Money is an essential part of our daily lives, and being able to communicate about it is crucial for any language learner. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of the Georgian words and phrases associated with money, allowing you to confidently navigate financial situations in Georgia. We will cover various topics, such as basic currency words, banking, and shopping. So let's dive in and expand our Georgian vocabulary!

Basic Currency Words[edit | edit source]

To start, let's learn some basic currency words in Georgian. Here are the most common terms you will encounter when dealing with money:

Georgian	Pronunciation	English Translation
ლარი (lari)	[lɑɾi]	lari
თეთრი (tetri)	[tʰɛtʰɾi]	tetri
კაპიტალი (kapitali)	[kʰɑpitʰɑli]	capital
მონეტა (moneta)	[mɔnɛtʰɑ]	coin
ბანკნოტი (banknoti)	[bɑnkʰnɔti]	banknote

Georgian currency is called "lari" and is represented by the symbol "₾". The currency is further divided into "tetri," with 100 tetri equaling 1 lari. It's important to note that the pronunciation of these words is crucial for effective communication.

Banking[edit | edit source]

Now, let's move on to the topic of banking. Whether you need to withdraw money, open an account, or simply understand common banking terms, this section will equip you with the necessary vocabulary.

Opening a Bank Account[edit | edit source]

To open a bank account in Georgian, you will need to know the following phrases:

ბანკის ანგარიში გახსნა (bankis angarishi gakhna) - Open a bank account
მიზანის დაყენება (mizanis dayeneba) - Deposit money
ანგარიშიდან თანხის გატარება (angarishidan tankhis gatareba) - Withdraw money from the account
გადარიცხვა (gadarichva) - Transferring money

Common Banking Terms[edit | edit source]

Here are some common banking terms you may encounter when dealing with financial institutions:

ბანკი (banki) - Bank
ბანკომატი (bankomati) - ATM
კრედიტი (krediti) - Credit
დებიტი (debiti) - Debit
საკურსი (sakursi) - Exchange rate
ბანკის პირველი (bankis pireli) - Bank teller
სესხი (sesxi) - Loan
განვადება (ganvadeba) - Payment

Shopping[edit | edit source]

When it comes to shopping, knowing the vocabulary for prices, discounts, and payments is essential. Let's explore some useful phrases for shopping in Georgian:

რა ფასია? (ra p'asia) - What is the price?
საუკეთესო ფასი (sauketeso p'asi) - Best price
ფასდაკლება (p'asdakleba) - Discount
გადახდა (gadaxda) - Payment
მაგიდა (magida) - Receipt
საცალო (sats'alo) - Sale

When shopping in Georgia, it's common to haggle for a better price, especially in markets and smaller shops. Don't be afraid to negotiate and use phrases like "საუკეთესო ფასი" (sauketeso p'asi) to ask for the best price.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Georgians have a strong culture of hospitality, and money plays a significant role in their social interactions. It is customary to treat guests and offer them meals and drinks as a sign of respect. In Georgian culture, it is considered impolite to split the bill among friends or guests. Instead, the host usually insists on paying for everyone as a gesture of hospitality.

Georgians also have a rich history of winemaking, and wine is an integral part of Georgian culture. In fact, Georgia is considered one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world. Traditional wine-making methods, such as fermenting grapes in clay vessels called "qvevri," are still practiced in some regions of Georgia. Wine is often served during meals and social gatherings, symbolizing friendship and celebration.

Exercises[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to practice what you've learned! Try the following exercises to reinforce your understanding of the Georgian vocabulary related to money and currency:

1. Match the Georgian words with their English translations:

a) ლარი b) თეთრი c) კაპიტალი d) მონეტა e) ბანკნოტი

i) coin ii) capital iii) banknote iv) lari v) tetri

Solution: a) iv) lari, b) v) tetri, c) ii) capital, d) i) coin, e) iii) banknote

2. Imagine you are shopping in a Georgian market. Write a dialogue between you and the shopkeeper, using the phrases and vocabulary you have learned in this lesson.

Example: You: რა ფასია? (ra p'asia) - What is the price? Shopkeeper: ეს კაცადი ლარია. (es kats'adi laria) - It is five lari.

3. Create a conversation between two friends discussing their recent visit to a Georgian winery. Use wine-related vocabulary and cultural insights from this lesson.

Example: Friend 1: მაგარი იყო რამდენიმე სოფელში რომელში დავასახელეთ ღვთისმშობელნი. (magari ik'o ramdenime sop'elsi rok'elshi davasakhela gvtismshobeli) - We visited several villages known for winemaking. Friend 2: როგორი ღვთისმშობელი ხელოვნებაც დაგვემატება? (rog'ori gvtismshobeli khelovnebakha dagvemat'eba) - What did you learn about winemaking? Friend 1: მათემატიკაც საჭიროა ღვთისმშობელს.
