Significado
Asking someone to rise.
Contexto cultural
It is mandatory for students to stand when a teacher enters. This is called 'Pativistsema' (Respect). Certain toasts, like those to the 'Mother of God' or 'Georgia,' require guests to stand up. Younger people are expected to stand up and give their seats to the elderly without being asked. When a guest enters a home, the host and family members must stand to greet them.
The 'Respect' Rule
If you are unsure whether to use 'ადექი' or 'ადექით', always choose 'ადექით'. It is better to be too formal than accidentally rude.
Don't over-aspirate
The 'k' and 't' are aspirated, but don't make them sound like a cough. Keep it light.
