When you don’t have a sled(but have a father).

ციგა [tsiga] – sled, sleds, sledges
მამა [mama] – father.

Video from Guga Managadze.


Oh, gosh, at last I can write something, that everyone will understand, all over the world. Thank you for that.

Here goes the first exclusive fun: don't you dare to confuse ბრტყელტერფიანობა with ბრტყელტუჩა.

The first one means flat feet. The other one – the pliers.


Repost from @Tbilisi_life , so you would know – there's not only fun and jokes with all the snowfall on late week.

It's a natural disaster, and people from all over the country volunteer to help suffered from snowfall, especially in mountain regions.

Civil activist Giga Makarashvili:

At dawn, three young men who had set out from Tbilisi to Guria to provide assistance reached one of the high-mountain villages in the region.

Wading through waist-deep snow, they walked for 11 hours before carefully entering a half-collapsed house, where they found a woman of about 70 wrapped in blankets.
'We were scared; we thought we were too late,' they said.
The bravest among us gently touched her shoulder, and when she opened her eyes, they told her, 'We have never been so happy.'

'Boys, my nephew must have sent you, right?!' the woman, regaining consciousness, asked.
'I have only one nephew; he lives in Tbilisi and works in the patrol police!'

They left her food and medicine, cleared the snow around the house, and are now heading to the next village.

Rezo, you will definitely see this post, and remember—you are knocking on the door of the people who saved your aunt to hand them a 5,000-lari fine!

P.S. The total fines the guys have accumulated amount to 25,000 lari.


This computer service clearly dates back to the early 2000s — judging by the goofy logo-mascot with a little face on the screen and other telltale signs.

But just take a moment to appreciate their solution with a cooler in the exhaust pipe!

Let me break it down in three steps:

1. This kind of hole in the wall is usually meant for venting a gas heater. Here it's called "Karma," after an old Turkish brand (kind of like how people say "Xerox" for a copier).

2. A cooler is a small fan used inside a computer case to remove excess heat.

3. These geniuses stuck a computer cooler into the old gas heater vent. And they even added RGB lighting.

The result? Aufff. But only nerds and tech geeks like me will truly appreciate it.

How do Georgians refer to Maslenitsa?

Short answer: They don’t. Georgians are not Slavs.

Long answer: It’s not that simple.

Since Georgia has been an Orthodox Christian country for many years, many holidays from the shared religious tradition are observed here.

One of them is the week before Great Lent, during which meat is not consumed. In Georgia, this church holiday is called ყველიერი (Cheese Week).

There is no established tradition of making pancakes during this time, so instead, people bake khachapuri.
After all, like pancakes, it symbolizes the sun. In some places, they even prepare khinkali with cheese.

Like many traditions, this one has roots in ancient pagan times—specifically in the festival marking the farewell to winter and the arrival of spring.

Over time, the ancient festival Berikaoba-Kheenoba merged with Maslenitsa, leading to frequent confusion. In essence, they have blended into a single week-long celebration.

Some say that in the mountainous regions, the tradition has been preserved in its original form.

In Svaneti, it is called Murkvamoba, featuring a long performance that includes the construction and destruction of a snow tower.

In Racha, it is Natsikhuroba, and in Samegrelo, Chvenieroba.

But for more details, it’s best to ask the highlanders themselves.
