معنی
Having no free time.
زمینه فرهنگی
Georgians often use 'busyness' as a polite excuse to avoid social obligations they don't want to attend, but they will almost always find time for an unexpected guest at their home. In the capital, 'დაკავებული ვარ' is a common status symbol among young professionals, reflecting a shift toward Western work-life values. In business meetings, being 'dakavebuli' is expected. It is considered unprofessional to appear as if you have too much free time. Using this phrase with elders can sometimes be seen as a lack of respect. It's better to explain *what* you are doing rather than just saying you are busy.
Softening the Blow
Always add 'ბოდიში' (sorry) or 'სამწუხაროდ' (unfortunately) before saying you're busy to maintain good social standing.
The 'Engaged' Trap
Never use this to tell someone you are getting married. You will get very confused looks!

Softening the Blow
Always add 'ბოდიში' (sorry) or 'სამწუხაროდ' (unfortunately) before saying you're busy to maintain good social standing.

Plural Agreement
Remember that if you are speaking for a group, you MUST use 'დაკავებულები ვართ'. It's a common A2/B1 test error.
Hospitality vs. Work
If a Georgian says they are busy but then invites you in for wine, they are following the cultural rule that guests come first. Don't take the 'busy' too literally in a home setting!
خودت رو بسنج
Fill in the correct form of the verb 'to be' (ვარ, ხარ, არის).
მე ახლა ძალიან დაკავებული ____.
The subject is 'მე' (I), so the verb must be 'ვარ'.
How do you say 'We are busy'?
Choose the correct plural form:
In Georgian, 'we' (chven) requires the plural suffix '-ebi' on the adjective and the verb 'vart'.
Match the response to the situation.
Someone asks: 'შეგიძლია დამეხმარო?' (Can you help me?) but you are working.
This is the polite way to decline a request for help when you have no time.
Complete the dialogue.
A: ხვალ თავისუფალი ხარ? B: არა, ხვალ ______ ______.
The question asks if you are free (tavisupali), so the logical negative answer is 'I am busy'.
