Hi Georgian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Georgian. We will look at how to form the future tense, as well as some examples of how it is used. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better understanding of how to use the future tense in Georgian.
Forming the Future Tense
The future tense in Georgian is formed by adding the suffix -ები (-ebi) to the verb stem. The verb stem is the part of the verb that remains after removing the infinitive ending -ო (-o). For example, the verb stem of ვიცოდები (vitsod-ebi) is ვიცოდ (vitsod).
The future tense can also be formed by adding the prefix მო- (mo-) to the verb stem. This is used for verbs that begin with a vowel. For example, the verb აღარ (ag-ar) becomes მოაღარები (moag-arebi).
Examples
Georgian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
ვიცოდები | vitsod-ebi | I will understand |
მოგვიწევს | mogvits-evs | He/She will understand |
მოაღარები | moag-arebi | We will not do |
ვინახავები | vinax-avebi | They will see |
Usage
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will take place in the future. It can also be used to make predictions or assumptions about the future.
Examples
Georgian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
მე ამდენს მოგვარებ | me amdens mogvare | I will go tomorrow |
მას არ აღარ მოაღარებს | mas ar ag-ar moag-arebs | He/She won't do it |
მოგვიწევს ამის შესახებ | mogvits-evs amis shesaxeb | He/She will understand this |
მე ვინახავ ამის შესახებ | me vinax-av amis shesaxeb | I will see this |
Conclusion
In this lesson, we have looked at how to form the future tense in Georgian and how it is used. We have seen that the future tense is formed by adding the suffix -ები (-ebi) to the verb stem, or by adding the prefix მო- (mo-) to the verb stem for verbs that begin with a vowel. We have also seen some examples of how the future tense is used.
Now that you have a better understanding of the future tense in Georgian, why not try using it in your own conversations? You can also practice by writing sentences in the future tense.
