აქ/მანდ/იქ

Here and There

Level 1Sounds Like ak/mand/ik

აქ, მანდ and იქ mean here, there by you and over there.

How It Works

Place wordMatchesExample
აქ (here)ესმე აქ ვარ.
მანდ (there, by you)ეგმანდ რა არის?
იქ (over there)ისნინო იქ ცხოვრობს.

მანდ is common on the phone, because the other person is somewhere else: მანდ ცივა? (Is it cold where you are?)

Like other place words, they usually come before the verb: ნინო იქ ცხოვრობს (Nino lives there).

To ask where, use სად: სად ხარ? აქ ვარ (Where are you? I'm here).

Keep იქ (there) apart from ის (he, she, that): იქ always names a place. Add -დან for from: აქედან (from here), იქიდან (from there).
