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)

—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“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.”
