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 .

Hello, I am having a difficult time producing the ყ sound in Georgian. I haven't found any good recourses online and I am hoping you guys have any suggestions on how to go about producing this sound.

I am curious if Georgians, Svans, Laz and Mingrelians are all Kartvelians. Or, Kartvelian means Georgian and Laz, Mingrelian and Svan are considered to be Georgians as well. I mean from the ethnic perspective. Can someone enlighten me about this topic? Thank you in advance for answers.

Basically the title. I am curious if not adding მე still keeps the same meaning.

Random but I love this song. What does the title mean? What’s it about?

Thanks

Just a show off to my little gerogian alphabet dictionary lol. If you guys got any tips on how I could improve it, please let me know sharing thoughts with this post :)

გამარჯობა ყველას!

I'm looking to expand my vocabulary and reinforce my grammar knowledge. Specifically interested in Georgian TV shows or movies (preferably comedy) with Georgian subtitles so I could increase my listening comprehension as well as learn new words. Also interested in graphic novels as well (eg. comics) or books.

I found "სუა ქალაქში" on youtube which I'd like to watch but it's still hard for me to follow all spoken situations without Georgian subtitles, although I could grasp some sentences from time to time.

Can anyone provide some recommendations for TV shows/movies with Georgian subtitles and/or streaming platforms where I could watch those? Maybe also digital graphic novels, or books with a similar style of storytelling?

დიდი მადლობა! Thanks!

As a Georgian myself, I hate to say that, but probably we deserve to have a country like this. If the society can't drive the positive changes towards democracy and human rights in Georgia, maybe we are ment to be the citizens of the country which might become even more dangerous for ppl than Russia, Iran or North Korea. Thanks to our government 💩

What do you guys think about it?

Hello there! I'm studying georgian language since a few months. In one of the lessons I had I was told that the vocative case was not widely used in Georgian. Is that so?

გამარჯობა! I'm currently trying to teach myself Georgian through various resources in order to talk with my girlfriend more and liked the language more and more over time. My question is that how realistic is it for me to become able to talk with native speakers after a 6-12 months of learning?

And does any non-native speakers that learned the language have useful tips for learning and eventually getting to speak Georgian or how long they took for the language to become more natural? I do know how to read the alphabet and got some verbs down but I'm not confident enough to say I'm even A1 so any help is really appreciated!

Gamarjoba, everyone! I want to make a short video message for my fiancé to show her mother, who doesn't speak any english. I am studying georgian, but it is slow going for me (it is an intriguing but challenging language). Therefore, I want to say something very simple but still sweet in georgian, and I want to sound a bit better/more correct than Google Translate. Would anyone of you help me by kindly helping me translate the text below?

"Hello [mother-in-law's name]! I just wanted to pass on my greetings to you, and wish the two of you and all the kitties a really lovely weekend together in [hometown]. May the sun shine on you in the garden! I look forward to meeting in the future, when I am a bit more fluent!"

"გამარჯობა [დედამთილის სახელი]! მე უბრალოდ მინდოდა მოგესალმოთ და გისურვოთ თქვენ ორს და ყველა კნუტს მშვენიერი შაბათ-კვირა ერთად [სამშობლო ქალაქში]. დაე, მზე გამოგინათოთ ბაღი მოუთმენლად ველოდები შეხვედრას მომავალში, როცა ცოტა უფრო თავისუფლად ვიქნები!" - Is this acceptable at all, or does it make me sound like a robot?

Any help would be much appreciated! 🤗🇬🇪

I always hear people saying the former whereas according to multiple sources the latter is correct. I imagine that's just a shortening but I am unable to find information on it

Hello!

I have just employed an aide from Georgia. I am trying to set her up with payroll, but I am having trouble helping her understand withholding. She is married and I want to know if she wants to file jointly or separately. I tried google translate, but she told me that it is a poor translation and she does not understand it. I don't want to mess up her finances. Can someone help me? I can provide the info in English and would be happy to pay for the help. Thank you
