뜻
The primary part of a meal.
문화적 배경
In a traditional Supra, the 'main dish' isn't always served alone. You might have 20 plates on the table, and the 'Mtavari Kerdzi' is simply the most substantial meat dish. During religious fasts (Lent, etc.), the 'მთავარი კერძი' will be vegan (samarkhvo), often featuring beans (Lobio) or mushrooms. In Georgia, it's common for the 'main dish' to be brought out as soon as it's ready, rather than waiting for everyone's dish to be finished. You can use this phrase to ask for synchronized serving. The term 'მეორე კერძი' (Second Dish) is still used in school cafeterias and hospitals, reflecting the old standardized menu system.
Ordering like a pro
When ordering, say 'მთავარ კერძად...' (As a main dish...) followed by the name of the food.
Soup is not 'Main'
Never call a soup 'Mtavari Kerdzi' in a traditional restaurant; it will confuse the waiter regarding the order of service.

The 'Head' connection
Remembering that 'Mtavari' means 'Head' will help you remember other words like 'Mtavroba' (Government - the heads of the country).

자주 묻는 질문
4 질문Yes, in a restaurant context, if you've already been talking about food, you can say 'მთავარზე რას მირჩევთ?' (What do you recommend for the main?).
Yes, Khinkali is almost always served as a 'მთავარი კერძი'.
'კერძი' is a specific prepared dish (like Lasagna), while 'საჭმელი' is food in general.
You would say 'მე ვარ მთავარი კერძი', but be careful—it's a bit of a cheesy pick-up line!
