Question 1Listening Comprehension

In a Georgian listening passage, a speaker answers the phone with «გამარჯობა, გისმენთ». What is the speaker most likely doing?

  1. Inviting the listener to speak after a greeting Correct answer.
  2. Apologising for a wrong number
  3. Asking the caller to call back later
  4. Ending the conversation politely

Explanation

The formula გამარჯობა is the standard greeting, and გისმენთ literally means 'I am listening to you'. Together they form the conventional way of answering a telephone and inviting the caller to talk. Recognising this fixed phrase is essential because it signals the start of a phone exchange rather than its end.

Question 2Listening Comprehension

A radio announcement says «მატარებელი თბილისიდან ბათუმის მიმართულებით 10:30-ზე გავა». What information does the listener learn?

  1. The arrival time of a train from Batumi
  2. The price of a ticket to Tbilisi
  3. The departure time of a train to Batumi Correct answer.
  4. The platform number for a departing train

Explanation

The verb გავა means 'will depart', თბილისიდან marks the origin, and ბათუმის მიმართულებით means 'in the direction of Batumi'. The time 10:30-ზე is attached to the departure, so the announcement gives a departure time. Platform and fare information are simply not mentioned.

Question 3Listening Comprehension

During a listening task a shop assistant says «ბოდიშს გიხდით, ეს ზომა არ გვაქვს». What is the customer being told?

  1. The item is available in another colour
  2. The shop is closed for the day
  3. The requested size is out of stock Correct answer.
  4. The item can be reserved for tomorrow

Explanation

The apology ბოდიშს გიხდით frames bad news, and არ გვაქვს means 'we do not have'. The object is ეს ზომა, 'this size', so the assistant is saying the size is unavailable. Colour, closing time and reservations are not mentioned.

Question 4Listening Comprehension

A weather bulletin heard on Georgian radio states «ხვალ დღისით ჰაერის ტემპერატურა 28 გრადუსამდე აიწევს». What does the forecast predict?

  1. A daytime temperature rise to about 28 degrees Correct answer.
  2. Rainfall increasing during the night
  3. Frost expected before dawn
  4. Strong wind in the mountains

Explanation

ხვალ დღისით means 'tomorrow during the day', ჰაერის ტემპერატურა is 'air temperature', and აიწევს means 'will rise'. The figure 28 გრადუსამდე sets the level reached, so the forecast is a daytime warming to roughly 28 degrees.

Question 5Listening Comprehension

A doctor says to a patient: «დღეში სამჯერ ჭამის შემდეგ მიიღეთ ეს წამალი». What instruction is given?

  1. Take the medicine only when pain returns
  2. Stop taking the medicine after three days
  3. Take the medicine once a day before breakfast
  4. Take the medicine three times a day after meals Correct answer.

Explanation

დღეში სამჯერ means 'three times a day', ჭამის შემდეგ means 'after eating', and მიიღეთ is the polite imperative 'take'. The full instruction therefore specifies frequency and timing relative to meals. The other options reverse or contradict these markers.

Question 6Listening Comprehension

In a recorded dialogue one speaker says «უკაცრავად, კიდევ ერთხელ გაიმეორეთ, გთხოვთ». What is the speaker asking for?

  1. A change of topic
  2. A translation into another language
  3. A written copy of the text
  4. A repetition of what was said Correct answer.

Explanation

გაიმეორეთ is the imperative of 'to repeat', and კიდევ ერთხელ means 'once more'. The polite opener უკაცრავად and the closing გთხოვთ soften the request. This is a standard repair phrase used when part of a listening text was missed.

Question 7Listening Comprehension

A tour guide announces «ექსკურსია იწყება დილის ცხრა საათზე, შეკრება სასტუმროს შესასვლელთან». Where should tourists gather?

  1. At the bus station
  2. At the main square
  3. At the museum ticket office
  4. At the hotel entrance Correct answer.

