意味
True friends help in trouble.
文化的背景
Friendship is often prioritized over professional obligations. If a friend is in trouble, it is culturally acceptable to leave work to help them. The concept of 'Kunaqi' (a guest-friend) in the Caucasus involves a lifelong commitment to protect and help one another, reinforcing this proverb. The toast to 'Megobroba' (Friendship) is one of the mandatory toasts. The Tamada will often use this proverb to introduce the toast. Even in modern Tbilisi, the 'neighborhood' (ubani) culture relies on this proverb. Neighbors are often treated as the 'friends in need'.
Use it as a compliment
If a friend helps you, saying this is one of the highest compliments you can give them in Georgia.
Don't overuse
If you say it every time someone buys you a coffee, it loses its power.
