意思
Feeling extreme sorrow or pity.
文化背景
Georgians are known for 'emotional hospitality.' Showing that you are moved by someone's story is as important as offering them food. In the capital, this phrase is often used when discussing the 'disappearing Tbilisi'—the loss of old wooden balconies and historical courtyards. In villages, the phrase is frequently used regarding the 'migration' of youth to cities, leaving the elderly alone. On Georgian Facebook, this is the most common comment on charity posts or news about accidents.
Use it for Empathy
This is the 'magic word' to show a Georgian you really care about what they are saying. It builds instant rapport.
Don't overdo it
If you say it for every little thing (like a broken pencil), it loses its power and sounds insincere.
