• VForm: The functions of causative indicate that a subject either causes someone or something else to do or be something or causes a change in state of a non-volitional event. Georgian morphosyntactic apparatus changes verbs into their causative forms.
• Tense: The verbal inflectional paradigm in Modern Georgian consists of twelve screeves grouped in three TAM series, which indicate tense, aspect and mood based on similar morphological formation, case marking and agreement between subject and objects. TAM series distinguish present, imperfect, present subjunctive, future, future conditional, future subjunctive, aorist, aorist subjunctive, aorist imperative, perfect, pluperfect and perfect subjunctive.
• Voice: Autoactive describes the relationship between the state that the verb expresses and the participants identified by its arguments. Inactive indicates that the subject is an inactive participant of an intransitive verb. Mediopassive gathers the meanings of both the middle voice and the passive voice.
