Cultural information[edit | edit source]
Fruit is a popular and important part of Georgian cuisine, and many Georgian dishes use fruit as an ingredient, such as tkemali sauce made with plums, and churchkhela candy made with grape juice and nuts. In Georgia, it is also customary to give guests a basket of fruit as a gift. The country is blessed with a rich soil and varied climate, so a wide variety of fruits are grown in different regions. For example, the Kakheti region is famous for its grapes, while the Adjara region is known for its mandarins. Georgia also has many talented winemakers, who use local fruits to make delicious wines.
Practice[edit | edit source]
To practice the new words, try to memorize them and then test yourself. Try to identify the fruits from pictures, or ask a Georgian-speaking friend to show you some fruits and pronounce their names. You can also incorporate the new words into your daily vocabulary to make them a part of your natural Georgian language.
To improve your Georgian Vocabulary, you can also use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions!
