Personal pronouns: me, shen, is, chven, tkven, isini - and when to drop them.
I can use the six personal pronouns and know that Georgian has no grammatical gender.
Look at these examples. Can you spot the grammar pattern?
მე საქართველოდან ვარ.
I am from Georgia.
ის ექიმია.
He (or she) is a doctor.
ჩვენ მეგობრები ვართ.
We are friends.
Pay attention to the highlighted parts. What do they have in common?
Georgian has six personal pronouns: მე (I), შენ (you), ის (he/she/it - one word for all three!), ჩვენ (we), თქვენ (you plural / polite), ისინი (they).
Two key points: Georgian has no gender, so ის covers he, she and it; and because the verb already marks the person (ვ- = I, -ს = he/she), pronouns are often dropped: ვსწავლობ alone means "I study".

Practice ExercisesLooking for separate he/she words - ის covers both. Using შენ with strangers (use polite თქვენ). Repeating the pronoun in every sentence - Georgian drops it when the verb makes it clear.
Wrong pronoun choice or expecting gendered forms
Review the pronoun table; remember ის = he/she/it.
მე საქართველოდან ვარ.
I am from Georgia.
მე = I; -დან = from (Sakartvelo = Georgia).
ის ექიმია.
He (or she) is a doctor.
ის = he/she/it: Georgian pronouns have no gender.
ჩვენ მეგობრები ვართ.
We are friends.
ჩვენ = we; ვართ = we are.
