კითხულობს (იკითხავს) 1. to ask someone/something 2. to inquire about someone, to ask for someone // 1. jemanden etwas fragen 2. nach jemand fragen
Even though both verbs are almost identical in their conjugations as Class-I medial verbs on -ობ, always stay alert to distinguish correctly between კითხულობს/წაიკითხავს (to read) and კითხულობს/იკითხავს (to ask)! You can often recognize the meaning to ask by the object and context as well as by the lacking preverb წა-: მე ვიკითხე მასწავლებელი - I asked the teacher // ich habe den Lehrer gefragt.
Examples:
- როგორ გიკითხოთ?, როგორ მოგიკითხოთ? - How are you doing? // Wie geht es Ihnen?
- კითხულობს ვისიმე ამბავს - to ask about someone, to ask for someone // sich nach jemand erkundigen, nach jemand fragen
