Hi Georgian learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Georgian. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it can be tricky to get the hang of it. But don't worry, by the end of this lesson you'll have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Georgian.
Basic Question Structure
The basic structure for asking questions in Georgian is quite simple. All you need to do is add the particle -t to the end of the sentence. For example:
- Giorgi aris? (Is Giorgi here?)
This is the most basic way to ask a question in Georgian. However, there are some more complex structures that you can use to make your questions more specific.
Yes/No Questions
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either a yes or a no. To form a yes/no question in Georgian, you need to add the particle -t to the end of the sentence, as well as the particle -a before the verb. For example:
- Giorgi aris-a? (Is Giorgi here?)
Wh-Questions
Wh-questions are questions that start with a word like who, what, where, when, why, or how. To form a wh-question in Georgian, you need to add the particle -t to the end of the sentence, as well as the particle -m before the wh-word. For example:
- Ra moxvdit-t? (Who knows?)
Tag Questions
Tag questions are questions that are added to the end of a statement. To form a tag question in Georgian, you need to add the particle -t to the end of the statement, as well as the particle -a before the verb. For example:
- Giorgi aris-a, ara? (Giorgi is here, right?)
Other Tips
Here are some other tips to help you ask questions in Georgian:
- When asking a question, make sure to raise your intonation at the end of the sentence. This will help make it clear that you are asking a question.
- When asking a yes/no question, you can also add the particle -u after the verb. This is not necessary, but it can help emphasize that you are asking a question. For example:
- Giorgi aris-a-u? (Is Giorgi here?)
- When asking a wh-question, you can also add the particle -s after the wh-word. This is not necessary, but it can help emphasize that you are asking a question. For example:
- Ra moxvdit-s-t? (Who knows?)
Conclusion
That's it for today's lesson on how to ask questions in Georgian. As you can see, it's not too difficult to form questions in Georgian. Just remember to add the particles -t, -a, -m, and -u to the end of the sentence, and you'll be able to ask questions in Georgian with ease.
