Signification
A tree with significant height.
Contexte culturel
The 'Wishing Tree' is a cultural icon. People tie ribbons to tall trees to make wishes. Tall trees near churches are often considered sacred and are never cut down. In Tbilisi, tall trees are valued for providing 'chrdili' (shade) during the hot summers. Tall trees are often used as metaphors for stoic, mountain-dwelling men.
Case Matters
Remember that 'maghali' changes to 'maghal' when the noun 'khe' takes a case ending like -s (Dative).
Not for Buildings
Don't use 'khe' for anything other than a biological tree.