Explanation

შეკრება means 'gathering', and სასტუმროს შესასვლელთან means 'at the entrance of the hotel'. The time is also given, but the question targets the meeting point. Recognising the postposition -თან attached to 'entrance' is the key listening cue.

Question 8Listening Comprehension

A speaker on a Georgian news broadcast says «მთავრობამ დღეს ახალი გადაწყვეტილება მიიღო». Which element of the news report does the listener identify?

  1. Who made a decision and when Correct answer.
  2. Why the decision was criticised
  3. Which minister resigned
  4. How much the decision will cost

Explanation

მთავრობამ is the subject 'the government', დღეს is the time 'today', and მიიღო agrees with გადაწყვეტილება, 'decision'. The sentence reports the agent and the timing of a decision without giving reasons, costs or resignations. Listening for the subject and time adverb is the core skill here.

Question 9Listening Comprehension

Two colleagues talk, and one says «თუ ავტობუსი დაგვიგვიანდა, ტაქსით წავიდეთ». What does the speaker propose?

  1. Taking a taxi if the bus is late Correct answer.
  2. Cancelling the trip entirely
  3. Waiting for the next bus regardless
  4. Leaving before the bus arrives

Explanation

The conditional clause თუ ავტობუსი დაგვიგვიანდა means 'if the bus is late for us', and ტაქსით წავიდეთ is a first-person plural suggestion 'let us go by taxi'. The proposal is therefore conditional on the bus being delayed. Recognising the conditional marker თუ is essential for this inference.

Question 10Listening Comprehension

A hotel receptionist says «თქვენი ნომერი მესამე სართულზეა, ლიფტი მარცხნივაა». What two facts does the guest learn?

  1. Restaurant hours and parking rules
  2. Wi-fi password and room price
  3. Check-out time and breakfast hour
  4. Room floor and lift location Correct answer.

Explanation

მესამე სართულზე means 'on the third floor' and describes the room, while ლიფტი მარცხნივაა means 'the lift is on the left'. These are the only two pieces of information in the utterance. The other options list services that are simply not mentioned.

Question 11Listening Comprehension

In a listening text a student says «მათემატიკის გამოცდა ორ კვირაშია, ამიტომ ყოველ საღამოს ვვარჯიშობ». Why does the student study every evening?

  1. Because the teacher requires daily homework
  2. Because the library closes early
  3. Because a maths exam is two weeks away Correct answer.
  4. Because a friend asked for help

Explanation

The clause ორ კვირაშია places the maths exam two weeks in the future, and ამიტომ marks the consequence 'therefore'. The stated reason for evening practice is thus the approaching exam. Causal connectors like ამიტომ are frequent listening targets.

Question 12Listening Comprehension

A market vendor says «ეს პომიდორი კილოგრამი ორი ლარია, ორ კილოს თუ აიღებთ, სამ ლარად მოგცემთ». What is the vendor offering?

  1. A fixed price with no negotiation
  2. A free sample of tomatoes
  3. A discount for buying two kilograms Correct answer.
  4. A higher price for larger quantities

Explanation

The base price is two lari per kilogram, but the conditional clause ორ კილოს თუ აიღებთ, 'if you take two kilograms', is followed by სამ ლარად მოგცემთ, 'I will give it to you for three lari'. That is a bulk discount of one lari. The listener must compare the unit price with the conditional offer.

Question 13Listening Comprehension

A voicemail message says «დღეს შეხვედრაზე ვერ მოვალ, თავს ცუდად ვგრძნობ. ხვალ დაგირეკავთ». What is the caller explaining?

  1. That they have lost the meeting documents
  2. That they cannot attend because they feel unwell Correct answer.
  3. That the meeting has been moved to tomorrow
  4. That they will arrive late to the meeting

Explanation

ვერ მოვალ means 'I will not be able to come', and the reason follows: თავს ცუდად ვგრძნობ, 'I feel unwell'. The promise ხვალ დაგირეკავთ concerns a phone call tomorrow, not a rescheduled meeting. Distinguishing the reason from the follow-up action is the listening task.

