Welcome to today's lesson on Georgian Grammar, where we will explore the conditional and imperative forms in the Georgian language! Understanding these forms is crucial for expressing possibilities, wishes, requests, and commands, which are essential in everyday communication.

As you journey into the beauty of the Georgian language, remember that mastering these grammatical structures will empower you to convey your thoughts more effectively and interact confidently with native speakers.

In this lesson, we will:

Define the conditional and imperative forms.

Provide clear examples to illustrate their usage.

Offer exercises for practice, along with solutions and explanations.

Before we dive deep, let’s take a moment to acknowledge how these forms function in Georgian, and why they are important. The conditional form allows you to express hypothetical situations—what could happen if certain conditions are met. Meanwhile, the imperative form is your go-to for giving commands or making requests, helping you interact directly with others.

Now, let's get started!

Conditional Form[edit | edit source]

The conditional form in Georgian is used to express actions or events that are dependent on certain conditions. In English, you might say, “If I go to the market, I will buy some bread.” In Georgian, this structure can be quite similar but has its unique conjugations and nuances.

Structure[edit | edit source]

The general structure for creating conditional sentences in Georgian involves the use of the conjunction "თუ" (tu), which means "if." The verb following this conjunction is typically conjugated in a specific way depending on the subject.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Let’s take a look at some examples of conditional sentences in Georgian:

Georgian	Pronunciation	English
თუ მე მეშინია, არ გავდივარ.	tu me meshinia, ar gavidvar.	If I am afraid, I do not go out.
თუ ის მოვა, მე წავალ.	tu is mova, me tsval.	If he comes, I will go.
თუ ისინი ჭამენ, მე არ ვჭამ.	tu isini ch'amen, me ar vch'am.	If they eat, I do not eat.
თუ ჩვენ გვინდა, უნდა ვიმუშაოთ.	tu chven gvinda, unda vimoshioth.	If we want, we must work.
თუ შენ გიყვარს, უნდა უთხრა.	tu shen giyvars, unda utkhra.	If you love, you must tell.
თუ მე გავაკეთებ, შენ უნდა დამეხმარო.	tu me gavaqeteb, shen unda damekhmaro.	If I do it, you must help me.
თუ იგი წავა, მე ვიქნები მარტო.	tu ighi ts'ava, me viknebi marto.	If he goes, I will be alone.
თუ ჩვენ ვსწავლობთ, წარმატებას მივაღწევთ.	tu chven vst'valobt, ts'armatebas mivartskhvet.	If we study, we will succeed.
თუ ისინი არ მოდიან, ჩვენ უნდა დაველოდოთ.	tu isini ar modian, chven unda davelodot.	If they don’t come, we should wait.
თუ თქვენ წახვალთ, მე არ ვიქნები აქ.	tu tkven ts'akhvalit, me ar viknebi ak.	If you leave, I will not be here.

Imperative Form[edit | edit source]

The imperative form is all about giving commands, making requests, or offering invitations. It’s a direct way of communicating what you want someone else to do.

Structure[edit | edit source]

In Georgian, the imperative form is usually formed by taking the verb stem and adding specific endings. The endings vary depending on whether you are addressing one person or multiple people.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Here are some examples of the imperative form in action:

Georgian	Pronunciation	English
მოდი აქ!	modi ak!	Come here!
წადი!	ts'adi!	Go away!
მომეცი!	mometsi!	Give me!
დაიკავე!	daik'ave!	Take it!
დაჯექი!	daj'eqi!	Sit down!
ჩამოწერე!	chamots'ere!	Write down!
გამარჯობა!	gamarjoba!	Say hello!
მიჰყავ!	mikh'ava!	Take me!
დამეხმარე!	damekhmare!	Help me!
ისაუბრეთ!	isaubreti!	Speak!

