Georgian's non-Ergative Aorist Series

[@thequantumcat184]

As a Basque speaker, while there are many differences, it's cool to see the many similarities in the verb systems of Basque and Georgian

4:50 "აკეთება" is incorrect, it's "აკეთებს". Same for "გააკეთება", it's "გააკეთებს". 6:01 "ძაიღლება" is incorrect, it's "დაიღლება". 12:14 "იცეკვევს" is incorrect, it's "იცეკვებს"

I used to speak ancient Russian. And after watching this video and doing some research about ancient Russian language, i had learned that my ancient Russian teacher duped me, had taken my money and had actually taught me modern Klingon instead. So i will leave you with this: .'Ter ,'chäl valhäla. Tarr'choon. (Tip: you must use a Klingon growly voice when saying this. And avoid spitting as well when saying this to anyone)

Idk how to feel about this, on one hand, that's a scam. On the other hand, you learned Klingon "accidentally" which is scientifically quite the data point. Excellent comment, if you're not trolling that's incredible.

This is so cool as a Georgian speaker. One thing I want to ask though: you mention how it’s weird that to dance is treated in a similar way to these other transitive verbs but did you consider that dancing could be transitive in Georgian. Georgians can say somebody danced a certain type of dance like “the man danced Ajaruli” with the word Ajaruli marked as Nominative. It also makes sense to me as

[@grammarfellowhreodbeorht3691]

This is a good point! Sometimes transitives can masquerade as intransitives when we don't say the direct object. I believe the dance verb is mentioned in my video on optional transitives -- we can use some syntactic tools to argue that this verb is sometimes genuinely intransitive, and other times transitive with a dropped or un-dropped object (like Ajaruli).

Great video

This video was really complicated but I enjoyed it. I struggled to follow though.

This was very helpful, thank you for this video

Hello. Do you have a favorite language?

[@christrickett3291]

Well I know 14 languages and Georgian so far is the easiest... yet you made this seem super-complex. Who is this aimed at? PhD students or people just wanting to learn to speak? It isn't necessary to complicate languages, although I respect your knowledge, most of this just makes it all seem unachievable, while in fact Georgian is quite straightforward for the most part. Thank you for trying.

I don't mean to be rude but this is basic Georgian grammar, it's just not presented in a learner-specific mindset. The video is for anyone who is interested in the given topic, if you sometime while learning Georgian wondered about the inconsistencies of regarding it as just a simple ergative language and you want to get more specific than it's a more than well made video. It may seem unachievable because it has a lot of linguistics terms and it's not worried about learners per say, it's a linguistics focused video for people interested in the linguistics of the language, most of this stuff a casual learner could learn by themselves by immersion but that's not the point of the video.
