‘Hi Varaz, how are you?’
‘Not bad.’ = vad nē ham.
‘Will you go to the pub with us?’
‘I should stay home tonight, because I’m at work. I should work from home.’
‘But it's a holiday today! How do you work everyday like this? Don’t you get tired from it all?’
‘I can’t rest now. I should finish the work I have at hand (/I’m busy with) as soon as possible.’
‘OK, but what can I do for you?’
‘Nothing, I should just finish this work as soon as possible. Now tell me, are you going by car or by the subway?’
‘If you lend us your car, we’d like to go by your car!’
‘My car doesn’t work and you can’t take it. I’m sorry!’
‘OK, so we’ll go by the subway, because it’s easier.’
‘Which mall do you want to go to tonight?’
‘To that one which was recently opened on the Aduran street. They say it’s a nice place.’
‘How long are you going to stay there?’
‘We don’t know, but we certainly will go back home before midnight.’
‘Why do you go to the pub every day?’
‘Because there we can meet and know new people and talk about every subject.’
‘OK, do whatever seems better to you. Do you know where the Metro station here is?’
‘Not exactly, please tell me.’
‘From here go straight ahead, then turn right. There you’ll see the Metro station.’
‘OK, thanks a lot, good bye.’
'Goodbye.’
