뜻
Nodding to show agreement.
문화적 배경
In Georgia, nodding while someone is speaking is a vital sign of 'active listening'. If you remain perfectly still, the speaker might ask if you are still listening. Be careful! In Bulgaria, a vertical nod means 'no' and a side-to-side shake means 'yes'. This is the opposite of the Georgian 'თავის დაქნევა'. In traditional mountain cultures, a deep 'თავის დაკვრა' (head bow) was used to greet elders or guests of high honor, showing more gravity than a simple nod. Younger Georgians often use a very subtle, almost imperceptible nod in cool or casual social settings, often combined with a slight raise of the eyebrows.
The 'Silent Yes'
In a noisy Georgian restaurant, don't shout. Just make eye contact and give a firm 'თავის დაქნევა'.
Prefix Power
Always double-check your prefix. 'Da-' is your friend for 'Yes'. 'Ga-' is for 'No'.

The Social Nod
When listening to a story, nod every few seconds. It makes you sound like a native listener!
Respect the Elders
When an older person is speaking, your 'თავის დაქნევა' should be slower and more deliberate.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, in Georgia it strictly means 'yes' or acknowledgement. For 'no', use 'თავის გაქნევა'.

'დაქნევა' is a common nod; 'დაკვრა' is a more formal, respectful bow of the head.
Not really, but a very quick, upward jerk of the chin is a slangy way to say 'What's up?'
In a sentence like 'თავს ვიქნევ', the word 'თავი' is enough. 'თავის დაქნევა' is the name of the action.
