Pay attention to the highlighted parts. What do they have in common?
The suffix -თ pluralizes a verb participant: მიდიხართ (you all go), წავალთ (we'll go), გელოდებით (I wait for you all - object plural!). Which participant it multiplies is read from the person prefixes plus context. It also builds let's-forms: წავიდეთ!
