Sounds and Writing

In Georgian, only the third person pronouns are inflected for case, the 1st and 2nd person pronouns aren't really used that often and can usually be replaced by the conjugation of the verb itself.

Personal Pronouns

The personal pronouns for 3rd person work differently than 1st and 2nd person pronouns.

1st and 2nd Person Pronouns

Personal Pronouns
	Singular	Plural
1st Person	მე me	ჩვენ çven
2nd Person	შენ men	თქვენ tkven

3rd Person Pronouns and Demonstratives

The third person pronoun operates as both a pronoun and a demonstrative. This can be either ის or იგი. The ის form also functions as a demonstrative indicating "that thing over there" (as opposed to something near the speaker or near the listener). The other demonstratives are ეს and ეგ. These will be laid out in a table for you below:

Personal Pronouns and Demonstratives
	Singular	Plural
This (near speaker)	ეს es	ესე-ნ-ი ese-n-i
That (near listener)	ეგ eg	ეგე-ნ-ი ege-n-i
3rd person and That (away from speaker and listener)	ის / იგი is / igi	ისი-ნ-ი / იგი-ნ-ი isi-n-i / igi-n-i
