Adverbial Case - Examples

Examples

In Georgian, the adverbial case has several functions. Its most common usage is to derive adverbs from adjectives, just as in English:

Pianinoze kargad ukravs ("He/she plays the piano well")

The adverbial case suffix is -ad.

The adverbial case also acts as the essive case, as in:

Masc'avleblad mushaobs ("He works as a teacher")

The adverbial case is also employed when stating the name of a language:

Inglisurad lap'arakobs ("(S)he speaks English")
Germanulad gadatargmna ("(S)he translated it to German")

With the passive future participle in sa-, the adverbial case often is used to form purposive or infinitival-like constructions:

Usatuod shevecdebi biletebi vishovo mag p'iesis sanaxavad
Without a doubt I will try to get tickets to see this play. (Aronson, p. 402)

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
