How do you say 'what are you doing' in Georgian?
Simple questions for chatting and conversation.
Short answer
'What are you doing' in Georgian is ras aketeb (რას აკეთებ), and the casual 'what are you up to' is ras shvrebi (რას შვრები). To answer 'nothing', say araperss (არაფერს). People often write these in messages along with gamarjoba.
Why
- The polite form is ras aketebt (რას აკეთებთ).
- 'How are you' in Georgian is rogor khar (როგორ ხარ).
- Ras shvrebi sounds friendly and is used with people you know.
Details
For a fuller answer, say vmushaob (ვმუშაობ), 'I'm working', or visveneb (ვისვენებ), 'I'm resting'.
Tip
Use ras shvrebi with friends; with acquaintances, ras aketebt is more polite.
What may differ
Use the polite form with older people and strangers; the familiar form is fine with friends.
