뜻
Natural weather event.
문화적 배경
Rain is often seen as a sign of abundance. In traditional toasts, people might wish for 'rain on your fields' as a metaphor for prosperity. Tbilisi's infrastructure often struggles with heavy rain, leading to the common phrase 'წვიმა მოდის და საცობებია' (It's raining and there are traffic jams). It's a universal excuse for being late. In Batumi, the rainiest city in Georgia, people are so used to rain that they often don't even use umbrellas for light rain. They might say 'ეს ხომ ბათუმია' (This is Batumi, after all). Rain is vital for grapes, but hail (სეტყვა) is feared. Farmers will watch the sky anxiously saying 'წვიმა მოდის' with hope, but 'სეტყვა არ წამოვიდეს' (hope hail doesn't start).
The 'Coming' Rule
Remember that in Georgian, weather arrives like a guest. Rain, snow, and hail all 'come' (მოდის).
No 'It'
Never start the sentence with 'ის' (it). Just start with 'წვიმა'.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, 'წვიმს' is perfectly correct and means 'it's raining.' However, 'წვიმა მოდის' is more common in casual conversation.
Say 'წვიმა დაიწყო' (ts'vima daits'q'o).
It is neutral. You can use it with friends or in a business meeting.
You can say 'ცოტა წვიმა მოდის' (a little rain is coming) or use the verb 'ჟინჟღლავს' (it's drizzling).
Georgian logic views weather as moving toward the observer's location rather than just falling vertically.
Use the past tense: 'წვიმა მოვიდა' (ts'vima movida).
It sounds very literal. For metaphorical rain, Georgians usually use different poetic constructions.
Yes, you can say 'მოდის წვიმა,' but 'წვიმა მოდის' is the standard order.
It's 'ქოლგა' (kolga).
No, 'წვიმა' is singular, so 'მოდის' stays singular.
