History of origin

Not all representatives of the Georgian people remember this story, but thanks to the preserved records, we can tell it in great detail.

So, there is an ancient legend. It tells the story of a great Georgian tsar who once returned from the war. The people looked at him in silence. There was only one question in their eyes: "Victory?". The silence was interrupted by the sonorous and joyful voice of the king "Gamarjweb!", which meant: "We won!".

Georgian troops often fought battles with their neighbors. And always, before the fight, they wished each other victory. This is how the concept of "victory" was fixed for the word "gamarjweba".

What do these words mean in Russian?

Centuries later Georgian language it underwent some changes, as a result of which "gamarjweba" smoothly transformed into "gamarjoba" and began to mean a greeting. You can trace the line of word changes in old Georgian films. In each of them, the word "gamarjoba" has its own meaning, depending on the context, and sounds different.

In Russian, the word "hello" means to wish health to the person you are addressing, while "gamarjoba" means to wish success and victory over all difficulties, and to make the right choice throughout the day.

"Genatsvale" is interpreted in absolutely different ways in the Russian language. Here are a few interpretations:

• dear
• beloved
• comrade
• friend

Ultimately, it acts as an appeal to a close person, a good friend, someone with whom you are in close friendly relations.

"Genatsvale" comes from the word "tsvla", which in Russian sounds like an exchange. If you delve into the meaning of the word "genatsvale", you can understand that a person expresses his consent to take the place of the one to whom he is addressing. To take over his pain and suffering, diseases and sins.

Do not confuse it with the word "katso". Katso is the complete opposite of "genatsvale". In Russian, it is interpreted as "familiar". Before contacting someone, think about whether he is really a genatsvale for you, and not a katso?

Combining two words we get "gamarjoba genatsvale", which in Russian will sound like "hello, good friend". That's what Georgians say to each other when they meet, what they hear from tourists who come to Georgia, that's what the signs of shops, restaurants and cafes mean.

The rich Georgian language contains many expressions and phrases meaning gratitude and hospitality of Georgians to tourists. The big difference in their use is the emotional coloring, so be careful about the application of Georgian greetings to local residents of Georgia.

It is better not to use the wonderful phrase "Gamarjoba, genatsvale" with every unknown Georgian, it is more suitable for close and close relationships. To greet the older generations and respected people, it is worth saying “gamarjobat". Such a technique will show that you are well acquainted with the forms of address in the Georgian language.

The spelling of these words in Georgian

Many people know this expression by ear. And how is it written? Knowing georgian letters, you can easily learn to read. You can see the text design of the phrase on various brochures, booklets, signs. It looks like this - «გამარჯობა» .

In Latin letters, the first word of this phrase is written as "gamarjoba". But is it always written correctly? Of course not always! Gamarjoba is a single word, but sometimes in writing it is divided into two parts "Gamar" and "Joba", which is completely contrary to grammar.

There are a number of particles that Georgians use in conversation to determine the status of the interlocutor:

If the interlocutor is a respected person, then he is addressed with a particle — "diah"

• If the conversation is conducted on a business topic, use the particle — "ki"
• If the conversation is conducted in an informal, relaxed atmosphere, often use the particle — "ho".
• The variety of additional word forms, synonyms and antonyms makes the Georgian language unique and very multifaceted. While conducting a conversation, you can always catch the mood of the interlocutor, his attitude to what is happening and avoid ambiguity.

Phonetics of the Georgian language

Each person pronounces the word "gamarjoba" differently. The stress is placed in different parts of the word. This causes a contradiction between people who they speak Georgian. But how is it right?

In comparison with other languages, for example, with French, where the stress is most often placed on the last syllable, in Georgian the stress is not so clearly expressed. Thus, all syllables are equally stressed.

So, having dealt with the history of the origin, meaning, spelling and phonetics of this phrase, one question remains: “What to say in response?”. Many people in confusion make a big mistake by saying "gamarjoba-gamarjoba" in response, which is meant as "hello, hello". No, it's not that simple. Georgians have another word on this score - "gagimardjos". Translated into Russian, this word sounds like "victory to you". There is a version that "gagimardjos" also translates as "sorry". If we consider the word in this context, then we can find two more versions of the word "sorry" in Georgian:

• The first is "ukatsravad". It is used if they want to pay attention to something.
• The second is "bodishi". It is used when a person is really guilty and wants to ask for forgiveness.
