Toast for women
In the Caucasus, men value, respect and love the weaker sex. Therefore, in those places created a lot of congratulations that are dedicated to women. Here is one beautiful Georgian toast. Listen to the Caucasian parable that has spread all over the world:
One day on a sunny day a snake crawled up to Allah and said: “I'm tired of crawling, I want to take off my scales. Turn me into a woman. And so I can sting people. It’s not necessary to be a snake. ” Allah helped and turned her into a woman. Soon a white dove flew up to him and asked for the same request as the snake. And so it happened. Allah turned a dove into a woman and said: "Go and do good." Since then, there are two women: evil and good. So let’s drink for the good, lovely ladies, who are more than bad and harmful with a black soul.
Toast for love
A lot of poems and songs are written about love. There are probably as many toasts, if not more. They are not only about women, men, but also about a strong feeling. Georgian toasts are famous for their simplicity and beautiful statements. Indeed, in the Caucasus it is not customary to say wishes in a rude manner. Georgia has a beautiful toast about love and family relationships:
He chose a future wife from a dzhigit among three girls who were nice to him. He asked the first: “How much will 3 multiply by 3?”. She answered without hesitation: "Eight." Dzhigit decided that his wife would be too economical. The second girl asked the same question, and she said that it would turn out 9. I understood the dzhigit, that in front of him is a very smart young lady. The third bride replied that 3 would be multiplied by 3 would be 10. The jigit decided that the girl would be generous and that suited him.
And here is the question: “What young lady does a jigit decide to marry? Economical, smart or generous? ” Do not know the answer, yes it is easy. Dzhigit marries that girl, which indicates his heart, and the voice of reason, he did not hear at that moment. So let’s drink for us to always listen to our hearts, especially when it comes to love.

In Georgia, in a car school, an exam asks a student and explains the situation on the road: you are driving along a narrow road, there are high mountains to your left, and a steep and large precipice to your right. Suddenly you saw that a beautiful girl with a terrible old woman was standing right in front of you. Question: what will you push? The student answers: “A terrible old woman.” The teacher says: "Wrong, the brake must be pressed." Let’s drink for the fact that in any, even the most difficult situation, the birthday man does not forget to press the brake in time.
This Georgian birthday toast teaches a man that every person can stop in time, not rush and avoid unpleasant situations. And if a person has a difficult birthday, and an anniversary? What kind of toast to come up with? Read about it later in the article.
Georgian toast for the anniversary
A very long, but clever and instructive congratulation. Listen how beautiful it sounds:
Once upon a time, God gave man only 25 years of life. For some reason, he decided that was enough. God gave the animals (horses, dogs, monkeys) as much as 50 years. However, the man decided that this was not fair, went to the animals and asked for a request. He begged the horse, dog and monkey to give some of his life.
Since then, it has become the custom that the first 25 years a person lives well. He has a happy childhood, carefree youth and no problems. The next 25 years, people work, that is, plow like a horse, not sparing themselves and their strengths. For the next 25 years, man lives like a stray dog. Children left him, many acquaintances forgot about him, no one needed him anymore. For the past 25 years, man has lived in the manner of a monkey. Others laugh at him, because he is an old and feeble old man (old woman). So, let’s drink for our jubilee to live another hundred years not as an animal that no one needs, but as a real person, without worries, problems and hassle. So that children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends never forget about him.
This Georgian birthday toast is with a meaning that many people understand. He teaches to value himself, his closest and dearest people.
Georgian toast to the newlyweds
As a rule, a toastmaster celebration is organized at the wedding. However, guests can entertain, entertain, delight guests and newlyweds with original congratulations. We suggest you prepare a Georgian toast for the wedding. He will help to beautifully congratulate the bride and groom:
Somehow one man died who believed in God and was righteous all his life. However, he so wanted to return to earth, that he asked the Almighty about it. God for his righteousness allowed him to live on. However, before lowering him to the ground, he gave him three chests with gifts, with the words: "Do not open them until you come home." After these words, God brought him down to earth.
This man was walking home, and curiosity prevailed. So he opened the first chest, and from there joy flew out and quickly flew away. He opened the second gift and saw a love that also suddenly ran away. The man did not want to risk a third time. He clasped his chest in his hands and quickly went home with him. Soon he came to his land, went into the house, closed the door tightly, and only then dared to open the third chest. There was also hope, which began to live in the same house and help its master in everything. So let's drink to ensure that our newlyweds never lose their joy, hold on tightly to love and live with hope.
Toast for men
What holidays take place without strong, dexterous, smart defenders? Of course, these are men who also love to say beautiful words at their festive table in their honor. For this, there are Georgian toasts:
- In ancient times, they planted a vine only when a daughter was born in the family. If a son appeared, an oak was planted near the house. So let’s drink to ensure that as many strong and strong oaks grow in every garden, and vineyards bear fruit annually.
- Once, a dzhigit turned out to be with two girls at the same time. They were different. One is blonde, the other is brunette. For some time he talked with the young ladies and noticed that they are completely different. One of them asked: "Which girls do you like more: brunettes or blondes?" To this the dzhigit answered shortly: "Yes." Why do you think he said that? That's right, because he was a real man who did not want to offend the girl. So let's drink for those wonderful qualities that only real men have.
These Georgian toasts are positive and entertaining. However, remember that they can not be told one after another, so that the guests will not get bored. Between toasts, you should always take at least small, but breaks.
Parent Toast
When congratulating a birthday man, they always say beautiful words to him. However, in many countries, including Georgia, parents are not forgotten. After all, it was they who gave birth to the birthday man. We suggest you read the Georgian birthday toast, which is intended not only for the hero of the occasion, but also for his father and mother:
Two friends are talking. One says: “When my husband Gogha communicates poorly with me, and I see no respect on his part, then I promise him to go to the village of my beloved parents. The husband immediately changes and becomes kinder. " Another woman adds: “And in case of disrespect from my husband, I threaten him that I will bring my parents to live with us. Then my Vano becomes not only kinder, but also the most affectionate in the world. ” So let's drink to the fact that our parents are now with us. We are always happy to see them, and especially today, at our festive table.
Conclusion
