===Word formations=== Georgian has a word derivation system, which allows the derivation of nouns from verb roots both with prefixes and suffixes, for example: * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|ts’er}}- 'write', the words {{transliteration|ka|'''ts’er'''ili}} 'letter' and ''m'''ts’er'''ali'' 'writer' are derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|tsa}}- 'give', the word {{transliteration|ka|gada'''ts'''ema}} 'broadcast' is derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|tsda}}- 'try', the word {{transliteration|ka|gamo'''tsd'''a}} 'exam' is derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|gav}}- 'resemble', the words {{transliteration|ka|ms'''gav'''si}} 'similar' and ''ms'''gav'''seba'' 'similarity' are derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|shen}}- 'build', the word {{transliteration|ka|'''shen'''oba}} 'building' is derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|tskh}}- 'bake', the word {{transliteration|ka|nam'''tskh'''vari}} 'cake' is derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|tsiv}}- 'cold', the word {{transliteration|ka|ma'''tsiv'''ari}} 'refrigerator' is derived. * From the root -{{transliteration|ka|pr}}- 'fly', the words {{transliteration|ka|tvitm'''pr'''inavi}} 'airplane' and {{transliteration|ka|a'''pr'''ena}} 'takeoff' are derived. It is also possible to derive verbs from nouns: * From the noun -{{transliteration|ka|omi}}- 'war', the verb {{transliteration|ka|'''om'''ob}} 'you wage/are waging war' is derived. * From the noun -{{transliteration|ka|sadili}}- 'lunch', the verb {{transliteration|ka|'''sadil'''ob}} 'you eat/are eating lunch' is derived. * From the noun -{{transliteration|ka|sauzme}} 'breakfast', the verb {{transliteration|ka|ts’a'''sauzm'''eba}} 'eating a little breakfast' is derived; the preverb ''ts’a''- in Georgian adds the meaning 'a little'. * From the noun -{{transliteration|ka|sakhli}}- 'home', the verb {{transliteration|ka|gada'''sakhl'''eba}} 'relocating, moving' is derived. Likewise, verbs can be derived from adjectives, for example: * From the adjective -{{transliteration|ka|ts’iteli}}- 'red', the verb {{transliteration|ka|ga'''ts’itl'''eba}} 'blushing, making one blush' is derived. This kind of derivation can be done with many adjectives in Georgian. * From the adjective -{{transliteration|ka|brma}} 'blind', the verbs {{transliteration|ka|da'''brma'''veba}} 'becoming blind, blinding someone' are derived. * From the adjective -{{transliteration|ka|lamazi}}- 'beautiful', the verb {{transliteration|ka|ga'''lamaz'''eba}} 'becoming beautiful' is derived.
