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.”

“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.”
