One thing I like about Georgian folk music is I occasionally hear vocalizations of “rim-diri-dim-diri-dirabo” or “raninaaa-ida-bo” and I absolutely love it. It’s mostly these specific syllables that I come across. Is there a word for these vocalizations in music, or is it just like an English “lalala, doo-doo-doo” sort of thing that have no true meanings or a descriptive word to refer them?

I feel it’s one of the few languages that have unique vocalizations in music. I know it’s a very weird question, but tiny things like this intrigue me. მადლობა!

Firstly, I am not racist or nationalist or something like that. I seen this word in Twitter and it made me wonder if it is true or not. I checked it on translate too and it also says it is true. Thanks for the answers.

I was talking to a Georgian friend(via discord) and he used a single letter for two letters, can letters change/be used for other letters like this in Georgian?

Hi everyone, I'm just starting my Georgian learning journey and have heard that watching "Shua Qalaqshi" is great for beginners.

I've only managed to find one episode on YouTube with English subtitles so far. Does anyone know where I can stream the full series with subtitles? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'm a random foreigner who found this one song on YouTube called კასლეთილა I really love the sound of it and would love to also understand what it's about, but unfortunately couldn't find any translation anywhere Thank you in advance:)

I know that letters have names in Georgian, but ანიშინიშინი does not sound right.

Hey, so does anyone know of any books or sites that teach Georgian. It's almost impossible to find something legit and affordable. I'd appreciate any help! Thank you

დარღვევისთვისო ვითომ ისევ, როგორც პირველად ქნეს. რა სისულელეა!

ვიღაც კონკრეტულად მიზანდასახულად ებრძვის ამ პატარა ჯგუფებს რომლებიც r/rustaveli -ბაზაზე შეიქმნა.

Basically the title. I''m currently learning Georgian by myself and came across these two expressions meaning something like "you're welcome". My question would be is there a difference in meaning or difference in use cases (for example formal or informal setting)? დიდი მადლობა!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for resources or a very short book that explains all Georgian grammar in less than 50 pages. Like a mini pocket reference book. Is there something like that? Thank you

The historian Donald Rayfield wrote this:

Darejan then married a self-proclaimed Bagratid, Vakhtang Chuchuniashvili, known to the populace as Chuchunia (‘pipsqueak’); the couple proclaimed themselves king and queen.

Can anyone confirm the translation 'pipsqueak' is correct, and elaborate on its connotation?

ჩუჩუნია or ჭუჭუნია?

Hello. I listened to this song Shemodzakhili by Basiani Ensemble. What is the song about? I'd be very happy if you could post the lyrics in English or Georgian.

For example, when saying the alphabet, when spelling out loud a word... Thanks

I very much like the songs of პრიზი band but there are no lyrics of it on the internet sadly. Can someone please transcribe this song for me? I would very much appreciate. (I want to learn Georgian with help of this song.)

Especially asking non-native speakers/ learners. I’m doing a project on the Georgian language and culture and I wonder in what font does Georgian script look the most beautiful and interesting to you?

Could you please translate it for me, I couldn't find it on the internet. Chat GPS says it is harvest, but I have some doubts.

It is about a running gag concerning ჟირაფი ჟოზე (josé the giraffe). I just want a short speach in georgian, talking about how this gracious giraffe is blessing the marriage, if you can make it as childish but as formal as possible, it would be absolutly perfect!

And if i can have an odio version so i can practice how to prononce it correcly, thanks in advance!

I have a photo of some script. I do not speak Kartvelian. Can someone help me translate? Thank you!

I'm interested in the translation of the Greek word "πορνεία" (porneia) in the oldest Georgian Bible versions. Does anyone know which Georgian word was used for this translation?

Additionally, I'm curious about the etymology of the word used in Georgian and whether it had a similar semantic shift as the Slavic word "блуд" (blud). Originally, "блуд" meant delusion, deception, or going astray but later came to mean fornication. Did the Georgian term follow a similar pattern of change?

Any insights into this would be highly appreciated!

Are there any good museums surrounding georgian history in the US?

Hi all, I was wondering if the different dialects of Georgian have phonetic differences. According to some websites there are 12 dialects in Georgia, is that so? Thank you very much .
