Usage notes

[edit]
  • This verb is pronounced everywhere as /mɑnd͡zinɛn/ However, in wiktionary, it is also written as მანზინენ (manzinen) for the Artasheni dialect. This is because in Artasheni dialect, the (ż) consonant is a variant of the /z/ phoneme and is observed only after the /n/ phoneme.
