Bedeutung
Tiring of a person or thing.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Georgians are famous for not letting guests leave. Using 'თავი არ მოგაბეზრეთ' is a way for the guest to test if the host actually wants them to stay longer. In Tbilisi, young people often replace this idiom with 'ტვინის ბურღვა' (brain drilling) when talking about parents or teachers. Classical Georgian literature often uses this phrase to describe the 'ennui' of the upper class in the 19th century.
The 'I hope' trick
Always use 'იმედია, თავი არ მოგაბეზრეთ' at the end of a long email or speech. It makes you sound very native and humble.
Don't be too blunt
Telling someone 'თავი მომაბეზრე' is a quick way to end a friendship. Use it only when you are truly angry.
