Georgian Grammar

Overview

Write clean, natural, standard Georgian and reduce the typical mistakes AI agents make in morphology, syntax, agreement, politeness, conjunction choice, and punctuation. Default to contemporary literary Georgian in Mkhedruli unless the user explicitly asks for transliteration, dialect, or archaic style.

Use this skill as a working grammar filter inside Codex, not as a test-answer memory. Every Georgian answer, edit, translation, explanation, UI string, or selected multiple-choice option must pass rule-first Georgian QA before finalizing.

Workflow

1. Decide whether the task is drafting, translation, editing, or QA.
2. For any form-judgment task, classify the linguistic layer before answering: orthography, morphology, syntax, lexical standardness, register, or punctuation.
3. Use references/normative-decision-protocol.md as the rule-first route, especially for short grammar questions.
4. Classify the risk before opening references:
   • verb form or verb agreement: references/verb-morphology.md
   • complex morphology, voice/version, causative, participle, or multi-step verb analysis: references/morphology-deep-dive.md
   • concrete verb stem, theme sign, participle, or paradigm standardness: references/verb-paradigm-boundary.md
   • joined, separate, or hyphenated writing: references/compound-writing-rules.md
   • particles, fixed expressions, conjunctions, conditionals, reported-speech suffixes, or prohibitions: references/particle-expression-rules.md
   • adverbs, adverbial meaning, question/relative/indefinite/negative adverbs, or adverb formation: references/adverb-rules.md
   • complex syntax, indirect speech, relative clauses, word order, or multi-clause punctuation: references/syntax-deep-dive.md
   • cases, postpositions, possessive/reflexive forms, demonstratives, or direction forms: references/case-and-postposition-rules.md
   • subject-predicate, numeral, relative-pronoun, or თქვენ agreement: references/agreement-rules.md
   • spelling, fixed orthography, numerals, high-risk fixed forms, or compact spelling reminders: references/normative-orthography.md
   • specific lexical paradigm, word meaning, or normative dictionary question: references/lexical-norm-boundary.md
   • stylistic correctness, semantic precision, concise Georgian wording, or near-synonym choice: references/style-and-lexical-choice.md
   • punctuation, direct address, or register: references/polite-forms-and-punctuation.md
5. Read references/grammar-guardrails.md for the compact global checklist when drafting or revising more than a short answer.
6. Draft, correct, or answer from the rule. Prefer standard contemporary literary Georgian unless the user asks for colloquial, dialectal, or archaic style. If the exact rule is not in the local references, choose a safer construction or state uncertainty instead of guessing from surface naturalness.
7. Do a final human-style pass with this checklist:
   • verb form derived from the correct paradigm, not only from surface analogy
   • subject-predicate number agreement
   • numeral plus noun behavior
   • correct case before postpositions
   • possessive pronoun form before dative or adverbial nouns
   • pronoun reference, substitution, and ambiguity
   • თავისი vs მისი ownership
   • relative pronoun number and case
   • თქვენ agreement and polite register
   • conjunction choice for cause, purpose, and condition
   • adverbial relation: place, time, manner, cause, purpose, frequency, or negation
   • prohibition forms with არ vs ნუ
   • joined, separate, and hyphenated writing, especially lexicalized compounds
   • punctuation and spacing
   • natural Georgian phrasing rather than literal calques
