Understanding the Present Perfect Tense in Georgian
The Present Perfect Tense in Georgian is used to talk about actions that happened in the past but are important now. It's like saying 'I have done something'. This tense helps us connect the past with the present.
Important Points
- It describes actions that happened at an unspecified time before now.
- It is used for actions that have an effect on or relevance to the present.
- It often answers questions like 'What have you done?' or 'What has happened?'
In Georgian, the Present Perfect Tense is formed using a special verb form. It often involves the root of the verb and specific endings that indicate the perfect tense.
Examples
- მე გამიკეთებია ჩემი საშინაო დავალება.
- მან დაუწერია წერილი.
- ჩვენ გაგვიკეთებია ბევრი საქმე.
In these examples, the words in bold show the Present Perfect Tense. They tell us that the action has been completed and is relevant now.
Remember, this tense is not about when exactly the action happened, but about its connection to the present moment. This is why we don't usually use specific time expressions like 'yesterday' with the Present Perfect Tense.
Important Points
- Avoid using specific past time expressions with the Present Perfect Tense.
- Focus on the result or impact of the action in the present.
Examples
- ის უკვე მოსულა სკოლაში.
- მე არ მაქვს ჯერ გაუკეთებია ეს.
- ისინი დასრულებიათ თავიანთი პროექტი.
