Significado
To get better after illness.
Contexto cultural
In Georgia, being 'on one's feet' is a prerequisite for hospitality. A host will often apologize if they cannot stand to greet a guest due to illness, saying 'ბოდიში, ფეხზე ვერ გხვდებით.' Across the Caucasus, the 'upright' posture is associated with honor (Namusi). To be 'down' is not just a health state but a temporary loss of one's social role. In the 1990s, this phrase was used constantly in political speeches to describe the hope that the newly independent Georgia would 'stand on its feet' economically. There is a traditional belief that 'standing up' and moving is the best cure for a lingering illness, contrasting with the Western 'bed rest' advice.
Use it for encouragement
If someone is feeling low, saying 'მალე ფეხზე დადგები' is a very warm way to show support.
Don't use with 'is'
Never say 'მე ვარ ფეხზე დადგომა'. Always conjugate the verb: 'მე დავდექი'.

Supra etiquette
If you are at a Supra and someone toasts to your health, you can reply by saying you hope everyone 'stands firmly on their feet'.
