Significado
Literally 'no market', means 'no argument/of course'.
Contexto cultural
In the capital, this phrase is often said with a very short, clipped accent. It signals that you are 'cool' and 'urban'. Historically, this was the language of 'Kargi Bichebi' (Good Boys). Using it perfectly requires a certain relaxed body language. On Facebook and Instagram, you will see it written as 'bazari araa' in Latin script or 'ბაზარი არაა' in Mkhedruli. It's the go-to comment for agreement. In Western Georgia (Imereti/Adjara), people might use it less than in Tbilisi, preferring more local dialectal forms of agreement, but everyone understands it.
The 'Slang' Nod
When saying this, a small, confident nod makes you sound 100% more like a local.
Elder Alert
Never say this to someone over 60 unless you know them very well; it can sound 'unrefined'.