Question 14Listening Comprehension

A museum audio guide says «ეს ნახატი მეცხრამეტე საუკუნეშია შექმნილი და მხატვრის ავტოპორტრეტია». What does the guide identify?

  1. The painting's owner and sale price
  2. The painting's century and subject type Correct answer.
  3. The restoration date of the frame
  4. The artist's birthplace and death date

Explanation

მეცხრამეტე საუკუნეშია შექმნილი means 'was created in the nineteenth century', and ავტოპორტრეტია means 'is a self-portrait'. These give the period and the genre of the work. Owner, price, biography and restoration details are not provided.

Question 15Listening Comprehension

A speaker at a public meeting says «ჩვენ უნდა შევამციროთ ნარჩენები და მეტი ვიზრუნოთ გარემოზე». What is the main appeal?

  1. Lowering taxes for residents
  2. Reducing waste and caring for the environment Correct answer.
  3. Building more roads in the city
  4. Increasing industrial production

Explanation

შევამციროთ ნარჩენები means 'let us reduce waste', and მეტი ვიზრუნოთ გარემოზე means 'let us care more for the environment'. Both verbs are in the first-person plural optative, expressing a collective appeal. The other options introduce topics absent from the speech.

Question 16Listening Comprehension

A friend says on the phone «ხვალ საღამოს კინოში მივდივართ, თუ გინდა, შემოგვიერთდი». What is being offered?

  1. A request to buy cinema tickets
  2. A suggestion to change the film
  3. An invitation to join a cinema outing Correct answer.
  4. A warning that the cinema is full

Explanation

მივდივართ means 'we are going', and the conditional თუ გინდა, შემოგვიერთდი means 'if you want, join us'. This is an informal invitation with a time marker, tomorrow evening. The speaker is not asking for tickets or warning about crowds.

Question 17Listening Comprehension

In a listening passage a narrator says «მან ბოდიში მოიხადა, თუმცა პასუხისმგებლობა არ აიღო». What does the listener understand about the person?

  1. They refused to apologise at all
  2. They blamed someone else openly
  3. They apologised but did not accept responsibility Correct answer.
  4. They accepted full responsibility immediately

Explanation

ბოდიში მოიხადა means 'apologised', while the concessive თუმცა, 'however', introduces a contrast: პასუხისმგებლობა არ აიღო, 'did not take responsibility'. The concessive connector is the decisive cue for the intended meaning.

Question 18Listening Comprehension

A job interview recording includes «მე ხუთი წელი ვმუშაობდი გაყიდვების მენეჯერად და ვფლობ სამ უცხო ენას». Which qualification does the candidate state?

  1. Five years of teaching experience
  2. A driving licence and own car
  3. A university degree in economics
  4. Sales management experience and three languages Correct answer.

Explanation

ვმუშაობდი გაყიდვების მენეჯერად means 'I worked as a sales manager', and ვფლობ სამ უცხო ენას means 'I speak three foreign languages'. Both are explicit qualifications. Degree, teaching and driving details are not stated in the utterance.

Question 19Listening Comprehension

A recorded announcement says «გთხოვთ, მობილური ტელეფონები გამორთოთ, სპექტაკლის დროს ფოტოების გადაღება აკრძალულია». What two rules are stated?

  1. Buy programmes and keep receipts
  2. Leave coats in the cloakroom and be quiet
  3. Switch off phones and do not take photos Correct answer.
  4. Arrive early and sit in assigned seats

Explanation

გამორთოთ means 'switch off' and applies to mobile phones, while აკრძალულია means 'is forbidden' and refers to taking photographs during the performance. These are the two prohibitions in the announcement. The other options describe procedures not mentioned.

