Signification
Describing a night without noise or trouble.
Contexte culturel
The word 'mshvidi' is related to the word for 'bow' (as in bow and arrow) in some ancient interpretations, suggesting a 'relaxed' or 'unstrung' state. In the capital, 'mshvidi ghame' is often a topic of irony because the city is so loud with cars and music. A quiet night in the mountains is respected and sometimes feared, as it can precede a big storm. Hosts will often apologize if the night wasn't 'mshvidi' due to neighbors or dogs, as they feel responsible for your peace.
Use it for shifts
If you know someone working at night, 'მშვიდი ღამე' is the kindest thing you can say to them.
Not for people
While you can say a person is 'mshvidi' (calm), you wouldn't call them a 'mshvidi ghame'—that makes no sense!
