The Present Screeve Concept

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

The Present Screeve describes actions happening now; just add the correct prefix and suffix to your verb root.

  • Use prefixes for subject/object agreement: 'v-' for I, 'h-/s-' for he/she.
  • Add the present tense suffix '-t' for plural subjects.
  • Most verbs follow a predictable pattern based on the vowel ending of the root.
Prefix + Root + Suffix = Present Action

Always check if you need the -t suffix for plural subjects.

Learn verb groups

Georgian verbs fall into groups based on their endings; learn the group, learn the conjugation.