Question 20Listening Comprehension

A speaker in a debate says «თუ ეს კანონი მიღებულ იქნა, მცირე ბიზნესი უფრო მეტ გადასახადს გადაიხდის». What consequence is predicted?

  1. The law will be rejected by parliament
  2. Small businesses will close immediately
  3. Small businesses will pay more tax Correct answer.
  4. Taxes will be reduced for everyone

Explanation

The conditional clause თუ ეს კანონი მიღებულ იქნა means 'if this law is adopted', and the main clause states უფრო მეტ გადასახადს გადაიხდის, 'will pay more tax'. The prediction concerns small business taxation. The listener must separate the condition from the predicted outcome.

Question 21Listening Comprehension

A narrator says «მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ ძლიერი წვიმა იყო, ექსკურსია არ გაუქმებულა». What happened?

  1. The rain stopped before the excursion began
  2. The excursion went ahead despite heavy rain Correct answer.
  3. The excursion was postponed to the next day
  4. The excursion was cancelled because of rain

Explanation

მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ introduces a concessive clause meaning 'despite the fact that', followed by ძლიერი წვიმა იყო, 'there was heavy rain'. The main clause არ გაუქმებულა means 'was not cancelled', so the trip proceeded. Recognising concessive constructions is a higher-level listening skill.

Question 22Listening Comprehension

In a radio interview the guest says «მე არ ვამბობ, რომ ეს გადაწყვეტილება სრულყოფილია, მაგრამ ალტერნატივა არ არსებობდა». What is the guest's position?

  1. The decision should be reversed immediately
  2. The decision was made without any discussion
  3. The decision was perfect in every respect
  4. The decision was imperfect but unavoidable Correct answer.

Explanation

The guest denies saying the decision is perfect, using არ ვამბობ, რომ, then contrasts with მაგრამ, 'but', and states ალტერნატივა არ არსებობდა, 'there was no alternative'. The stance is thus qualified support: flawed but necessary. This requires tracking negation plus contrast within one turn.

Question 23Listening Comprehension

A lecturer says «მონაცემები აჩვენებს, რომ ტურისტების რაოდენობა გაიზარდა, თუმცა შემოსავალი თითქმის არ შეცვლილა». What contrast does the lecturer draw?

  1. Fewer tourists arrived and revenue fell
  2. Revenue rose while tourist numbers fell
  3. Tourist numbers and revenue rose equally
  4. More tourists arrived but revenue barely changed Correct answer.

Explanation

გაიზარდა means 'increased' and refers to the number of tourists, while the concessive თუმცა introduces შემოსავალი თითქმის არ შეცვილა, 'revenue barely changed'. The point of the sentence is precisely this divergence between volume and income.

Question 24Listening Comprehension

A news report states «მიუხედავად ხელისუფლების განცხადებისა, პროტესტი გრძელდება და მონაწილეთა რიცხვი იზრდება». What does the report emphasise?

  1. The protest continues and is growing despite an official statement Correct answer.
  2. The authorities joined the protest
  3. The number of participants is falling steadily
  4. The protest has ended after an official statement

Explanation

მიუხედავად ხელისუფლების განცხადებისა means 'despite the authorities' statement', and the main clause says the protest continues and the number of participants is growing. The concessive opener signals that the official statement did not stop the protest. The verb იზრდება, 'increases', confirms the trend.

Question 25Listening Comprehension

A railway announcement says: «მატარებელი თბილისიდან ბათუმის მიმართულებით 18:40-ზე გავა, ბილეთების გაყიდვა ხდება მეორე სართულზე». What information does the announcement give about tickets?

  1. They are sold on the second floor Correct answer.
  2. They are sold on the train
  3. They are sold near the platform exit
  4. They can only be bought online

Explanation

The announcement states the departure time and then says ticket sales take place on the second floor («მეორე სართულზე»). The listener must connect the locative phrase to the noun «ბილეთების გაყიდვა» (ticket sales). Nothing is said about online purchase or buying on board.

