Editing Relative clause (section)

====Georgian====
In [[Georgian language|Georgian]], there are two strategies for forming relative clauses. The first is similar to that of English or Latin: the modified noun is followed by a relativizer that inflects for its embedded case and may take a postposition. The relativized noun may be preceded by a determiner.

{{fs interlinear|indent=3
|(ის) კაცი, რომელიც პარკში წავიდა, გაზეთს კითხულობს
|(is) ḳac-i, romel-i-c ṗarḳ{{=}}ši c̣avida, gazet-s ḳitxulobs
|(that.NOM) man-NOM which-NOM-REL park{{=}}to he.went newspaper-DAT he.reads.it
|"the man who went to the park is reading the newspaper."}}

{{fs interlinear|indent=3
|(ის) ქალი, რომელსაც წერილს დავუწერ, თბილისში ცხოვრობს
|(is) kal-i, romel-sa-c c̣eril-s davuc̣er, tbilis{{=}}ši cxovrobs
|(that.NOM) woman-NOM which-DAT-REL letter-DAT I.will.write.it.to.her Tbilisi-in she.lives
|"the woman who I will write a letter to lives in [[Tbilisi]]."}}

{{fs interlinear|indent=3
|ნინომ (ის) სკამი, რომელზეც ვზივარ, იყიდა
|Nino-m (is) sḳam-i, romel{{=}}ze-c vzivar, iqida
|Nino-ERG (that.NOM) chair-NOM which{{=}}on-REL I.sit she.bought.it
|"Nino bought the chair I am sitting in."}}

A second, more colloquial, strategy is marked by the invariant particle რომ ''rom''. This particle is generally the second word of the clause, and since it does not decline, is often followed by the appropriately cased third-person pronoun to show the relativized noun's role in the embedded clause. A determiner precedes the relativized noun, which is also usually preceded by the clause as a whole.

{{fs interlinear|indent=3
|წერილს რომ მას დავუწერ, ის ქალი თბილისში ცხოვრობს
|c̣̣eril-s rom mas davuc̣̣er, is kal-i tbilis{{=}}ši cxovrobs
|letter-DAT REL 3S.DAT I.will.write.it.to.her that.NOM woman-NOM Tbilisi-in she.lives
|"the woman who I will write a letter to lives in [[Tbilisi]]."}}

{{fs interlinear|indent=3
|მე რომ მასზე ვზივარ, ის სკამი ნინომ იყიდა
|me rom mas{{=}}ze vzivar, is sḳam-i Nino-m iqida
|1S REL 3S.DAT{{=}}on I.sit that.NOM chair-NOM Nino-ERG she.bought.it
|"Nino bought the chair I am sitting in."}}

Such relative clauses may be internally headed. In such cases, the modified noun moves into the clause, taking the appropriate declension for its role therein (thus eliminating the need for the third person pronouns in the above examples), and leaves behind the determiner (which now functions as a pronoun) in the matrix clause.

|ქალს რომ წერილს დავუწერ, ის თბილისში ცხოვრობს
|kal-s rom c̣̣eril-s davuc̣̣er, is tbilis{{=}}ši cxovrobs
|woman-DAT REL letter-DAT I.will.write.it.to.her 3S.NOM Tbilisi-in she.lives
|"the woman who I will write a letter to lives in [[Tbilisi]]."}}
