==Georgian== In [[Georgian language|Georgian]], the vocative case is used to address the second-person singular and plural. For word roots that end with a consonant, the vocative case suffix is -''o'', and for the words that end with a vowel, it is -''v'' like in [[Old Georgian]], but for some words, it is considered archaic. For example, ''kats-'' is the root for the word "man". If one addresses someone with the word, it becomes ''kats'''o'''''. Adjectives are also declined in the vocative case. Just like nouns, consonant final stem adjectives take the suffix -''o'' in the vocative case, and the vowel final stems are not changed: :''lamazi kali'' "beautiful woman" (nominative case) :''lamaz'''o''' kal'''o'''!'' "beautiful woman!" (vocative case) In the second phrase, both the adjective and the noun are declined. The personal pronouns are also used in the vocative case. ''Shen'' "you" (singular) and ''tkven'' "you" (plural) in the vocative case become ''she!'' and ''tkve'', without the -''n''. Therefore, one could, for instance, say, with the declension of all of the elements: ''She lamazo kalo!'' "you beautiful woman!"
