Abstract: The paper deals with the study of a verb and one of its categories – the Voice. It is worth mentioning that the verb represents the spine of the grammar of any language. It is the most complex and capacious part of speech. The Voice is one of the essential and principal among the English verb categories characterized by distinct peculiarities, which should be known by the English language learners. Like the English language, the Voice in Georgian is one of the most complicated categories. The difficulty stands in the fact, that none of the Voices except for passive has any proper, specific markers. Moreover, one voice resembles the other with a number of signs. The difficulty of the verb is conditioned by its polypersonalism. In our study we aimed at finding out and analyzing some distinctions of the grammatical category of Voice in two different languages – the English and Georgian ones. According to our findings it becomes obvious that the problem of the Voice category is quite different in the English and Georgian languages. From this point, the acquisition of the Georgian Voice category is more difficult than the English one, though the latest is characterized by specific peculiarities as well. In addition, we can also mention that the Voice is mainly analyzed with its form in English and transitivity in Georgian; the essential thing is that the word order is of great importance while forming the Voice in English, but it lacks importance in the Georgian language; besides, the verb has only 10 forms for Passive Voice in English, whereas the Georgian Passive Voice has the forms of all screeves; English is an analytical language, but Georgian – synthetical; Mostly, English language Passive Voice verb is translated with the Active Voice form in Georgian.
Key words: the category of voice, passivisation, differentiation, transitivity, analytical, synthetical.
