Future pv-ს |
Aorist -ე/-ო |
Perfect -ია |
Imperfect -ი/-ა |
Optative -ო/-ონ |
Pluperfect -ო/-ოთ |
Example: | ათბობს |
- Many verbs: ათბობს, აფრთხობს, იღრძობს, აშრობს. Chotiwari-Jünger et al. (2010): Table 1.31 (ათბობს).
- Sometimes with parallel forms with -ვ- infix in aorist/perfect: შეატყობს, გამოაცხობს, აწყობს.
💡
Note that the -ვ- infix can be used in all persons in the perfect but only in the 1. and 2. person aorist – not in 3. person! It is მან დააწყო and მათ დააწყოს (and not დააწყვო, დააწყვოს).
