When to use it

Use 'არა' when you want to refuse something or indicate disagreement. It can be used in both casual and formal conversations. It is a fundamental word in Georgian and is essential for clear communication.

Say it out loud, get corrected

Reading it is not the same as saying it. Practice "No" and thousands more with an AI coach that listens.

Examples in Georgian

არ მინდა.I don't want it.
არა, ეს არ არის სწორი.No, this is not correct.
Common mistake
Learners often confuse 'არა' with 'დიახ' (yes), so it's important to remember that 'არა' is strictly for negation.

The fastest way to remember it

Vocabulary you only read fades fast. Vocabulary you say out loud sticks. Hear არა, repeat it a few times, then use it in a real sentence. SPAIKING lets you practice exactly that, speaking Georgian with a coach that corrects your pronunciation in real time. You can start with two free conversations.
