सामान्य गलतियाँ

You forgot to mark the recipient with the -s suffix. In Georgian, the recipient must have this marker.

Wrong: მე ვაძლევ წიგნი მასწავლებელი.
सही: მე ვაძლევ წიგნს მასწავლებელს.

You must attach the suffix directly to the end of the noun.

Wrong: ვაძლევ მასწავლებელ.
सही: ვაძლევ მასწავლებელს.

Even the object being given often takes a specific case. Keep practicing!

Wrong: მასწავლებელს ვაძლევ წიგნი.
सही: მასწავლებელს ვაძლევ წიგნს.
