Thanks for all these videos! i will be starting a PhD soon with a focus on Georgia so I am starting to learn the language. Do you know if there is a course in Tbilisi that a foreigner can do or do I need to just find a private tutor?
დიდი მადლობა! მამაჩემი ქართველია, მაგრამ მე ძაან ცუდათ ქართულათ ვლაპარაკობ (საქართველოში მარტო ოთხ ჯერ ვიყავი) - შენი ვიდეოები მომეწონა, ვწავლობასთვის კარგი არის :) (ahh i hope that wasn't completely wrong! ://)
Very interesting. I come from the very west of France where we speak a celtic language called Breton, and we have a weird 20-based counting system too, we have words until 20 like in georgian, then another one for 30... and then we count. 40 = "two twenty", 50 = "half hundred", 60 = "three twenty", 70 = "three twenty and ten", 80 = "four twenty", and 90 = "four twenty and ten".
@starklysparkling Well here are some interesting numbers then: c'hwezek war tri ugent (sixteen on three twenties) = 76, pemp war pevar ugent (five on four twenties) = 95, eizh war hanter-kant (eight on half-hundred) = 58, etc. And yes, although most people don't know it, there are 1 million French people who speak like that, additionally to French ;)
@Sirwobblezz I think it does have a celtic root yeah, as I heard that the Gaulic language had this kind of system too. Actually there are words for 70 (septante), 80 (huitante) and 90 (nonante) but they are used only in Belgium and in Switzerland (huitante only in Switzerland).
@AnDivroer yea, i used to live on the border to Switzerland and refused to say quatre-vingt-huit in maths class in France. i used the Swiss way of saying it, the proudly French teacher wasn't happy.
@Sirwobblezz Oh yeah it can happen... some French people tend to forget that France is not the only French-speaking country and consider that what we don't say here is not correct... don't pay attention to them ;)
Georgian has a vigesimal number system, based on the counting system of 20, like Basque or Old French. In order to express a number greater than 20 and less than 100, first the number of 20s in the number is stated and the remaining number is added. For example, 93 is expressed as = four-times-twenty-and-thirteen)...
Could you please add some more lessons, for example basic nouns - a man, a woman, a dog, a cat, and put them in sentences, e.g. I have a cat, I am a woman, they are men, etc. It would be great. . .
thank you i'll visit goergia next year :) so i need to talk georgian, well at least an understandable georgian XD :D i hope to learn a lot with your videos :)
@burnsport1 this kind of language is called agglutinative :)))) and is really difficult to foreigners. most of Caucasian languages are like that. grammar also is relatively different from indoeuropean. this shows how old, interesting and different people we are :))) we have tree kinds of own alphabets. also, we are the first ancient vine producers :)) thanks for watching :)))
nooooo I don't like the letters with the ' . How are you making that clicking noise with your voice? Btw I am going to visit your country this fall. :) I'm excited.
I adore this guy :D and we are Georgians both of us ^__^ უჩა, რას შვრები როგორ ხარ :)))

სალამი ჩემო მეგობარო! მე ვცდილობ ქართულის სწავლას. მართლა მომწონს მაგრამ ძნელი ენაა. ვეცდები ვისწავლო. გისურვებთ კარგ დღეს!
სწორია?

@AnDivroer that's probably why in French they also say 80="four twenty" and for 90="four twenty and ten" ?
