Too and Also

Level 1Sounds Like ts

Add -ც to a word to say too or also.

How It Works

EnglishGeorgian
me tooმეც
you tooშენც
Nino tooნინოც
we tooჩვენც
coffee too (as an object)ყავასაც

Compare: ნინოც ყავას სვამს (Nino drinks coffee too, like someone else) and ნინო ყავასაც სვამს (Nino drinks coffee too, as well as tea).

Put -ც on two words to say both ... and: ნინოც და გიორგიც თბილისში ცხოვრობენ (Both Nino and Giorgi live in Tbilisi).

A quick answer: მიყვარს თბილისი! მეც! (I love Tbilisi! Me too!)

-ც is always joined to the word, with no space. After a consonant it becomes -აც (ყავასაც), except in შენც, ჩვენც and თქვენც. For me neither, Georgian says არც მე, which you will learn later with არც ... არც.

Examples (5)

  1. მეც!

    Me too!

    მე plus -ც.

  2. ნინოც მოდის.

    Nino is coming too.

    -ც on ნინო: Nino as well as others.

  3. გიორგიც ექიმი არის.

    Giorgi is a doctor too.

    -ც on the person.

  4. ნინო ყავასაც სვამს.

    Nino drinks coffee too.

    ყავას ends in a consonant, so it takes -აც.

  5. ნინოც და გიორგიც თბილისში ცხოვრობენ.

    Both Nino and Giorgi live in Tbilisi.

    -ც on both names means both.

Common Mistakes

  • Adding only -ც after the dative -ს.

    ნინო ყავასც სვამს.
    ნინო ყავასაც სვამს.

    After a consonant like the -ს, use -აც.
