Something happening very quickly.
Contexto cultural
In Georgia, being a 'fast' host is a point of pride. If you ask for something at a supra (feast), the host aims to provide it 'თვალის დახამხამებაში' to show their dedication. Modern Tbilisi is a fast-paced city. People use this phrase often when complaining about traffic changes or how quickly new buildings appear. Heroes in Georgian myths often move 'თვალის დახამხამებაში' to defeat monsters, emphasizing the cultural value of agility (martsve). Young Georgians use this phrase on Instagram or TikTok to describe how fast their weekends or holidays pass, often accompanied by a sad emoji.
Use it for emphasis
Don't just use it for speed; use it when you want to show you are impressed by the speed.
