Som en del af la Journée européenne des langues, today is the Day of Multilingual Blogging.Para la mayoría de los bloggers no es difícil, потому что они пишут только на одном языке обычно, och alla läsare förstår genast att det inte er vanligt, kiam ili skribas en nekutima lingvo.Men hvis jeg havde blogget på spansk eller tysk, hätten alle wohl...

Phyllis and I spent the weekend in Paris with Anna.Close to our hotel, on the Rue Boutebrie, we found a wonderful Georgian restaurant, called Pirosmani (named after the painter, of course).I had lobio and xink'ali, and Phyllis had ajapsandali and kharcho, but Anna liked the ajapsandali best.აჯაფსანდალი ajapsandali (recipe here) is diced aubergine that has been cooked till it's very...

From Howard I. Aronson’s Georgian: A Reading Grammar
:
A final term must be introduced here, the screeve (coined by the Georgian linguist Ak ̣ak ̣i Šanije from the Georgian word mc ̣k ̣rivi ‘row’). A screeve is what is traditionally called a tense, i.e., a set of six forms of a given verb differing only in person and number, as in Latin amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant. But since the various “tenses” do not always have temporal meaning, but may have modal or aspectual meanings instead, we prefer the more unusual but less misleading term of screeves.
Ever since I studied Georgian, I’ve continued using the word screeve instead of tense mentally, although of course I have to translate it when I’m speaking to non-Kartvelists. I really wish its use would increase.
Der er dog et problem med, hvordan man skal oversætte det til dansk. Et skriv lyder ikke så godt.

Great news!The famed three-volume Georgian-German dictionary by Kita Tschenkéli (კიტა ჩხენკელი), "Georgisch-Deutsches Wörterbuch", which is the best bilingual dictionary of Georgian into any language, including English and Russian, is in print again!When I studied Georgian in Tbilisi, my dad had to get all 2508 pages photocopied from the university library's copy and sent to me because it was absolutely essential but impossible to buy anywhere.The price is €145, which is really quite cheap for this type of work. The only...

Asmus Rotne, who studied in Tbilisi the year before I did, today posted on Facebook that he had "just heard that the Georgian patriarch declared that toasting with beer is ok and carries the same significance as toasting with wine! It is a revolution!"It is a revolution indeed, although you probably need to be familiar with Georgian culture to realise...

მე ხშარად ვხმარობ ბრავზერს Lynx. ამ ბრავზერს აქვს ძალიან სასარგებლო ქმედება: ავტომატური ტრანსლიტერაცია. მაგრამ ერთი პრობლემა იყო: ქართულის ენის ტრანსლიტერაცია არ ჰქონდა.დღეს მე პროგრამის ინსტრუქციები ჩამოვიტანე და ტრანსლიტერაცია დავწერე, და ახლა ქართული ენაც კარგად მუშაობს.

Ever since I studied Georgian in Georgia (1996-97), I've been missing the wonderful Georgian wine. It's ubiquitous in Georgia, and it's extremely widespread in Russia too, but in western Europe, one hardly ever sees it. There are a few online...
