Signification
A clear sky during the day.
Contexte culturel
The 'Blue Horns' (Tsisperqantselebi) were a famous group of poets who used blue as their signature color to modernize Georgian literature. In high altitude regions, the sky appears a much darker, more intense 'lurji' than in the lowlands due to thin air. A common toast is to 'peaceful skies,' which is synonymous with a 'blue sky' without the smoke of war. Famous Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani often used deep blue backgrounds in his primitive masterpieces to represent the sky.
The 'A' Drop
Remember that 'Tsa' is a special noun. When you say 'in the sky', it becomes 'Tsashi', not 'Tsashi'.
Peaceful Wishes
If you want to wish someone well, say 'Mshvidobiani tsa' (Peaceful sky). It's very Georgian!
