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)
