Leaves alternate glossy magazine, I came across an article titled "Alaverdi, Georgia!".Hmm ... I wonder.Article not interest me, because, most likely, it was the new "travel notes" about the unforgettable Georgian hospitality, welcoming and unique nature.Beautiful pictures and vivid epithets still can not describe the feelings and emotions that you experience when your eyes see the endless mountains, narrow streets and "hanging" in the sky the house, which seem to hold due to some unknown force ... You can describe the table,a chair, a painting, but it is impossible to portray the air ... But now is not about that.Drew the attention of the word "Alaverdi".More than once I heard him, "know nothing, I know not manage," what it means.Well, if there is a question - the answer is somewhere around ... So, "Alaverdi", meaning ... I decided to get to the truth. «Alaverdi": meaning
If you do not know the meaning of a word, the first thing to do - is to seek help from the Dictionary.It is an axiom.I appeal, knocking on closed doors.The first opened the "Explanatory Dictionary of Russian Language", by Dal VI, then "Great Dictionary of the Russian Language" edited by S. Kuznetsova, even later - "Dictionary of Russian language" Ozhegova SI and many others.In answer to the question - "Alaverdi value" - they were unanimous: the word is not found.How so?Word is, but no one had heard of him.I decided not to give up and ask for help to the spelling dictionary of the Russian language.He received me warmly and said that there is still the word "Alaverdi".According to him, it is a noun neuter indeclinable and unchanging, with the accent on the last syllable.He suggested, and a little research on the topic: "Alaverdi translation".It turns out that it is in the Russian language in Georgia, but the basis - the Arab-Turkic roots: allah verdi, which literally sounds like "God has given."In the old days it meant a wish "God be with you," or "Give me your God."Currently, the first meaning, its base is directly related to the centuries-old traditions of the Georgian table.As you know, holding a dinner party in Georgia is entirely entrusted to Toastmasters.He is the king and god.He proposed a toast, and he alone decides who, when and why the subsequent utters a word.As a rule, it is a person, who gathered near the company, who proclaimed it touches, or the person for whom warm words are pronounced, and so he has something to say.However, we will not go into the intricacies of this art.Let's say only one thing - toastmaster utters the magic word "Alaverdi" and "baton" picks up the next speaker.In addition to direct value, many words in language development appear figurative meanings, which to some extent overlap with the major.Thus, recently the lexical unit "Alaverdi" has expanded its borders, and is used in other meanings: to support someone's initiative to counter word reciprocate response.Of course, while this issue thoroughly and deeply studied by linguists and is in serious dictionaries is not an article entitled "Alaverdi, meaning" not worth the risk and to use the word in its secondary meaning, or at least be put quotes.Otherwise, you put yourself at risk to be mocked.Although, if there are no rules, "Who are the judges» ...
can say that within the non-professional study we discussed the question "Alaverdi value."However, I want to step back a little and listen to how the word sounds nice.Fascinating.I do not know, but I think, in this one small word, and heard, and inhaled and exhaled air this unique Georgia ....
