뜻
Used when meeting someone new.
문화적 배경
Georgians value physical presence. When saying 'Sasiamovnoa,' a handshake is almost mandatory for men and very common for women in professional settings. In the capital, the phrase is often used quickly. You might hear it shortened in pronunciation to 'S'siamovnoa'. People in the coastal regions are known for their warmth. You might hear 'Dzalian sasiamovnoa' more frequently as a sign of maritime hospitality. Introductions often happen over wine. 'Sasiamovnoa' might be followed by an immediate invitation to sit and drink.
The 'Chemtvisats' Trick
If you forget the long word 'Sasiamovnoa', just wait for the other person to say it and reply with 'Chemtvisats' (For me too). It's shorter and sounds very native!
Don't conjugate!
Never say 'Sasiamovno var' (I am pleasant). It sounds like you are bragging about how nice you smell or feel.

Yes, but change it to the past tense: 'Sasiamovno iqo' (It was pleasant).
It is a shortened form of 'aris' (is). So the word literally means 'It is pleasant'.
The best way is 'Chemtvisats' (For me too) or 'Chemtvisats sasiamovnoa'.
Yes, if the other person has already said their name, a simple 'Sasiamovnoa' is perfect.
No, Georgian has no grammatical gender. 'Sasiamovnoa' is the same for everyone.
Technically yes, but 'gemrielia' (it is delicious) is much more common for food.
You can say 'Sasiamovnoa' to the whole group, or 'Sasiamovnoa tkveni gatsnoba' (plural).
