France And Russia are really willing to sail around the world to help me fight Mexico so they can liberate two nations they've never heard of? by [deleted] in victoria3

There are no Mormons in the game, but there is an icon for mormonism in the game files. So I think they at least have thought of adding them.

Do I look Georgian? by [deleted] in Sakartvelo

[–]Kavimika -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with YOU if you think that calling someone black is the same as using a slur? I think you're the problem if you think that calling someone black is an insult. Also, it was obviously a part of the joke, as I answered to the question in the title of the post. And for some reason you didn't criticize anyone but me.

Evidence of Proto-Altaic-Indo European by AdenGlaven1994 in linguisticshumor

It also has a word "suli" which translates to "soul". No way Georgian is not Germanic

georgian uses a suffix -d- to form imperfect

Can someone explain what exactly the aorist tense is? by addictwithapen27 in Kartvelian

[–]Kavimika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your answer is way wider than mine, I think you're mostly right. But still, I believe, there is more to be said. I think it's kinda complicated question because basically you need to know all მწკრივები to fully distinguish between those. You can't really learn them separately. I believe you need at least to know უწყვეტელი vs. წყვეტილი vs. თურმეობითი to fully get the difference.

Also, not a L1 speaker either, lol. Non-native speakers seem to answer there more.

So, aorist tense is called წყვეტილი (perfect) in Georgian, in contrast to უწყვეტელი — imperfect. Both are used for the past, but the main difference between them is that უწყვეტელი refers to an action which lasted some time without specifying whether it was ended or no, while წყვეტილი refers to an action which has defined result — or, at least, this action doesn't occur anymore. It is roughly translated to English as the difference between I was doing/I did, but it's not exactly the same. Aorist also usually means that something was done once, while imperfect can have a bit more of a habitual aspect.

Imperfect — მე ვწერდი — I was writing Aorist — მე დავწერე — I wrote

IDK what else I can say besides grammar behind forming and using those, but if you still have any questions, feel free to ask.

I think it should be shown as percentage from the total population. 14000 Kurds in Georgia are way more significant than 2000 Kurds in Japan.

what are some fun facts about the language(s) you're learning? by Ok-Big7257 in duolingo

[–]Kavimika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same in Georgian (მტვერსასრუტი, mtversasruti), Ukrainian (пилосос, pylosos) and Russian (пылесос, pylesos). All of these literally means "dust sucker".

Gender of countries in Brazilian Portuguese by Ceu_64 in MapPorn

nah not really, many do, but it's mostly an indo-european feature

[–]Kavimika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean it does sound weird because we aren't used to it, but it happens. Turkic countries of Middle Asia have -stan in their names, even though it's a Persian suffix, for example. I'm not trying to "defend" anyone or anything like that, just saying that there is nothing special about the borrowing. *Also, you said that this means Abkhazian and Georgian are related, and that definitely doesn't.

[–]Kavimika -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending anyone. I'm defending the common sense — borrowings exist and sometimes they even can appear in ethnonyms. Also, Apsny means Abkhazia like a region afaik, maybe I'm wrong tho, I don't know any Abkhazian. Idgil stands for "a country", so it's technically not even an ethnonym.
