მაინც

Still and Anyway

Level 3Sounds Like maints

მაინც means still or anyway, and also at least.

How It Works

Meaning	Example
anyway, still	წვიმს, მაგრამ მაინც (maints) მივდივართ. (It's raining, but we're going anyway.)
at least	ერთხელ მაინც ნახე. (See it at least once.)

Don't mix it up with ჯერ კიდევ, the still of time: ჯერ კიდევ წვიმს (it's still raining). მაინც is the still of in spite of.

The at least meaning often follows ერთი, ცოტა or a number: ერთი ჭიქა მაინც დალიე (have at least one glass).

In questions, მაინც can show impatience: რა გინდა მაინც? (What do you want, anyway?)

მაინც never changes its form, and it usually comes right before the verb.