+Now, let's get started!
 __TOC__
-I'm excited to teach you about the conditional and imperative forms in Georgian! These verb forms allow you to express possibilities and commands, respectively.
+=== Conditional Form ===
+The '''conditional form''' in Georgian is used to express actions or events that are dependent on certain conditions. In English, you might say, “If I go to the market, I will buy some bread.” In Georgian, this structure can be quite similar but has its unique conjugations and nuances.
+==== Structure ====
+The general structure for creating conditional sentences in Georgian involves the use of the conjunction "თუ" (tu), which means "if." The verb following this conjunction is typically conjugated in a specific way depending on the subject.
-== Conditional Form ==
+==== Examples ====
-To form the conditional in Georgian, you first need to choose the appropriate verb stem for the subject pronoun. Then, you add the appropriate present tense ending:
+Let’s take a look at some examples of conditional sentences in Georgian:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| ვინმე || vinme || If I/he/she/they/you (formal)...
+| თუ მე მეშინია, არ გავდივარ. || tu me meshinia, ar gavidvar. || If I am afraid, I do not go out.
 |-
-| ხართ || k'art || If you (informal)...
+| თუ ის მოვა, მე წავალ. || tu is mova, me tsval. || If he comes, I will go.
+|-
+| თუ ისინი ჭამენ, მე არ ვჭამ. || tu isini ch'amen, me ar vch'am. || If they eat, I do not eat.
 |-
-}
-After the verb stem, you add the following endings:
+| თუ ჩვენ გვინდა, უნდა ვიმუშაოთ. || tu chven gvinda, unda vimoshioth. || If we want, we must work.
-- ვ– for 1st person singular (I)
-- ს– for 2nd person singular (you, informal)
+|-
-- ა– for 3rd person singular (he/she/it)
-- ვთ– for 1st person plural (we)
-- თ– for 2nd person plural (you, formal, or they)
-For example, let's take the verb "to drink": სასმელი (sasmeli). The verb stem is სასმ- (sasam-), with the appropriate ending added for the present tense. To form the conditional, you would take the verb stem sasam- and add the appropriate conditional endings:
+| თუ შენ გიყვარს, უნდა უთხრა. || tu shen giyvars, unda utkhra. || If you love, you must tell.
+|-
+| თუ მე გავაკეთებ, შენ უნდა დამეხმარო. || tu me gavaqeteb, shen unda damekhmaro. || If I do it, you must help me.
+|-
+| თუ იგი წავა, მე ვიქნები მარტო. || tu ighi ts'ava, me viknebi marto. || If he goes, I will be alone.
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| ვსასმებინებინა || vsasamebin'ebin'a || If I/he/she/they/you (formal) were drinking...
+| თუ ჩვენ ვსწავლობთ, წარმატებას მივაღწევთ. || tu chven vst'valobt, ts'armatebas mivartskhvet. || If we study, we will succeed.
 |-
-| ხართ სასმებინებთ || k'art sasamebin'ebt || If you (informal) were drinking...
+| თუ ისინი არ მოდიან, ჩვენ უნდა დაველოდოთ. || tu isini ar modian, chven unda davelodot. || If they don’t come, we should wait.
 |-
-}
-Notice that the conditional endings take different forms depending on the subject pronoun, but the verb stem remains the same.
+| თუ თქვენ წახვალთ, მე არ ვიქნები აქ. || tu tkven ts'akhvalit, me ar viknebi ak. || If you leave, I will not be here.
+|}
+=== Imperative Form ===
+The '''imperative form''' is all about giving commands, making requests, or offering invitations. It’s a direct way of communicating what you want someone else to do.
+==== Structure ====
+In Georgian, the imperative form is usually formed by taking the verb stem and adding specific endings. The endings vary depending on whether you are addressing one person or multiple people.
-== Imperative Form ==
+==== Examples ====
-The imperative form is used to give commands or make requests. It is formed by taking the appropriate verb stem, adding the imperative prefix, and then adding the appropriate ending:
+Here are some examples of the imperative form in action:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| დადგე || dadge || Give!
+| მოდი აქ! || modi ak! || Come here!
 |-
-| არავის ნუ გააკეთე || aravis nu gaak'et'e || Don't do anything!
+| წადი! || ts'adi! || Go away!
 |-
-}
-The imperative prefix is typically და– (da-) for positive commands and არა– (ara-) for negative commands. Then, you add the following endings:
+| მომეცი! || mometsi! || Give me!
-- –ა for 2nd person singular (you)
-- –თე for 2nd person plural (you, formal)
-For example, let's take the verb "to see": ხედავს (khedavs). The verb stem is ხედავ (kheda-). To give a positive command, you would add the imperative prefix da- and the appropriate ending –ა:
+|-
+| დაიკავე! || daik'ave! || Take it!
+|-
+| დაჯექი! || daj'eqi! || Sit down!
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| ხედა! || kheda! || Look!
+| ჩამოწერე! || chamots'ere! || Write down!
 |-
-}
-To give a negative command, you would add the imperative prefix ara- and the appropriate ending –ა:
+| გამარჯობა! || gamarjoba! || Say hello!
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Georgian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| არახედე! || arakhede! || Don't look!
+| მიჰყავ! || mikh'ava! || Take me!
 |-
-| არავის ნუ ხედავთ! || aravis nu khedavt || Don't look at anything!
+| დამეხმარე! || damekhmare! || Help me!
 |-
-}
-Remember that the imperative form is often used in commands or requests, so it is important to pay attention to the appropriate level of politeness based on your audience.
+| ისაუბრეთ! || isaubreti! || Speak!
