Georgian Grammar in One Place
Just for you.
Welcome Learners!
Hi, I made this website because the learners of Georgian struggle a lot when it comes to grammar of our language, especially the verbs and most resources do not teach comprehensively or sometimes even plain incorrectly, so this website is going to cover important things that Georgian grammar has to offer so you can start learning the language yourself.
I get asked a lot by foreigners about the difficulties in our grammar and pronunciation. Of course, they are hard, but with enough dedication, you can learn and succeed to a level where you can have conversations and listen to Georgians speak.
I want to welcome you to my website and thank you for trying/wanting to learn our beautiful yet hard language.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Georgian Have 2-3 Alphabets?
No, I don't know where people see this, but modern Georgians do not use/have 2 or 3 alphabets. We use one, which is called მხედრული <- and that's it. However, I do want to point out that Georgian has developed this alphabet over long times of history and before it, we had two others ასომთავრული and ნუსხა-ხუცური which had two different scripts and may still be used, mainly, in churches.
Why are Georgian verbs
so hard?
- Well, Georgian is an agglutinative language with polypersonal agreement. For me, Georgian is like magic land of affixes which go on nouns, verbs and other parts of speech. Georgian developed over time, so things appeared and disappeared.
That's really it.
Do all Georgians speak the same way
No, Georgia consists of many regions where each speak with different tone and grammar (though they are really just small changes). Though the most well-known parts are სამეგრელო, where people speak მეგრული (Mingrelian) and სვანეთი, where people speak სვანური. Georgian or Kartvelian consists of 4 main languages: ქართული, მეგრული, სვანური and ლაზური (Laz).
Since all languages share the same root they are really alike by grammar but to us, the speakers of Georgian, it is hard/impossible to understand them.
