뜻
To avoid looking at someone.
문화적 배경
During a toast, avoiding eye contact with the person being toasted is seen as insincere. You must look them in the eye as you raise your glass. In rural areas, a young woman avoiding the eye of an older man is often seen as a sign of 'tavmdabloba' (humility) rather than guilt. In Tbilisi, like in many big cities, 'tvalis atsileba' is now a common way to maintain privacy in crowded spaces like the Metro. In a Georgian business setting, direct eye contact is expected. Avoiding it can make you seem untrustworthy or unprepared.
Use the Verb
In real conversation, you'll use 'თვალს მარიდებს' (He avoids my eye) much more often than the noun form.
Don't be too literal
If you say 'თვალი ააცილე' to mean 'look away from the sun,' people will understand, but it sounds like you're shy around the sun!
