Signification
A hard piece of work.
Contexte culturel
In Georgian schools, 'amotsana' is the only word used for math problems. Students are encouraged to 'solve' (gadachra) them, a verb that also means 'to cut through'. Georgians value directness about difficulty. Saying a task is 'rtuli' is seen as being realistic and professional, not as complaining. In Georgian fairy tales, heroes are often given three 'amotsana' (riddles or tasks) by a king or a giant to prove their worth. The concept of 'rtuli' is often contrasted with 'martivi' (simple). Georgians often say 'Life is a rtuli amotsana' during toasts at a supra.
The 'i' Drop
Always remember to drop the 'i' in 'rtuli' if you are using it as an object: 'Rtul amotsanas'. This makes you sound like a native!
Avoid 'Mshime'
Don't use 'mshime' for tasks unless you want to sound like you are physically carrying the task on your back.
