Giving & Taking

Learning expressions about giving and taking is one of the first topics in any language-learning setting, and be it only because we are often guests and tourists in the country of choice. And this is not different in Georgian.

Therefore, learning the words აძლევს and მიიღებს should be straighforward and pose no bigger problem. One should be a bit more careful with აძლევს because it does not belong to any of the more familiar conjugation classes but is rather a mixture of აძლევს and მიცემა, depending on tense or mood.

To express given and taken, you can use მიღებული and მიცემული, for example მიღებული სტატია - the accepted article or მიცემული საჩუქარი - the given present. Both should not be hard to learn, since they are derived from მიიღებს ანდ აძლევს/მიცემა. Indeed, such cross-links can help fortify the connections between the new words in your neural networks, for example connecting აძლევს with მიცემა/მიცემული!

Fore the advanced learner other verbs could be useful to express offering something or handing over something to someone to become a bit more articulate. Both of these meanings are expressed by the verbs მიაწოდებს, მიართმევს and შესთავაზებს. Learn one (or all three) of them to take the next step. If you want to return something to someone, you can use გააბრუნებს.

I am working continuously (but slowly) on the pages here, mostly on the thesauri, which is not always visible as a true "blog post" but the content is growing steadily. All the verbs mentioned above are in the thesaurus მიცემა & მიღება. Just follow the link below ...
