معنی
Expressing the need for water.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Georgia, if you say you are thirsty, it is common for a host to offer you homemade wine or 'compote' (fruit juice) instead of just plain water. It is a point of pride to offer the best drink available. Tbilisi is famous for its small public drinking fountains called 'pulpulebi'. They provide free, clean mountain water to anyone who is thirsty. It is a social norm to stop and drink from them. Georgians are very loyal to their mineral water brands (Borjomi, Nabeghlavi). Being 'thirsty' often leads to a debate about which mineral water is better for health. In the Orthodox tradition, 'thirst' is often used in hymns to describe the soul's longing for God. This gives the word a deeper, spiritual resonance in formal speech.
The Tsq'ali Connection
Always associate 'm-TSQ-uria' with 'TSQ-ali' (water). If you know the word for water, you'll never forget the word for thirst.
Don't say 'I am'
Never use 'var' (am) with 'mtsk'uria'. The verb already contains the 'am' meaning.

Use with 'ძალიან'
To sound more natural, add 'ძალიან' (dzalian - very) before it. Georgians rarely just say 'I'm thirsty'; they are usually 'very thirsty'!

سوالات متداول
5 سوالNot usually. 'მწყურია' implies a biological need for hydration. If you want beer or wine, it's better to say 'ლუდი მინდა' (I want beer).
Just add 'არ' (ar) before the verb: 'არ მწყურია' (ar mtsk'uria).
Yes, it's a neutral term. However, adding 'უკაცრავად' (excuse me) or 'თუ შეიძლება' (if possible) makes it more polite.
Because it's an indirect verb. The 'm-' shows that the thirst is happening *to* me (Dative).
Yes, 'შენი სიყვარული მწყურია' is very romantic and poetic, but maybe too intense for a first date!