Question 26Listening Comprehension

A recorded message says: «გამარჯობათ, ეს არის სტომატოლოგიური კლინიკა. თქვენი ვიზიტი ოთხშაბათიდან ხუთშაბათზე გადაიტანეს, იმავე დროს». What change is being reported?

  1. The clinic address changed
  2. The day of the appointment changed Correct answer.
  3. The doctor changed
  4. The price of treatment changed

Explanation

The verb «გადაიტანეს» with «ოთხშაბათიდან ხუთშაბათზე» means the appointment was moved from Wednesday to Thursday. The phrase «იმავე დროს» confirms the hour stayed the same, so only the day changed. No other detail of the visit is altered in the message.

Question 27Listening Comprehension

In a listening passage a neighbour says: «ლიფტი ორი დღეა არ მუშაობს, ამიტომ მეხუთე სართულზე ფეხით ავდივარ». What is the speaker describing?

  1. A temporary problem with the building Correct answer.
  2. A delay in the delivery of furniture
  3. A complaint about noisy neighbours
  4. A permanent move to a new flat

Explanation

The speaker reports that the lift has not worked for two days and that this forces a walk up to the fifth floor. The time expression «ორი დღეა» signals a temporary situation in the building. The other options introduce topics absent from the text.

Question 28Listening Comprehension

A guide says: «ეს ტაძარი მეათე საუკუნეში აშენდა, მაგრამ დღევანდელი შენობა მეოცე საუკუნის რესტავრაციის შედეგია». What does the guide clarify?

  1. The temple was moved to a new site
  2. The temple was built entirely in the twentieth century
  3. The temple has never been restored
  4. The age of the original building differs from the present structure Correct answer.

Explanation

The guide distinguishes between the tenth-century construction and the twentieth-century restoration that produced today's building. The contrastive «მაგრამ» marks this difference as the key point. Listeners must not confuse the date of origin with the date of the visible structure.

Question 29Listening Comprehension

A caller says: «ვერ მოვახერხე ხელშეკრულების ხელმოწერა, რადგან იურისტი ავად იყო. ორშაბათს კვლავ ვცდით». What reason is given for the delay?

  1. The client changed the terms
  2. The documents were lost
  3. The office was closed for a holiday
  4. A specialist was unavailable Correct answer.

Explanation

The clause «რადგან იურისტი ავად იყო» gives the cause: the lawyer was ill, so the contract could not be signed. The speaker then proposes trying again on Monday. The delay therefore stems from a person's absence, not from lost papers or changed conditions.

Question 30Listening Comprehension

A radio host says: «სანამ ახალ ტექნიკას იყიდით, შეამოწმეთ, შეიძლება ძველი მოწყობილობის შეკეთება უფრო იაფი იყოს». What advice is being given?

  1. Avoid using technical devices at home
  2. Compare repair costs before buying new equipment Correct answer.
  3. Buy new equipment as soon as possible
  4. Throw away old devices immediately

Explanation

The host advises checking whether repairing the old device may be cheaper before purchasing new equipment. The structure «სანამ ... შეამოწმეთ» frames the check as a step preceding the purchase. The point is cost comparison, not rejection of technology.

Question 31Listening Comprehension

A speaker at a community meeting says: «ჩვენს უბანში საბავშვო მოედანი არ არის, ამიტომ ბავშვები ქუჩაში თამაშობენ. ეს საშიშია». What problem is being raised?

  1. The lack of a safe play area for children Correct answer.
  2. The shortage of parking spaces
  3. The high cost of building materials
  4. The noise from street traffic at night

Explanation

The speaker states there is no children's playground in the neighbourhood, so children play in the street, which is dangerous. The causal «ამიტომ» links the missing facility to the risk. The complaint is therefore about the absence of a safe place to play.

