verbs Stative verbs do not constitute a class per se, but rather refer to a state, and their conjugations are very similar to those of indirect verbs. For example, when one says, "the picture is hanging on the wall", the equivalent of "hang" is a stative verb. Irregular verbs There are numerous irregular verbs in Georgian; most of them employ the conjugation system of Class 2 intransitive verbs. Irregular verbs use different stems in different screeves, and their conjugations deviate from the conjugations of regular intransitive verbs. Some irregular verbs are: "be", "come", "say", "tell" and "give". Screeves There are three series of screeves in Georgian: first, second and third series. The first series has two subseries, which are called the present and the future subseries. The second series is also called the aorist series, and the third series is called the perfective series. There are a total of eleven screeves. The present indicative is used to express an event at the time of speaking ("S/he is verbing"). It is also used to indicate an event that happens habitually ("S/he verbs"). The imperfect screeve is used to express an incomplete or continuous action in the past ("S/he was verbing"). It is also used to indicate a habitual past action (i.e. "S/he (regularly/often/sometimes) verbed", "S/he would verb", "S/he used to verb"). The present subjunctive screeve is used to express an unlikely event in the present and is usually used as a relative clause ("That s/he be verbing"). The future screeve is used to express an event that will take place in the future ("S/he will verb"). The conditional screeve is used together with if ("S/he would verb or "S/he would have verbed"). The future subjunctive screeve is used to express an unlikely event in the future and is usually used as a dependent clause. The aorist screeve is used to indicate an action that took place in the past ("S/he verbed"). It is also used in imperatives (Verb!). The optative screeve has many uses: In negative imperatives ("Do not verb!"). In obligations ("S/he must verb"). In hypothetical conditions ("If s/he verbed (optative), X would happen (conditional)"). In exhortations ("Let's verb"). The present perfect screeve is used to indicate an action, which the speaker did not witness ("S/he has verbed"). The pluperfect screeve is used to indicate an action which happened before another event ("S/he had verbed"). The perfect subjunctive screeve is
