1. შენ ძალიან ლამაზი ხარ

   Shen dzalian lamazi khar

   You are very beautiful

   Grammar Note

   "Khar" is the 2nd person singular form of the copula "q'ofna" (to be). Adjectives in predicate position require the copula in Georgian.

2. შენი სახელი რა არის?

   Sheni sakheli ra aris?

   What is your name?

   Grammar Note

   Georgian questions generally don't change word order. "Ra" (what) is one of the most basic question words.

3. საიდან ხარ?

   Saidan khar?

   Where are you from?

   Grammar Note

   "Saidan" = "sa-" (location prefix) + "-idan" (from, ablative case). Georgian has rich case endings; "-idan/-dan" marks the ablative (from).

4. ჩემი ნომერი ეს არის

   Chemi nomeri es aris

   This is my number

   Grammar Note

   "Chemi" is the Georgian 1st person possessive pronoun. "Nomeri" (number) is a loanword from Russian/French. A simple way to give your number.

5. სადმე ვისაუბროთ?

   Sadme visaubrot?

   Shall we talk somewhere?

   Grammar Note

   "Visaubrot" = v- (we) + -i- (stem vowel) + -saubr- (talk stem) + -ot (1st pl. hortative/optative ending). Georgian verb morphology uses complex combinations of prefixes and suffixes.

6. ვახშამზე წამიყვან?

   Vakhshamze ts'amiq'van?

   Will you take me out to dinner?

   Grammar Note

   "Ts'amiq'van" = "ts'a-" (preverb: away) + "m-" (me, object) + "q'van-" (lead stem). The object person is encoded inside the verb.

7. შენთან ყოფნა მახარებს

   Shentan q'opna makharebs

   Being with you makes me happy

   Grammar Note

   "Shentan" = "shen" (you) + "-tan" (adessive/comitative case meaning "near/with"). Georgian case "-tan" marks accompaniment and proximity.

8. ჩემს ფიქრებში ხარ

   Chems pikrebshi khar

   You are in my thoughts

   Grammar Note

   "ფიქრებში" is the plural of "ფიქრი" (thought) plus "-ში" (in), so "ჩემს ფიქრებში ხარ" means "you are in my thoughts". "აზრი" means "opinion/meaning" and is not used for "thoughts" here.

9. კვლავ შეგხვდები?

   K'vlav shegkhvdebi?

   Can we meet again?

   Grammar Note

   "Shegkhvdebi" encodes both "I" (subject) and "you" (object) in the verb form. Georgian verbs simultaneously mark both subject and object person.

10. მე შენი გამო ვიცინი

    Me sheni gamo vitsini

    You make me smile

    Grammar Note

    "Sheni gamo" = "your reason/cause" (postpositional phrase). Georgian uses postpositions rather than prepositions: "gamo" follows its noun.
