Lyn, you're doing god's work! On behalf of every Georgian thank you for helping to spread our culture and poesy.
Big thank you from personally me and probably from the rest of the people of Georgia.

By translating ''The Knight in the Panther's Skin" you've done priceless work, many thanks to you!
Hands down best translation ever. Underlines that you should know language to which you are translating not other way around
Thank you, Saba. I appreciate the comment.
I am currently not in Georgia, studying abroad, but I am Georgian. It is always nice to re-read some Georgian poems to return to those beloved places once again but, today I wanted to find "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" in English as I needed to tell about my country and its culture on one of the lectures, so I ended up finding your translation, ended up finding your TH-cam channel and I am really happy that I am able to say thank you to you for such an amazing work. Thank you from me personally and from whole Georgia, they don't even know what kind of a job you have done.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Thanks to you for this work!
Thank you so much. Please Check out other Georgian translations by putting v Lyn Coffin in the Amazon search bar. All best wishes
You are the best author in the world. The one who translated that book into your native language is fascinating. I feel what you said. I certainly appreciate everything for us. I'd better give nice words to you. Welcome to Georgia! Give my regards!
Dear Frank
I really appreciate h your kind words I am at a very low point and your kind encouragement means a lot , I can tell you. Thank you very much!
Thank you again and again Could you try to reach wolfram Sanderson with your comment? I have lost touch with him. Thank you very much bn f for your comment and any help you might be in locating will Jordan
thank you for this video, Shota was a great thinker, an intellectual, he wrote this amazing, epic poem that has great ideas in it, once again thanks for appreciation. also those who say that it should be tiger and not panther, tbh in old Georgian "vepkhi" means a cheetah and not a tiger
Thank you, Kristen. I didn't know that (about cheetah). I am double glad that I chose the generic term. I wish you all the best.
Awesooooomeeee!
Marina- I didn't see your comment until now. Thank you for responding. You are Awesoooooommeee, as well!
What I would like to know is, why "vepxis txaosani" is translated as "knight in a panther skin", not that I don't think panther is dangerous because they sure are, but there is a big difference between a panther and a tiger, this is about a tiger and a knight, how did panther get in there?
Dear Noah- Thanks for commenting. "Panther" includes "tiger"- being any of the large cats - I thought it better to allow for the various representatons. A tiger, whose generic name is "panthera tigris" is only the orange and black striped cat. So if you "see" "vepis txaosani" as a tiger- you're "seeing" one representation of a panther. That's how panther "got in there."
In modern Georgian Tiger is Vepkhvi-ვეფხვი, but in old Georgian it is spelled Vepkhi-ვეფხი, which is more of a word for panther than tiger.
საერთოდ "ვეფხი" ძველ ქართულში ავაზას შესატყვისია და არა ვეფხვის
Thank you all for replies, I understand word terminology and translation and all, thing is I have seen images and painting representations of this story and in all images the knight is holding up and battling a tiger, I have never seen an image or painting depicting this story and poem with knight fighting a panther.
So it still makes no sense depicting image of knight fighting tiger while referring to the same tiger as a panther.
მოიცათ ახლა... ლომ-ვეფხის დახოცვის ამბავი რომ არის მოთხრობილი ლომის და ავაზას დახოცვაა? რამენაირად ერთმანეთის შესატყვისია ლომი და ავაზა? ვით კატასა ვხოცდი ლომთაო. კაცი ლომს კლავდა და უცებ ლომის მესამედი წონის მხეცის მოკვლაზე ჩამოქვეითდა? თუ ლომიც სხვა რამეს ერქვა ძველ ქართულში? :) მოკლედ ვეფხვი არის ვეფხვი და შოთაც ვეფხსვს გულისხმობდა და არა ფისუნია კატას. თარგმანიც არასწორია.
I'm brazilian and, as could be expected, can't read Georgian xD But I'm very interested in epic poetry and your english version of the poem was the means for me to study this most interesting Georgian medieval literary achievement. I only wish to let here my sincere acknowledgment for your effort.
Thank you get much. See my comment above. I also translated an anthology of other Georgian pets and was part of a zurabashvili anthology
@@lyncoffin I'll be looking forward for your other translations and for more Georgian literature! All the best :)
