Hi Georgian learners! ๐
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 -แแแ (-ebi) to the verb stem. The verb stem is the part of the verb that remains after removing the infinitive ending -แ (-o). For example, the verb stem of แแแชแแแแแ (vitsod-ebi) is แแแชแแ (vitsod).
The future tense can also be formed by adding the prefix แแ- (mo-) to the verb stem. This is used for verbs that begin with a vowel. For example, the verb แแฆแแ (ag-ar) becomes แแแแฆแแ แแแ (moag-arebi).
Examples
| Georgian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| แแแชแแแแแ | vitsod-ebi | I will understand |
| แแแแแแฌแแแก | mogvits-evs | He/She will understand |
| แแแแฆแแ แแแ | moag-arebi | We will not do |
| แแแแแฎแแแแแ | vinax-avebi | They will see |
