The ancestors of Georgians are mentioned in the Bible, the legendary Colchis, where the Argonauts sailed, was located on the territory of Georgia. It seems to us that we know a lot about Georgians, but their history and culture keeps many mysteries.

1. Georgians call their country Sakartvelo. This toponym is translated as "the whole of Kartli" and goes back to the name of the region of the same name. The toponym "Georgia" goes back to the name "Gurjistan" (country of wolves), found in Arab-Persian sources.

The European name of Georgia "Georgia" is also compared with the Arab-Persian name associated with the Georgian cult of St. George. The golden sculpture of the saint rises on the central square of Tbilisi.

2. The number of Georgians in the world is more than 4 million.

3. Georgians were one of the first nations to adopt Christianity. According to one of the most common versions, this happened in 319. It is significant that, despite the global trend, the number of believers in Georgia is growing. Today, 80% of Georgians consider themselves Orthodox.

4. Georgian is an ancient written language. The oldest written monuments in the ancient Georgian language date back to the 5th century. These include a mosaic inscription from the first half of the 5th century near Jerusalem, as well as an inscription on Bolnisi Zion (60 km south of Tbilisi) from the end of the 5th century.

5. Georgians have a unique alphabet. There are various hypotheses about the prototype of Georgian writing in Kartvelistics. According to various theories, it is based on Aramaic, Greek or Coptic writing.

6. The self-name of Georgians is kartvelebi.

7. The first state mentioned by historians on the territory of Georgia is the Kingdom of Colchis. It was first mentioned in the middle of the 1st millennium BC. e. Greek authors Pindar and Aeschylus. It was to Colchis that the Argonauts sailed for the Golden Fleece.

8. There is no stress in the Georgian language, only the tone rises on a certain syllable. Also, there are no capital letters in Georgian, and the gender is determined by the context.

9. Joseph Stalin is deservedly considered the most famous Georgian in the world.

10. The Georgian language uses the vigesimal system for naming numbers. To pronounce a number between 20 and 100, you need to break it into twenty and name their number and remainder. For example: 33 is twenty-thirteen, and 78 is three-twenty-eighteen.

11. Words familiar to us from childhood in Georgia have different meanings to which we are accustomed. “Mama” in Georgian is dad, “deda” is mom, “bebia” is grandmother, “babua” or “papa” is grandfather.

12. In the Georgian language there is no sound “f”, and in borrowed words this sound is replaced by the sound “p” with a strong aspiration. The Russian Federation in Georgian will sound like: "Rusetis Pederacia".

13. According to economist Kennan Eric Scott of the Washington Institute, during the Soviet era, Georgians supplied 95% of tea and 97% of tobacco to Soviet shelves. The lion's share of citrus fruits (95%) also went to the regions of the USSR from Georgia.

14. On the territory of Georgia in 1991, they found the remains of Dmanisian hominids, originally called Homo georgicus. They are almost 2 million years old (1 million 770,000). They were given the names Zezva and Mzia.

15. It is customary to eat kebabs and khinkali in Georgia with your hands.

16. Despite the traditionally high level of homophobia in Georgia, the level of tactile contact between Georgian men is very high. While walking, they can hold hands, sitting in coffee shops - touch each other.

17. In everyday communication, Georgians use words that for some reason they consider Russian, although for us they will not always be clear. Georgians call slippers chusts, wallpapers - trellises, beans - lobio, everything that is worn above the waist is often called a T-shirt, and sneakers are called botas.

18. Georgians are rightfully proud of their wine. It began to be produced here 7,000 years ago, and today there are 500 varieties of cultivated grapes in Georgia. Every year the country hosts the Rtveli grape harvest festival.

19. Georgians are known for their hospitality. The guest in the house is more important than the host. Therefore, it is not customary to take off shoes in Georgian houses.

20. Georgians are known for their love of long toasts, but not everyone knows that it is not customary to make toasts when Georgians drink beer.

Well, write in the comments what words and phrases you are interested in and I will add here.
Here is the answer to the most sought-after phrase “how will it be in Georgian I love you”, “monkey” on the Internet: meshen mik varkhar, as in Georgian the word Please. Also, the phrase “designation in Georgian word dzamo” - Here, in my opinion, the word “dzamo” does not sound right. Should be "Dz mao"

I love you - me shen mik varkhar
monkey - maimuni
please - inet ( like when we say: Please take your key . There is no direct translation for this particle in Georgian. In different cases, it can be expressed in different ways).
Dz mao - Brother (“Dz ma” in Russian is brother, but in our case “Dz mao” is an appeal to a close or not close person. For example, “Gamarjoba dz mao” - “hello brother”)

I also wrote a small post for you and there you will find an archive that you can download

In Georgia, there are hospitable and friendly people who will always help. Arriving in this sunny country, you don’t have to worry that you will have communication problems - most of the locals speak Russian, and young people speak English.

National language

All information boards, signs and the like are written in Georgian because it is a public one. But do not worry - almost everywhere it is duplicated by English and Russian. This is especially pronounced in large tourist cities.

Local residents after 30 mostly speak and understand Russian. It is a little more difficult with the young population - they communicate either in Georgian or in English. Whatever the case, it will be easy for you to find a person who can answer questions in a language you understand.

Some facts

A lot of time and effort will go into learning this incredibly complex language. It is impossible for a tourist to understand him - it will generally seem to you that the locals swear - so he sounds specific. And all because of the five vowels that are pronounced dry. All other letters of the Georgian alphabet are consonants, there are 28 of them. All letters are the same in height. That is, capital letters or the first letter of the name are not highlighted.

Communication with locals

An interesting phenomenon often occurs in Georgia: Russians living here, officially working, understand Georgian, but do not speak it. And, in principle, they have no language barrier or communication problems.

Earlier Russian was studied in Georgian schools, so the majority of the local population understands it. Now the percentage of schools with the study of Russian has decreased significantly. But if you plan to move to Georgia, there will be no problems finding an educational institution with a language familiar to the baby.

In tourist cities knowledge of Russian and English- part of the work, since here tourists are the main income. Of course, there is a chance to meet misunderstanding, for example, on the part of some taxi drivers. Do not get upset and do not panic, look around - a random passer-by will not only help you, but also take you where you need to go.

Get ready for some public transport drivers will not understand you or fail to respond. Basically, this refers to visitors from small villages and villages. Russian, and even more so, English, they, of course, do not study there, and they do not have time for this.

Friendly Georgians

Georgians are known for their light and cheerful disposition, this very friendly people. Communicate with them is a pleasure. They will not only prompt, give useful advice, but also try to treat you with something.

In the area of ​​​​the sea station, you will definitely stumble upon taxi drivers who are ready to take you inexpensively to beautiful places not far from the city. All of them are polite and pleasant people, in whom there is not a drop of negativity.

Behave modestly and well-mannered, do not hesitate to communicate with the local population. Do it with a smile. You will be surprised by the warmth with which Georgians treat travelers.