Question 32Listening Comprehension

In a dialogue one person says: «თუ ხვალ დილით გავალთ, გზაზე ნაკლები მანქანა იქნება და უფრო სწრაფად ჩავალთ». What is the speaker's argument?

  1. The trip should be cancelled
  2. The road is closed in the morning
  3. An early departure will reduce travel time Correct answer.
  4. A later departure is more comfortable

Explanation

The conditional «თუ ხვალ დილით გავალთ» introduces the reason: less traffic means arriving faster. The comparative «უფრო სწრაფად» states the intended benefit. The speaker is recommending an early start, not cancelling or delaying the trip.

Question 33Listening Comprehension

A lecturer says: «კვლევამ აჩვენა, რომ სტუდენტები, რომლებიც ლექციებს უსმენენ და ერთდროულად ინიშნავენ, მასალას უკეთ იმახსოვრებენ». What does the research finding concern?

  1. The number of students in a class
  2. The length of university lectures
  3. The effect of note-taking during lectures on memory Correct answer.
  4. The cost of study materials

Explanation

The sentence reports that students who listen to lectures and take notes at the same time remember the material better. The relative clause «რომლებიც ... ინიშნავენ» identifies the behaviour being studied. The finding links note-taking to improved retention.

Question 34Listening Comprehension

A news item says: «მერმა განაცხადა, რომ ახალი სკოლა ერთ წელიწადში გაიხსნება, თუმცა მშენებლობა ჯერ არ დაწყებულა». What does the report suggest?

  1. The school has already opened
  2. Construction finished ahead of schedule
  3. The mayor cancelled the project
  4. The announced opening date may be unrealistic Correct answer.

Explanation

The mayor promises the school will open within a year, but the concessive «თუმცა» adds that construction has not yet begun. The contrast implies doubt about the timetable. Listeners must infer the scepticism rather than take the promise at face value.

Question 35Listening Comprehension

A customer says on the phone: «შეკვეთა ორი კვირის წინ გავაკეთე, მაგრამ ჯერ არ მიმიღია. გთხოვთ, დააზუსტოთ, სად არის». What is the purpose of the call?

  1. To complain about a wrong price
  2. To cancel a purchase
  3. To ask about a delayed order Correct answer.
  4. To request a refund for a damaged item

Explanation

The customer ordered two weeks earlier, has not received anything and asks the company to clarify where the order is. The request «დააზუსტოთ, სად არის» defines the aim of the call as tracing the shipment. Cancellation, pricing and damage are not mentioned.

Question 36Listening Comprehension

A podcast host says: «ბევრი ფიქრობს, რომ უცხო ენის სწავლა მხოლოდ ნიჭზეა დამოკიდებული, სინამდვილეში კი რეგულარული ვარჯიში უფრო მნიშვნელოვანია». What view does the host express?

  1. Talent is the only factor in language learning
  2. Adults cannot learn foreign languages
  3. Grammar study should be avoided
  4. Regular practice matters more than talent Correct answer.

Explanation

The host contrasts the popular belief that language learning depends only on talent with the claim that regular practice is more important. The marker «სინამდვილეში» signals the speaker's own position. The message therefore elevates practice above innate ability.

Question 37Listening Comprehension

A narrator says: «მან ბილეთი დროზე იყიდა, მაგრამ მატარებელი ორი საათით დაიგვიანა და შეხვედრაზე ვერ მოხვდა». What caused the missed meeting?

  1. The ticket was bought too late
  2. The train arrived late Correct answer.
  3. The traveller went to the wrong station
  4. The meeting was moved earlier

Explanation

The narrator states the ticket was bought in time, but the train was delayed by two hours, so the traveller could not reach the meeting. The «მაგრამ» separates the traveller's correct action from the external cause. Responsibility for the miss lies with the delay.

Question 38Listening Comprehension

In a job-interview recording the candidate says: «მე ექვსი წელი ვმუშაობდი ლოჯისტიკაში და ვხელმძღვანელობდი ხუთკაციან გუნდს». Which experience does the candidate highlight?

