32
+ ## Introduction
33
+
34
+ Practical reading skills go beyond menus and signs. You will encounter Georgian text on hotel registration forms, taxi receipts, booking confirmations, and address labels. This lesson prepares you to extract the information you need from these everyday documents.

56
+ ## Reading a Georgian Address
57
+
58
+ A typical Georgian address reads:
59
+
60
+ **თბილისი, რუსთაველის გამზირი, №8**
61
+ (Tbilisi, Rustaveli Avenue, No. 8)
62
+
63
+ **ქუთაისი, ლაშა-გიორგის ქუჩა, №15, ბინა 4**
64
+ (Kutaisi, Lasha-Giorgi Street, No. 15, Apartment 4)
65
+
66
+ Key address terms:
67
+ - **გამზირი** = avenue (wide street)
68
+ - **ქუჩა** = street
69
+ - **ბინა** = apartment / flat
70
+ - **№** = number

122
+ ## Reading Dates in Georgian
123
+
124
+ Georgian dates use the format: **day + month name + year**
125
+
126
+ | Georgian Month | Transliteration | Meaning |
127
+ |----------------|-----------------|---------|
128
+ | იანვარი | ia-nva-ri | January |
129
+ | თებერვალი | te-ber-va-li | February |
130
+ | მარტი | mar-ti | March |
131
+ | აპრილი | ap-ri-li | April |
132
+ | მაისი | ma-i-si | May |
133
+ | ივნისი | iv-ni-si | June |
134
+
135
+ Example: **15 მარტი 2025** = 15 March 2025
136
+
137
+ ## Cultural Note: Georgian Surnames
138
+
139
+ Georgian surnames have distinct masculine and feminine forms. Masculine surnames often end in **-ი** or **-ძე** (dzе, meaning "son of") or **-შვილი** (shvili, meaning "child of"). Feminine surnames often end in **-ა**. For example, the male surname **გელაშვილი** (Gelashvili) becomes **გელაშვილი** for females as well — though historically it was **გელაშვილა**. This makes Georgian names recognizable and grammatically systematic.

143

145
+ **Question:** Read the address and answer the questions
146
+
147
+ Address: **თბილისი, რუსთაველის გამზირი, №8**
148
+
149
+ 1. What city is this in? ___
150
+ 2. What is the street type? ___
151
+ 3. What is the number? ___
152
+
153
+ **Answer:**
154
+
155
+ 1. Tbilisi (თბილისი)
156
+ 2. Avenue / Boulevard (გამზირი)
157
+ 3. 8 (№8)
158
+
159
+ **Explanation:** Georgian addresses follow the pattern: city, street name + type, number. თბილისი is Tbilisi, რუსთაველის is the genitive of the name Rustaveli, გამზირი means avenue.

169
+ - მოქალაქეობა
170
+ - პასპორტი
171
+ - ელ-ფოსტა
172
+
173
+ **Answer:**
174
+
175
+ - სახელი → first name
176
+ - გვარი → surname
177
+ - მოქალაქეობა → citizenship / nationality
178
+ - პასპორტი → passport
179
+ - ელ-ფოსტა → email
180
+
181
+ **Explanation:** სახელი literally means "name." გვარი is the family name/surname. მოქალაქეობა comes from მოქალაქე (citizen). ელ-ფოსტა is a direct calque from "electronic post."

192

193
+ - ელ-ფოსტა
194
+
195
+ **Answer:** 2
196
+
197
+ **Explanation:** გვარი is the family name / surname. სახელი is the first/given name. This distinction matters on forms — putting your first name in the გვარი field and your surname in the სახელი field is a common mistake.

+ # გაკვეთილი 7 (Lesson 7) — News Headlines
31
+
32
+ ## Introduction
33
+
34
+ News headlines use compressed, direct language. They often omit articles and some grammatical markers to fit a topic into a short phrase. Reading Georgian news-style text is excellent practice because it introduces a wider vocabulary and more complex sentence patterns while remaining short enough to analyze fully.

148
+ Georgia has a vibrant independent media landscape. Georgian-language news outlets include Rustavi 2, Imedi TV, and the Public Broadcaster (GPB). The news website **civil.ge** provides English-language coverage of Georgian affairs.

+ ## Cultural Note: Reading Georgian Literature
147
+
148
+ The ultimate goal of reading Georgian is access to its extraordinary literary tradition. Georgia has one of the world's oldest continuous literary traditions, with texts dating back to the 5th century. The 12th-century epic **ვეფხისტყაოსანი** (The Knight in the Panther's Skin) by **შოთა რუსთაველი** (Shota Rustaveli) is considered the national poem. Even basic Georgian reading ability lets you begin to appreciate the beauty of the original script in which this tradition lives.

168
+ **Question:** According to Cultural Text 2, what is unique about Georgian wine-making?
169
+
170
+ **Options:**
171

174
+ - The tamada selects all the wine
175
+
176
+ **Answer:** 2
177
+
178
+ **Explanation:** The text states Georgians have been making wine for more than 8000 years (8000 წელზე მეტია) and use the qvevri (ქვევრი), a clay vessel buried in the ground (მიწაში ჩამარხული თიხის ჭურჭელი). Both facts together make Georgian wine-making uniquely ancient and technically distinct.

191
+
192
+ **Answer:**
193
+
194
+ - სუფრა → Georgian feast / table tradition
195
+ - ტამადა → toastmaster (feast leader)
196
+ - ქვევრი → traditional clay wine vessel
197
+ - მხედრული → Mkhedruli (Georgian script)
198
+ - შედევრი → masterpiece
199
+
200
+ **Explanation:** These five words represent the core of Georgian cultural identity: the feast tradition (სუფრა), its leader (ტამადა), the wine vessel (ქვევრი), the unique script (მხედრული), and the literary tradition (შედევრი). Knowing these words gives you access to discussions of Georgian culture at any level.
