lol 'mama' is father, 'deda' is mother! boy is "bitchi"!!! and son?? vazhishivli?? but we can actually recognize some words in Georgian, the names of the days of the week seem to be related to "sabbath", there are also pomidori (Italian pomidoro), ghvino (wine) and shaqari (sugar) a very distant and complex language, with a nice script

[@nugzarmikeladze]

my boy/my girl or my child is more used in daily speech than my son/daughter.

[@princed8534]

the thing is Georgian is an ancient and a very rich language so the same meaning can be expressed through numerous words. for example son vazhishvili, has simpler D'ze synonym, same with daughter Qalishvili or Asuli. etc.

[@enta2]

We hardly ever use the words like son or daughter. We have a special gender-neutral word for it "shvili" which translates as created+borned one. Vazhishivli we yous for virgin boy and kalishvili for a virgin girl

[@stronggs1459]

Wine actually spread from Georgian to another language because the first wine appeared in Georgia 8000 years ago. And then the Georgians called it "wine", then it is found in other languages, for example in Russian "vino" and so on, the word "ღ" is not in any alphabet.

[@lestatdelioncourt5550]

The flag is similar to the English flag because both countries have St George as a patron saint, which is a common saint to every orthodox church. The flag is technically the flag of St. George. Other christian countries with the cross but with different colours are: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Greece. St George was indeed a very important figure.

And we have some letters which is almost impossible for foreigners to pronounce: ჭ(TCH), წ(ts) and ყ(kh but more throat-y sound). Also: ტ( firm T), ხ(kh as if you're coughing), კ( firm K), პ(firm P), ც (ts but more similar to ს(S) than to წ(ts).

[@kaatalaster]

but, bat we dont use letter F ^^

[@sandro.sarukhanishvili]

there are many comments about consonants of the Georgian language, but the thing is that Georgian consonant clusters are a single sound for instance when the vlogger said MRGLOVANI, she pronounced M separately from R (like M-rglovani) but in reality, MR is one sound, we combine them and before M sound is ended, soft R is pronounced and then quickly gl followed.

[@jikiajikia]

well at least for me "მრგლოვანი" is four syllables მჷრ-გლო-ვა-ნი, phonetically [mə̆ɾɡɫo̞vɐ̝ˈni] with a short epethentic schwa vowel between მ and რ.

Thank you. The map is a little incorrect. The area of Svan language is not such wide. Racha and Lechkhumi speak Georgian, not Svan. They probably were the part of Svan area in past, but from the XV century the people of Racha-Lechkhumi switched to Georgian (Kartuli).

This is way over the heads of the people desperately trying to learn Georgian right now because they suddenly had to move there.

Georgian is in the Agglutinative language family such as Turkish, Hungarian, Basque, Dravidian, Japanese and Korean.

[@George-jz9fk]

Japanese and Korean are a seperate language family and Turkish is turkic but there is a theory of the altai languages that houses Turkic Japanese Korean

[@svetskodrvo-povratakprirod5815]

No! That's not language family, that's language type. Georgian is thr part of Kartvelian languages, Turkish is the part of Turkic languages, Hungarian is Uralic language, Basque is completly isolated languages and it doesn't have language family; Dravidian is a language family and has many languages in it like (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada); Japanese is in Japonic language family and Korean is a language isolate.

I came here because I saw a comment in Mongolian language that “Why does Mongolian sound like Georgian?” So I think yes they sound alike because both have too much khhh sound.

[@jikiajikia]

Two languages can't sound alike because of one sound, Arabic too has the kh sound ( phonetically [x~χ] depending on dialect) and yet it sounds nothing like Georgian, the intonation and phonemic inventory is completely different. Also unlike Georgian, many dialects of Arabic forbid word-initial consonant clusters and break it up with epethentic vowels.
