Learning the plural forms of Georgian words is an essential part of mastering the language. Plurals are used to indicate more than one of something, and they can be tricky to get right. In this lesson, we'll look at the rules for forming plurals in Georgian, and how to use them correctly.
Nouns
In Georgian, nouns have two different plural forms: the regular plural and the irregular plural. The regular plural is formed by adding the suffix -ebi to the end of the word. For example, the word for "book" is แฌแแแแ (tsigni), and the plural form is แฌแแแแแแ (tsignebi).
The irregular plural is formed by changing the stem of the word. For example, the word for "person" is แแแ แแแแแแ (pirveloba), and the plural form is แแแ แแแแแแ (pirvelobebi).
Adjectives
Adjectives also have two different plural forms. The regular plural is formed by adding the suffix -ebi to the end of the word. For example, the word for "beautiful" is แกแแงแแแ แแแ (sakvarelii), and the plural form is แกแแงแแแ แแแแแ (sakvarelebi).
The irregular plural is formed by changing the stem of the word. For example, the word for "happy" is แแแแแ แฏแแแแแ (gamarjvebadi), and the plural form is แแแแแ แฏแแแแแ (gamarjvebebi).
Verbs
Verbs also have two different plural forms. The regular plural is formed by adding the suffix -ebi to the end of the word. For example, the word for "to write" is แฉแแฌแแ แ (chacera), and the plural form is แฉแแฌแแ แแแ (chacerebi).
The irregular plural is formed by changing the stem of the word. For example, the word for "to read" is แฌแแแแแฎแแ (tsakitxva), and the plural form is แฌแแแแแฎแแแ (tsakitxvebi).
Practice
Now that you know the rules for forming plurals in Georgian, it's time to practice! Here are some examples of words in their singular and plural forms:
- แกแแฎแแแ (saxeli) - name - แกแแฎแแแแแ (saxeleebi) - names
- แแแแฎแแแแ (motxovna) - request - แแแแฎแแแแแแ (motxovnebi) - requests
- แกแฃแ แแแแ (survil) - wish - แกแฃแ แแแแแแ (survilebi) - wishes
- แแแแแแแจแ (motamase) - player - แแแแแแแจแแแ (motamasebi) - players
