Foreign learners of Georgian should be aware of the term but not take offense if it is applied to their early attempts—it is typically meant as a light-hearted nudge toward improvement, not an insult.

The quintessential Georgian supra is a sacred ritual led by a tamada (toastmaster). Farzi Qartulad is when the tamada googles toasts on his phone, when the wine is cheap boxed plonk served in a vintage clay pitcher, and when everyone is secretly calculating how to leave early without offending the host.

(which translates to "Fake" or "Counterfeit") is a high-stakes black comedy crime thriller.
