A final term must be introduced here, the screeve<\/i> (coined by the Georgian linguist Ak ?ak ?i \u0160anije<\/a> from the Georgian word mc ?k ?rivi<\/i> ‘row’). A screeve is what is traditionally called a tense, i.e., a set of six forms of a given verb differing only in person and number, as in Latin amo<\/i>, amas<\/i>, amat<\/i>, amamus<\/i>, amatis<\/i>, amant<\/i>. But since the various “tenses” do not always have temporal meaning, but may have modal or aspectual meanings instead, we prefer the more unusual but less misleading term of screeves<\/i>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ever since I studied Georgian, I’ve continued using the word screeve<\/i> instead of tense<\/i> mentally, although of course I have to translate it when I’m speaking to non-Kartvelists. I really wish its use would increase.<\/p>\n

Der er dog et problem med, hvordan man skal overs\u00e6tte det til dansk. Et skriv<\/i> lyder ikke s\u00e5 godt. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