  1. Opening a private transport company
  2. Working as a driver for six months
  3. Studying logistics at university
  4. Managing a small team in logistics Correct answer.

Explanation

The candidate reports six years in logistics and leading a team of five people. The verb «ვხელმძღვანელობდი» expresses managerial responsibility, and «ხუთკაციანი გუნდი» specifies the team size. The highlighted experience is therefore team leadership in the logistics field.

Question 39Listening Comprehension

A recorded announcement says: «სპექტაკლის დაწყებამდე გთხოვთ გამორთოთ მობილური ტელეფონები; დარბაზში საკვების შეტანა დაუშვებელია». Which two rules are stated?

  1. Tickets checked at the door and seats assigned
  2. Phones off and no food in the hall Correct answer.
  3. No late entry and no photography
  4. Silence during the interval and no drinks

Explanation

The announcement contains two prohibitions: switching off mobile phones before the performance and not bringing food into the hall. The imperative «გამორთოთ» and the predicative «დაუშვებელია» carry the rules. Other common theatre rules are not part of this text.

Question 40Listening Comprehension

A debater says: «თუ ეს რეგულაცია ძალაში შევა, პატარა კომპანიები დამატებით ხარჯებს გაიღებენ, თუმცა მომხმარებელი უფრო უსაფრთხო პროდუქტს მიიღებს». How does the speaker frame the proposal?

  1. As a temporary rule for one year
  2. As a trade-off between business costs and consumer safety Correct answer.
  3. As a measure with no disadvantages
  4. As a plan supported only by small companies

Explanation

The speaker presents two consequences joined by «თუმცა»: extra costs for small firms and safer products for consumers. This structure sets up a trade-off rather than a one-sided judgement. The speaker neither fully rejects nor fully endorses the regulation.

Question 41Reading Comprehension

Read this Georgian sentence: „ნინომ წიგნი მაგიდაზე დადო და შემდეგ ოთახიდან გავიდა.“ What does the second clause tell us about the order of events?

  1. The leaving happened but the placing did not occur.
  2. The leaving happened after the book was placed on the table. Correct answer.
  3. The leaving happened before the book was placed.
  4. The two actions happened at exactly the same moment.

Explanation

The conjunction „და შემდეგ“ ("and then") explicitly marks sequence, so the second action follows the first in time. The aorist forms „დადო“ and „გავიდა“ present completed actions, and the sequencing word fixes their order. Nothing in the sentence suggests simultaneity or that one action failed to happen.

Question 42Reading Comprehension

In a Georgian text, the sentence „მან თქვა, რომ ხვალ ჩამოვა“ contains the quoted idea in indirect form. What does the particle „რომ“ do here?

  1. It converts the reported clause into a direct quotation.
  2. It marks the reported clause as a question.
  3. It negates the verb of the reported clause.
  4. It introduces the reported clause that complements the verb of saying. Correct answer.

Explanation

In Georgian, „რომ“ is the standard complementizer used after verbs of saying, thinking, or knowing to introduce a subordinate content clause. It does not carry negation, interrogation, or quotation marking on its own. The clause „ხვალ ჩამოვა“ is simply the content of what was said.

Question 43Reading Comprehension

A Georgian recipe lists ingredients in the genitive: „ერთი ჭიქა ფქვილის, ორი კვერცხის, ნახევარი ჭიქა შაქრის“. What grammatical function does the genitive serve in this list?

  1. It marks the quantity or measure that the substance fills. Correct answer.
  2. It marks the ingredients as locations where cooking occurs.
  3. It marks the substance as the subject of the recipe.
  4. It marks the ingredients as direct objects of an omitted verb.

Explanation

In Georgian measure expressions, the quantified substance typically appears in the genitive after the unit of measure, as in „ჭიქა ფქვილის“ ("a cup of flour"). The genitive here encodes the whole that the quantity is taken from. It does not signal subjecthood, direct objecthood, or location.

