A new work for the knowledge of the Georgian language
This bilingual French-Georgian dictionary is a new work which contributes to fill a gap in the knowledge of the Georgian language in France. It is a tool practical and an accessible working tool intended for French speakers who are interested in the Georgian language, which will also be useful to Georgians learning the French language, as to all those who travel or work in Georgia, country of ancient and great culture, or to enthusiasts of this rare language. There are old editions of French-Georgian dictionaries. The latest one was published in Georgia more than twenty years ago. In France, apart from a certain number of thematic works, this type of work did not exist. This dictionary contains approximately 6,000 entries. Each entry includes the brand grammatical, the translation of the lexical unit and the belonging of the word to this or that part of speech, with the most used fixed phrases and expressions relating to it. THE transitive and intransitive verbs are indicated and conjugated in the 3rd person singular in three main tenses, as well as the equivalents of pronominal verbs. The work also contains, in the first part, a presentation of the Georgian language, with a simplified overview of the grammar, which allows you to have a clear vision of the structure of the language, and, at the end of the book, it offers a conversation guide and appendices cultural.
