Essential Shopping Vocabulary
Let's start with the basics. These are the most common Georgian words and phrases you will need when shopping or bargaining:

These words and phrases will help you communicate with vendors and service providers. Don't be afraid to haggle a little – bargaining is a common practice in Georgia, especially in outdoor markets.

Remember to check the exchange rate before exchanging your money, especially if you plan to visit the more remote areas of Georgia where credit cards may not be accepted.

In case of an emergency, here are some useful words and phrases to help you communicate with service providers:
| Georgian | Pronunciation | English |
