What is the difference between დამეხმარე and მომეხმარე?
reddit.comWe built a free adaptive Georgian level test (A0 to C1+)
There is no CEFR placement test for Georgian. Not a free one, not a paid one, not one behind a university login. If you want to know where you actually stand, the options are guessing or paying a tutor for an assessment hour.
So we built one. It is free, needs no signup, and takes about eight minutes.
How it works: a short vocabulary screen, then 19 adaptive items that get harder or easier based on how you are doing, then a typed bonus section. The engine is a constrained ELO variant.
We're curious to hear if you find it to be accurate.

The methodology page explains the engine, the item pipeline and exactly what the provisional cutoffs mean. Disclosure, we sell Georgian courses, and the result page recommends one of ours. The test itself is free, ungated, and asking for your email is optional (it sends a longer report if you want one).
Update 12/08/2026: Slightly modified scoring, one question changed, and now capped at B2+ instead of C1+, all based on feedback from you guys.
Does Georgian have the schwa sound in any capacity?
What do you say when you don't know what to say? Do you say ააამმმ or ეეემმმ? I feel like I've heard some Georgians say "uuummm" with the schwa sound but I'm not sure. Even if that is the case, how would you write it when there's no letter for that sound?
At the same time though, I've heard some Georgians struggle to pronounce schwa, which would imply that it's not actually used at all in speech. I don't know. That's why I'm asking here haha.
Goyim
How did the word goyim (გოიმი) travel to georgia and received its own distinct meaning to georgians?
Is there a verb for telling someone to call you შენ?
In some languages they have a specific verb for telling someone to call you the informal you. Does Georgian do it with a verb? Or do you just tell someone „ჩემთან შენ-ით შეგიძლია ილაპარაკო” (I hope I said that right lol).
Thanks!
