To understand the keyword, we must start with pure linguistics. The English phrase "Pretty in Pink" is an alliterative, rhythmic compliment. Translating it into Georgian requires sacrificing the alliteration for accuracy.

There is an interesting parallel between the aesthetic of Pretty in Pink and Georgian sensibilities. Andie Walsh, played by Molly Ringwald, is celebrated for her DIY fashion sense—she creates her own clothes to express her individuality.

But what happens when you imagine this film qartulad — through Georgian eyes, with Georgian hearts, Tbilisi courtyards instead of Chicago suburbs, and a polyphonic soundtrack instead of New Order?

თუ თქვენ ეძებთ ფრაზას ინტერნეტში, სავარაუდოდ, გსურთ ან ფილმის ქართული ვერსიის პოვნა, ან სოციალურ ქსელში პოსტის დაწერა. აი, ჩვენი რეკომენდაცია:

The suffix in Qartulad turns the noun "Kartuli" (Georgian) into an adverb meaning "in the Georgian way" or "in the Georgian language."

Whether you call it Pretty in Pink or imagine it as Lamazi Vardisfer-shi , the film’s message is universal. The story of a girl trying to bridge two worlds, a best friend stuck in the friend zone, and a crucial fashion choice at a prom works just as well in Tbilisi as it does in Chicago.
