Contacts & SNS

1. თქვენი ნომერი მომეცით

   Tkveni nomeri mometsit

   Please give me your phone number

   Grammar Note

   "მომეცით" = "მო-" (toward speaker) + "მე-" (to me) + "ც-" (give) + "-ით" (imperative) — directional, recipient, action, and mood all in one polypersonal verb

2. მეილი მომეცით

   Meili mometsit

   Please give me your email address

   Grammar Note

   "მეილი" is an English loanword (via Russian). Writing it in Mkhedruli fully integrates it into Georgian. Modern loanwords are always written in the Mkhedruli script

3. ინსტაგრამი გაქვთ?

   Inst'agrami gakvt?

   Do you have Instagram?

   Grammar Note

   Adding any SNS name before "გაქვთ (you have)" creates a natural question. Georgian possession uses the polypersonal verb system where the possessor is marked in the verb

4. WhatsApp-ი გაქვთ?

   WhatsApp-i gakvt?

   Do you have WhatsApp?

   Grammar Note

   Foreign words and proper nouns get the Georgian nominative suffix "-ი". WhatsApp is among the most popular messaging tools in Georgia

5. ნახვამდის, კიდევ შევხვდეთ

   Nakhvamdis, k'idev shevkhvdet

   Goodbye, let's meet again

   Grammar Note

   "შევხვდეთ" is the cohortative first-person plural subjunctive: "შე-" (perfective) + "ვ-" (first person) + "ხვდ-" (meet) + "-ეთ" (plural) = let's meet

6. სახელი რა გქვიათ?

   Sakheli ra gkviat?

   What is your name?

   Grammar Note

   "გქვიათ" = "to you the name [X] exists" — the polypersonal name-verb. "გ-" marks second-person object; the person's name is the subject

7. სად ცხოვრობთ?

   Sad tskhovrobt?

   Where do you live?

   Grammar Note

   "-ობ-" forms the imperfective stem in Georgian, indicating ongoing/habitual action. "ცხოვრობს" = lives (as ongoing state). Aspect is grammaticalized in Georgian verbs

8. მომწერეთ

   Momts'eret

   Write to me / Message me

   Grammar Note

   "მომწერეთ" = direction (მო- = toward me) + recipient (მ- = to me) + write (წერ-) + imperative (-ეთ) — a perfect polypersonal verb example with four components in one word

9. ძალიან სასიამოვნო გაცნობა

   Dzalian sasiamovno gatsnoba

   Very nice to meet you

   Grammar Note

   "სასიამოვნო" = "სა-" + "სიამ-" (pleasure) + "-ოვნ-" (adj marker) + "-ო" = pleasant. Georgian derivational morphology is highly productive with multiple affixes

10. ფოტო გადავიღოთ?

    Pot'o gadavighot?

    Shall we take a photo together?

    Grammar Note

    "გადავიღოთ" is the cohortative first-person plural subjunctive: "let's [take a photo]". The "-ოთ" suffix marks shared action proposal. Georgian subjunctive expresses diverse meanings
