Weather & Climate

1. დღეს ძალიან ცხელა, არა?

   Dghes dzalian tskhela, ara?

   It's hot today, isn't it?

   Usage

   Weather conversation in Georgia

   Grammar Note

   Sentence-final "არა?" is a tag question meaning "right?" / "isn't it?". "ცხელა" means "it is hot" (weather)

2. ალბათ წვიმა მოვა

   Albat ts'vima mova

   It looks like it will rain

   Usage

   When rain seems likely

   Grammar Note

   "Albat" from Arabic "albatta" (certainly) — means "probably". Georgian has Arabic loanwords

3. ძლიერი ქარიშხალი ახლოვდება

   Dzlieri karishkhali akhlovdeba

   A strong storm is approaching

   Usage

   Warning about an approaching storm

   Grammar Note

   "Qarishkhali" means "storm"; "ძლიერი" (strong) modifies it and "ახლოვდება" (is approaching) completes the warning. Common in forecasts and alerts on the Black Sea coast

4. დღეს გრილია, არა?

   Dghes grilia, ara?

   It's cool today, isn't it?

   Usage

   Sharing appreciation for cool weather

   Grammar Note

   "Grili" = cool/cold. Georgia has mountainous areas with cool climates

5. ამინდის პროგნოზი მითხარით

   Amindis p'rognozi mitkharit

   Please tell me the weather forecast

   Usage

   Politely asking for the weather forecast

   Grammar Note

   "P'rognozi" from Greek/Latin "prognosis". Georgian borrows from European languages. The "მ-" at the front of "მითხარით" marks "to me" — without it the request has no recipient

6. მზისგან დამცავი კრემი გჭირდებათ?

   Mzisgan damtsavi k'remi gch'irdebat?

   Do you need sunscreen?

   Usage

   Ask on sunny days

   Grammar Note

   "Mze" is the native Georgian word for sun

7. ქოლგა წავიღო?

   Kolga ts'avigho?

   Should I bring an umbrella?

   Usage

   Before going out in uncertain weather

   Grammar Note

   In "წა-ვ-ი-ღ-ო" the "ვ-" marks the 1st-person subject; a subjunctive used as a question means "shall I …?". Western Georgia (e.g., Batumi) is extremely rainy — umbrellas are essential

8. მშრალი სეზონი როდის არის?

   Mshrali sezoni rodis aris?

   When is the dry season?

   Eastern Georgia (Tbilisi) has dry summers (July–August). Western Georgia is rainy year-round

   Ts'vimis sezoni rodis aris?

   When is the rainy season?

   Batumi gets roughly 2,400–2,700 mm of rain a year; the western coast is rainy all year
