ყოფილხარ?

Have You Been?

Level 5Sounds Like qʼopilkhar?

The perfect of to be asks and tells where someone has been: საქართველოში ყოფილხარ? (Have you been to Georgia?)

How It Works

To ask whether someone has ever visited a place, Georgian uses the perfect of to be. The place takes -ში, since you were in it:

The I, you, we and you-all forms add the endings of ვარ, ხარ, ვართ and ხართ to ყოფილ-, and the I- and we-forms also start with ვ-.

For never, use არასდროს: სვანეთში არასდროს ვყოფილვარ (I've never been to Svaneti).

The he-or-she form ყოფილა also means it turns out it was, which has its own topic.

ყოფილხარ: the you-form.
