Georgian Grammar - Gender

Hi Georgian learners! ๐Ÿ˜Š
In this lesson, we will learn about the gender rules in Georgian. We will look at the different genders and how to identify them. We will also look at some examples and practice using the gender rules. Finally, we will have a quiz to test your understanding.

Rules

In Georgian, there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. The gender of a noun is usually determined by its ending.

Masculine nouns usually end in -แƒ˜ or -แƒ. For example, แƒ›แƒแƒ›แƒ (mama) is masculine, แƒ“แƒ”แƒ“แƒ (dada) is masculine, and แƒกแƒแƒฎแƒšแƒ˜ (sakhli) is masculine.

Feminine nouns usually end in -แƒ” or -แƒ. For example, แƒ›แƒแƒ›แƒ (mama) is feminine, แƒ“แƒ”แƒ“แƒ (dada) is feminine, and แƒกแƒแƒฎแƒšแƒ˜ (sakhli) is feminine.

Neuter nouns usually end in -แƒ or -แƒ. For example, แƒ›แƒแƒ›แƒ (mama) is neuter, แƒ“แƒ”แƒ“แƒ (dada) is neuter, and แƒกแƒแƒฎแƒšแƒ˜ (sakhli) is neuter.

There are some exceptions to these rules. For example, some nouns that end in -แƒ˜ can be either masculine or feminine.

Examples

Here are some examples of nouns with their genders:

Georgian Pronunciation English Translation Gender
