Signification
Leisure hours.
Contexte culturel
Free time is often synonymous with 'Supra' (feast) culture. If you have free time, you are expected to spend it with others, not alone. In the capital, 'free time' is increasingly spent in 'Fabrika' or other creative hubs, reflecting a shift toward European-style leisure. In rural/mountain areas, 'free time' is seasonal. In winter, there is much of it; in summer, almost none due to farming. Older generations might view 'free time' as a time for chores or family duties, while younger generations see it as time for self-care.
The 'Dros' Shortcut
Always remember 'tavisupal dros' as a single block. It means 'in my free time' and you don't need any other prepositions.
Avoid 'Upaso'
Never use 'upaso' for time. It makes you sound like you're selling hours for zero lari.
