Significado
Releasing something or someone.
Contexto cultural
In Georgia, letting a guest go ('გაშვება') is a delicate matter. You must insist they stay, but eventually, you must 'let go' with blessings and gifts. In the mountains of Svaneti, 'holding on' to the rope during a climb is a matter of life and death. 'ხელის გაშვება' here is never used lightly. Young Georgians use 'ხელის გაშვება' to describe the modern struggle of 'ghosting' or deciding to stop seeing someone in a casual dating context. Religious discourse in Georgia often uses the concept of 'letting go' of worldly desires or sins to find spiritual peace.

Don't be too aggressive
In a physical fight, 'ხელი გამიშვი' is a demand. In a romantic context, it can be very dramatic. Use it carefully!
