Thanks so very much Alenika and Bill. Alenika, I am a little confused about "genacvale" , does that not mean friend? It is Dear? Just asking to make sure thanks.

It's common Georgian word. It is nice polite word, can be used to everyone. It's not exactly like dear in English, not this private. Some people in Georgia use it to everyone, others - to none.
Georgians generally use nice words to each other. It's part of culture. When speaking in Russian they sometimes also use the words they used to use in Georgian, translating it directly to Russian. For example Georgian men can address stranger woman with word Dear (дорогая) which creates sometimes unexpected angry reaction. While this is just part of culture.

Therefore yes, genacvale is just a nice polite word, can be used to everyone. Doesn't mean there is close relationship between people.

Sakvarelo = Love also can be used to anyone, but in this case usually friends. Or it can be part of family, not a stranger. That is, can be used to stranger too but in case when stranger is a kid.

Another cRaZy dialog ............this is from a book, I didn't
make it up myself

A foreigner approaches a Georgian on the streets of Tblisi and
addresses him in polite form.

Foreign Guy        uk' acravad, tkven kartveli xom arbrijandebit?  
                          Excuse me you wouldn't be a Georgian would you?

Georgian Guy     diax, me kartveli gaxlav vart
                          Yes this is Georgia what do you think (sorry Bill gets carried away)
                          Yes I am Georgian

Foreign Guy       ra kargia! me inglisheligaxlav vart, da es cen i coli gaxlavt
                         Great, I am English, and this is my wife. (sorry English guys I copied from the book)

Georgian Guy     jalian sasiamovno a sad mibrjan debit?
                         Who cares, she is fat (sorry Bill got carried away again)
                         It is a great pleasure to meet you. Where are you going?

Foreign Guy       Centrsi mivdivart, magram sad aris net'av?!
                         I want to exchange my wife since she is fat (not really)
                         We are going to the center but where is it, pray (tell)

ok, that is the lesson for today hopefully nobody causes an international crisis from this.

 ukacravad, tkven kartveli brdzandebit?    or ( xom are brdzandebit?)    I think   dz is better than J  becouse  in georgian there are both dz and j , and they sound in different way.

diax, me kartveli gaxlavart.
 
ra kargia! me inglisheligaxlav vart, da es cen i coli gaxlavt  =   ( better)  -sasiamovnoa! me ingliseli  var, da es chemi colia

jalian sasiamovno a sad mibrjan debit =  dzalian sasiamovnoa. sad mibrdzandebit?
