Q&A

Answers to your questions

How do you say "thank you" in Georgian?
"გმადლობთ" (gmad-LOB-t). It's one of the five words worth knowing by heart before you land.
How much Georgian do I need for a trip?
Not much. Five or six courtesy words (hello, thank you, please, sorry, yes/no) open doors, and another ten to fifteen phrases for fixed situations — a taxi, check-in, the restaurant bill — cover almost any trip. The rest: a camera-translation app.
Can you get by in English where Georgian is spoken?
In city centres, hotels and tourist sites — usually yes, especially with younger people. Outside them — markets, transport, small towns — a few words of the local language make a real difference and are warmly received.
Which countries have Georgian as an official language?
Georgian is a main language in 1 countries: Georgia.
What's the difference between the formal and casual greeting?
Most languages have a formal "hello" for strangers, service staff and elders, and an everyday version for friends and peers. As a traveller it's always safer to open with the formal one — nobody is offended by too much politeness.
How do you politely ask someone to speak English?
"ინგლისურად საუბრობთ?" (in-gli-SU-rad sa-u-BROB-t?) — "do you speak English?". Lead with "excuse me" in the local language and it comes across as respectful.
