Georgian letter ტt'ari · /tʼ/

How it sounds

English has no such sound, and it's the one to watch: it isn't the English t. Close your throat, say t, and let it pop out sharply with no puff of air. The English t in "top" is თ instead.

• დ — the same sound, but voiced, like d
• თ — the English t, with a puff of air instead of the sharp closure
