Significado
Stating preparedness for an action.
Contexto cultural
A host is expected to be 'mzad' for guests at any time. If a guest arrives and the house is not 'mzad,' the host will often apologize profusely while quickly preparing a feast. The Tamada (toastmaster) ensures everyone is 'mzad' (ready) with a full glass before starting a toast. It's a sign of respect to be ready when the Tamada begins. The phrase 'მზად ვარ' has been used in social media campaigns in Georgia to signal readiness for political change or European integration. In the high mountains of Svaneti or Khevsureti, being 'mzad' historically meant being ready for defense or a long trek. It carries a connotation of strength and reliability.
Drop the 'Me'
You don't need to say 'Me' (I). 'Mzad var' already implies 'I am'.
Object vs Person
Remember: 'Mzad var' (I am ready), 'Mzad aris' (It is ready).
