Level 3Sounds Like aba

აბა starts a suggestion, a question or a conclusion, like well then or come on.

How It Works

UseExample
come onაბა (aba), დაიწყე! (Come on, start!)
so, well thenაბა, როგორ იყო? (So, how was it?)
then, a conclusionთუ აქ არ არის, აბა სად არის? (If it's not here, then where is it?)
of course— გინდა? — აბა რა! (Do you want it? — Of course!)

A word like ერთი after აბა softens an order, like just: აბა, ერთი შეხედე! (Come on, just look!)

აბა belongs to friendly talk, not to formal letters.

The tone matters. Said warmly, აბა invites; said sharply, it can sound impatient.
