Georgian[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /ɡlandi/, [ɡ̊ɫandi]
  • Hyphenation: გლან‧დი

Noun[edit]

გლანდი (glandi) (plural გლანდები)

  1. tonsil

Usage notes[edit]

This word is usually used in plural, given that there are two tonsils in the human mouth, and in most, if not all cases, both are affected when there is a medical need. Despite the resemblance with the English word gland, the latter is usually translated as ჯირკვალი (ǯirḳvali) and not გლანდი (glandi).
