"რა გაეწყობა" means something like "what can we do", "there is nothing we can do". ვერაფერი ვერ გავაწყვე - I couldn't manage anything; I couldn't sort anything out. გაწყობა also means "to set/set up" (the table, the christmas tree etc).

Oh, yeah. Now I remember, they explain that word multiple times in the book...Guess I
should write that down. And I thought that saying was something they just made up. It's so silly... By the way, Murdoc, I really appreciate your help. It's great to have a native speaker on these forums who checks them often! So dzalian didi madloba!! :) Edited by zecchino1991 on 22 March 2013 at 2:18am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I read most of chapter 12 in Aronson. It's pretty easy, thank God, and it has a lot of
examples. I also read a tiny bit of dialogue 9 in ACC. Now I am just going to watch some Georgian tv. I haven't been feeling so great lately (not physically), so I'm not really in the mood for studying. I just did today because a) I'm bored, and b) I'm procrastinating, haha. I want to write something in Georgian. So here goes nothing...: არ მინდა აქ ყოფნა. სადმე სხვაგან მინდა ყოფნა, სადმე აქედან შორს. იქნებ საქართველოში? ჰაჰა. არ ვიცი, რაც კი ვიცი, აქ კმაყოფილი აღარ ვარ. ამ უნივერსიტეტში სწავლა არ მიყვარს. რაღაც ახალი მინდა გავაკეთო. ეს ადგილი ძალიან მიყვარს, ლოს ანჯელესი ძალიან მომწონს, მაგრამ ახალ ადგილში უნდა წავიდე, იმიტომ რომ ცხოვრობაში ცვლილება მინდა. ჩემი ცხოვრობა ძალიან კარგია, მაგრამ პირადი პრობლემა მაქვს. სხვა ადგილში ცხოვრობაზე უნდა ვიფიქრო, იმიტომ რომ რადიკალური ცვლილება მჭირდება. ჩემი ოჯახი ახლა სან ფრანცისკოშია, და მეც იქ მინდა ყოფნა. სამწუხაროდ, ახლავე არ შემიძლია წასვლა, იმიტომ რომ ამ კვირას ლექციები მაქვს. ხუთშაბათს მეც სან ფრანცისკოში წავალ და ძალიან მადლობელი ვარ, მაგრამ მაინც უნივერსიტეტში საერთოდ არ მინდა წასვლა. იქ ვინმე არის, ვინც მისი ნახვა არ მინდა...ახლა ძალიან ვწუხვარ, მაგრამ საბოლოოდ ყველაფერი კარგად იქნება. :) Wow, that was way too long. I don't know how to write this without sounding like I'm sad about an ex or something silly like that. That's not what I'm talking about, it's just a long a story, and my Georgian is not sufficiently...sophisticated for it yet, obviously! Edit: I just noticed it's supposed to be "ცხოვრება..."

(Warning: I'm just going to rant for a while because I am bored and I like to write! ;)
Sorry about the depression up there. When I have assignments due I get a little neurotic (if you read all that, you know that I don't like school!). I'm just lonely because my family is having fun without me, haha. Anyway, I just found something on my Hebrew log that kind of relates to this log. It's really silly so I won't post it here, but it got me thinking. Basically, it's about Georgian food, but it also talks about Israeli perceptions of Georgian people. This is very interesting to me because I don't know any Georgian people in Israel (or anywhere really...), and they way they are portrayed there seems so completely opposite of the Georgians in Georgia (not that I know much about them either). But they have all these really strange stereotypes about them! It's kind of hilarious because they (the stereotypes) seem so backwards to me. I kind of understand why they are seen the way they are, because I have a basic understanding of the views on ethnicity in Israel (I can explain it if you're interested...), but it's still really funny and weird to me! It got me thinking about this show I like to watch. It's called Ramzor ("traffic light"). There is also a Russian version called, you guessed it, Светофор! Anyway, there is this Georgian character on the Israeli version, his name is Shalva and he owns a falafel place. He is very, very friendly, too friendly actually. In fact, there is a whole episode dedicated to that! It's my favorite episode for so many reasons. Partly because I can understand all the Georgian that is spoken, which they don't always translate in the Hebrew subtitles (most Israeli shows have Hebrew subtitles even if the show is in Hebrew). And some of it is kind of vulgar/hilarious! Like the time when Shalva tells some girl who works at a club to go fuсk herself because she won't let him in, haha! Well, I don't know what my point was with this, it was just on my mind. I'm bored more than I usually am because I'm home alone! I wish I could find this show with English subtitles or something, because it's so funny! And it's extra funny if you understand Russian and/or Georgian, which most people reading this log do. If you wanna look it up anyway, it's called רמזור. Although you might just get a bunch of pictures of traffic lights. ;) Edited by zecchino1991 on 25 March 2013 at 8:57am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm impressed that you can write so much in Georgian, zecchino! And it's so easy to folow through. I'm writing a bit, just not at my log.

მერე სად წერ, Expugnator?
Today I listened to some Beginner's Georgian in my car. I wanted to listen to Gruzinskii Yazyk c Mamoi, but I couldn't find it on my iPod. It was a good review. I want to go through that book again because I haven't looked at it for a while. Edited by zecchino1991 on 26 March 2013 at 3:56am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

მეილი ქართული ქალისთვის დავწერე.
სხვათა შორის, უნდა Beginner Georgianს წინადადები ჩემი ანკი დეკში დავაყენო. 1 person has voted this message useful |
