+# გაკვეთილი 6 (Lesson 6) — Practical Documents

+## Reading a Georgian Address
+
+A typical Georgian address reads:
+
+**თბილისი, რუსთაველის გამზირი, №8**
+(Tbilisi, Rustaveli Avenue, No. 8)
+
+**ქუთაისი, ლაშა-გიორგის ქუჩა, №15, ბინა 4**
+(Kutaisi, Lasha-Giorgi Street, No. 15, Apartment 4)
+
+Key address terms:
+- **გამზირი** = avenue (wide street)
+- **ქუჩა** = street
+- **ბინა** = apartment / flat
+- **№** = number

+
+## Reading Dates in Georgian
+
+Georgian dates use the format: **day + month name + year**
+
+| Georgian Month | Transliteration | Meaning |
+|----------------|-----------------|---------|
+| იანვარი | ia-nva-ri | January |
+| თებერვალი | te-ber-va-li | February |
+| მარტი | mar-ti | March |
+| აპრილი | ap-ri-li | April |
+| მაისი | ma-i-si | May |
+| ივნისი | iv-ni-si | June |
+
+Example: **15 მარტი 2025** = 15 March 2025
+
+## Cultural Note: Georgian Surnames
+
+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.

+
+**Question:** Read the address and answer the questions
+
+Address: **თბილისი, რუსთაველის გამზირი, №8**
+
+1. What city is this in? ___
+2. What is the street type? ___
+3. What is the number? ___
+
+**Answer:**
+
+1. Tbilisi (თბილისი)
+2. Avenue / Boulevard (გამზირი)
+3. 8 (№8)
+
+**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.

+
+- სახელი
+- გვარი
+- მოქალაქეობა
+- პასპორტი
+- ელ-ფოსტა
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- სახელი → first name
+- გვარი → surname
+- მოქალაქეობა → citizenship / nationality
+- პასპორტი → passport
+- ელ-ფოსტა → email
+
+**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."

+**Question:** On the hotel registration form, which field asks for your family name?
+
+**Options:**
+- სახელი
+- გვარი
+- მოქალაქეობა
+- ელ-ფოსტა
+
+**Answer:** 2
+
+**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
+
+## Introduction
+
+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.

+## Cultural Note: Georgian Media
+
+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. Reading Georgian headlines is an excellent way to maintain your language skills while staying informed about Georgia's dynamic political and cultural scene.

+## Practice Exercises
+
+:::exercise{id="ka-read-07-headline-decode" type="fill-in-blank" title="Decode the Headline" skill="text-decoding" objectiveId="obj-read-07-headline-decode"}
+
+**Question:** Translate each headline into English

+2. ახალი მუზეუმი გაიხსნა = A new museum ___
+3. საერთაშორისო შეხვედრა თბილისში = International ___ in Tbilisi
+
+**Answer:**
+
+1. won
+2. opened
+3. meeting
+
+**Explanation:** ნაკრები = national team, გაიმარჯვა = won. მუზეუმი = museum, გაიხსნა = opened. შეხვედრა = meeting. These verb forms (past passive or intransitive past) are common in Georgian news reporting.

+
+**Options:**
+- In a new district of Tbilisi
+- In the Old Town

+- Outside the city
+
+**Answer:** 2
+
+**Explanation:** The passage states: ცენტრი მდებარეობს ძველ ქალაქში — "The center is located in the Old Town." ძველი = old, ქალაქი = town/city, -ში = in. So ძველ ქალაქში = in the Old Town.

+- სიახლეები
+- გაიხსნა
+- ახალი

+- სიახლეები → news
+- გაიხსნა → opened / was opened
+- ახალი → new
+- საერთაშორისო → international
+- მდებარეობს → is located
+
+**Explanation:** სიახლეები comes from სიახლე (novelty/new thing) — literally "new things," hence "news." საერთაშორისო is a compound: საერთო (common/shared) + შორის (between) + ო (suffix) = international.

+## Cultural Note: Reading Georgian Literature
+
+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.