Question 44Reading Comprehension

Read the sign: „შესვლა აკრძალულია“. What does the sign prohibit?

  1. Entering the area Correct answer.
  2. Taking photographs
  3. Parking vehicles
  4. Speaking loudly

Explanation

„შესვლა“ is the verbal noun meaning "entering", and „აკრძალულია“ means "is forbidden". Together they form the standard prohibition sign meaning "no entry". None of the other activities appears in the wording.

Question 45Reading Comprehension

In the sentence „მე მიყვარს ქართული ლიტერატურა“, what is the grammatical role of „მე“?

  1. It is the grammatical subject in the nominative case.
  2. It is an adverbial modifier of manner.
  3. It is the direct object of the verb.
  4. It is the logical experiencer in a dative-subject construction. Correct answer.

Explanation

Verbs of liking in Georgian belong to the indirect (dative) construction class: the experiencer appears in the dative and the stimulus in the nominative, while the verb agrees with the stimulus. The pronoun „მე“ here is the dative form of the first-person pronoun, functioning as the experiencer. It is therefore not a nominative subject, object, or adverb.

Question 46Reading Comprehension

A Georgian news article says: „მთავრობამ ახალი კანონპროექტი დაამტკიცა“. Which case is „მთავრობამ“ in, and why?

  1. Genitive, because it modifies the following noun.
  2. Nominative, because it is the subject of the sentence.
  3. Ergative, because the verb is in the aorist and the subject is the agent of a transitive verb. Correct answer.
  4. Dative, because it is the indirect object.

Explanation

In the aorist series, transitive verbs take an ergative subject marked by the suffix „-მა“. The verb „დაამტკიცა“ is transitive and in the aorist, so its agent appears in the ergative. This is the standard split-ergative pattern of Georgian.

Question 47Reading Comprehension

Read the dialogue: „- სად მიდიხარ? - სამსახურში.“ What does the answer mean?

  1. To work Correct answer.
  2. From work
  3. About work
  4. At work

Explanation

The postpositional suffix „-ში“ marks direction or location inside, and with motion verbs it indicates the destination. „სამსახურში“ therefore answers "where to?" as "to work". The other readings would require different postpositions or cases.

Question 48Reading Comprehension

Which Georgian sentence correctly expresses "I don't have time" using the standard possessive construction?

  1. დრო არ მაქვს. Correct answer.
  2. მე არ მაქვს დროის.
  3. დროს არ მყავს.
  4. დრო არ არის ჩემი.

Explanation

Possession in Georgian is expressed with the verb „მაქვს“ ("I have"), and negation is placed before it with „არ“. The possessed noun „დრო“ stands in the nominative. The resulting form is „დრო არ მაქვს“.

Question 49Reading Comprehension

In a Georgian text, the word „თუმცა“ appears at the start of a clause. What discourse relation does it signal?

  1. Concession or contrast with the preceding clause Correct answer.
  2. Addition of a similar point
  3. A causal explanation of the preceding clause
  4. A temporal sequence of events

Explanation

„თუმცა“ functions like English "although" or "however", introducing a clause that contrasts with or concedes the previous statement. It does not add a parallel point, give a cause, or order events in time. Recognizing it helps track an author's argumentative structure.

Question 50Reading Comprehension

Read this sentence: „ბავშვები, რომლებიც ეზოში თამაშობდნენ, დედებმა სახლში დაუძახეს.“ Who called whom?

  1. The children called the mothers.
  2. The mothers called each other.
  3. The mothers called the children. Correct answer.
  4. The children called each other.

Explanation

The relative clause „რომლებიც ეზოში თამაშობდნენ“ modifies „ბავშვები“, identifying the children as those playing in the yard. The finite verb „დაუძახეს“ is plural transitive with the mothers as ergative agent and the children as object. Therefore the mothers summoned the children.
