gaumarjos -- cheers. This is said after toasts at the many traditional Georgian feasts (supra) and literally means "victory to it". I learned one of the Georgian declensions off of this word:
gaumarjot - victory to them
gagimarjos - victory to you
gagimarjot - victory to you (pl.)
gagvimarjos - victory to me (somewhat impolite)
gagvimarjot - victory to us
It took a while of saying "gaumarjos" while the table around me was chorusing "gagimarjot" for this all to sink in. And in the meantime they tell me my pronunciation (specifically my Americanized extra-long diphthongy vowels) is quite funny.
