Signification
Wishing someone a happy departure.
Contexte culturel
Georgians often repeat farewells multiple times. It's common to hear 'Kargad, bednierad, nakhvamdis' all in one breath. This isn't redundant; it's a sign of warmth. The concept of 'Bedi' (Fate) is central to Georgian folklore. Wishing someone to be 'happily' is seen as a way to influence their luck positively. In regions like Imereti, people are known for being exceptionally talkative and warm. Farewells there might be even longer and more elaborate than in Tbilisi. In Georgian Slack or WhatsApp groups, 'ბედნიერად' is often used to 'sign off' for the day, similar to 'signing out'.
The 'Aba' Prefix
Always add 'Aba' before 'bednierad' to sound 100% more like a native speaker. It acts as a conversational bridge.
Not for Arrivals
Never use this as a greeting. It will make people think you are leaving immediately after arriving.
