Armenia is an ancient country with established traditions and hospitality that has already become legendary throughout the world. It has its own customs and beautiful traditions associated with inviting and meeting guests at home. But today we will not talk about the Armenian foundations, but about the greeting itself. "Barev Dzes" is a kind of password of benevolence, openness towards people. In Russian it sounds like “hello”, but it has its own meaning. What is a greeting in Armenian, and how is it remarkable?

Armenian folklore is closely related to the reception of guests, around which a whole system of traditions and customs has long been formed. The greeting "Barev Dzes" plays a special role. Warm words are pronounced, entering the house, meeting a familiar person on the street, wishing to cheer up casual passers-by.

The simplified Russian translation of the expression is “hello”, but in Armenian the mentioned construction is much more complicated. Let's understand each lexical unit separately:

  • the word "barev" is a fusion of two bases - "bari" ("good"), "arev" ("sun");
  • "Dzes" translates as "you" or "you".

Literally: "Good sun to you!" If in Russian the welcoming construction “hello” is a wish of good health, in Armenian it is a good, sunny day, not only externally, but also internally: the state of mind should be like this. Then the person will be healthy, happy, satisfied with life, smiling, positive, successful.

Linking words to real situations

The design varies depending on the situation. The most common options are:

  • "Barev dzes", a classic greeting appropriate for acquaintances and strangers, a universal option;
  • "Barev dzes argeli", a respectful construction, translated as "good sun to you, dear", is used for older people, just as a sign of special respect;
  • “Barev”, a simplified version, like the Russian “hello”, is how good friends greet, in most cases the word “barev” is quite enough.

Welcoming constructions are a special manifestation of a benevolent attitude, a friendly disposition between people. They are part of the rituals of hospitality, often found in folk tales, folklore works.

Traditional greeting and goodbye

When you greet a person in Armenia, you wish him much more than just health. An expression includes many meanings that are fully understood only by native speakers. The named structure is not motionless: it can transform, change, focusing on the conditions of the surrounding reality. In fact, "barev dzes" here is a semantic basis, the nuances of which emphasize additional lexical units.

For example, "bari luys" means a common morning greeting ("luys" - "light", the Russian-language analogue "good morning"), "bari or" - the same as "good afternoon", "bari ereko", as you might guess , "good evening".

If “barev dzes” is “hello” in Armenian, what are the words to say goodbye? Of course, even here the hospitable people could not do without beautiful linguistic constructions with sacred meaning. As with many other developed languages, there are many analogies to the usual "goodbye". Several variants:

  • "Ttesutyun" - a neutral form of farewell, "goodbye";
  • "Araimzh" corresponds to more friendly communication, it translates approximately as "bye";
  • "Khadzhokhutyun" is used when parting for an indefinite period, sometimes even forever ("goodbye");
  • “Minch andipum” is a semantic counterbalance to the previous expression, reflecting the hope for a short separation (“see you soon”);
  • "Enamber spasum em mer ajord andipmane" translates as "looking forward to our next meeting."

The Armenian language is characterized by numerous lexemes related to the traditional life of the people, the peculiarities of the worldview, the attitude towards oneself and the people around it. Understanding what "barev dzes" means, we touched upon a whole layer of culture, which found expression in the language system.

When talking about the greeting phrases, it is impossible not to mention other ways to speak Armenian “hello » , because this is a reflection of the soul of the people, clearly demonstrating how hospitable and friendly the country is. If you want to add warmth or special respect, use the word jan, which means dear. It is one of the most frequent in the speech of Armenians.

When heading to a sunny country, the first step is to learn the welcome constructs. “Barev” will be enough, but it’s good to know other options that can be used depending on the situation:

  • "Barev dzes" - hello;
  • "Barev (someone's name) jan" - hello dear
  • "Barev dzes argeli" - hello, dear
  • "Bari or" - good afternoon;
  • "Bari luiz" - good morning.

There are many ways to greet in Armenian. This article lists the whole variety of Armenian greetings, as well as describes the meaning that Armenians put into each of them.

Armenian language is related to the Indo-European language family... Its foundations were laid around 405-406. n. e. priest and scientist Mesrop Mashtots.

A little about the peculiarities of the Armenian language

In 2005, the Armenian alphabet turned exactly 1600 years old; this event was massively celebrated all over the world. Only about 6.5 million people speak Armenian. Most of them make up the population of the territory of Armenia and Azerbaijan, a smaller part - emigrating from there to other countries.

Armenian, being a language with ancient written traditions, has many distinctive features took from other languages \u200b\u200bof the Indo-European group, many of which have long been dead. Thus, thanks to him, many clues have been preserved, by which one can study the features of ancient culture. There are not many countries where the old traditions are followed with the same diligence with which they are observed in Armenia. The current population very organically weaves them into their life.

Barev Dzes and other greetings in Armenian

Greetings in Armenian there are quite a few. Here are the main ones:

  • barev;
  • wohjuin;
  • won eu.

Usually, meeting a familiar person on the street, Armenians say to him “Barev Dzes!”, Which in approximate translation into Russian means simple “Hello!”, And in literal and literal terms - “Good sun to you!”. "Bari" means "good", "arev" - "sun", "dzes" - "you, you." To add a little respect to your greeting, you can say: "Barev dzes argeli!" "Argeli" means "respected". There is also an abbreviated the variant "barev dzesa" is a simple "barev", in most situations it is enough. It can also be replaced with the word "vokhchuyn".

In those situations when you need to fleetingly ask a person how he is doing, that is, ask a question in the spirit of “how are you?”, “How are you?”, The address “vontses” will come in handy. "Barev vonts?" - "Hello how are you?". If a person is not just an acquaintance, but at least somewhat close, a special treatment is used, depending on the gender of the person who is going to greet - or "Vontses ahper jan?", Which means "How are you, brother?" , or “Vontses kuyrik jan?” meaning “How are you, sister?”. When addressing a girl, Armenians sometimes say “Vontses sirun jan”. "Siryun" is translated as "beautiful". When addressing a child, adults, as a rule, tell him: “Barev akhchik dzhan” if it is a girl or “Barev tga dzhan” if it is a boy. When referring to an elderly person, they use the word "tatik" - if it is a grandmother, "daddy" - if they greet grandfather.

You can also choose a greeting in Armenian based on the current time of day. “Barium Luys” should be used in the morning, “Luys” means light. “Bari op”, where “op” is “day,” as you might guess, is a common daytime greeting. The evening greeting sounds something like "Barii ereko", translated into Russian - "Good evening." To wish a person good night, you need to say "Baria Gisher".

After the Armenian greets you, he, in most cases, will ask something like: "Inch ka chka?" Has anything new happened in your life? " Armenians also have a special tradition - to show interest in the life of all family members of the interlocutor after greeting him. It is considered uncivilized to go to the heart of the matter right away, so you need to be prepared in advance for a detailed questioning, and only after that - a discussion of the question of interest, him or you yourself.

Tasib

Armenians are basically very hospitable and friendly people... There is even a special tradition associated with this national peculiarity - the so-called "tasib".

Despite the stormy temperament and hot temper, the Armenians welcome guests in their home with great cordiality. Regardless of the status of the guest in Armenian society, the hosts surround him with attention and honors in every possible way, willingly provide a lodging for the night if necessary. The table set for guests is usually bursting with all kinds of treats. “Eat bread” is a phrase that calls guests to the table.

Briefly about the family traditions of Armenians

Any Armenian unit of society is built strictly hierarchically; each family member is obliged to maintain respectful relations with other members. Elders are respected In a special way, these foundations are absorbed by Armenian children along with their mother's milk, and are consolidated in the process of observing how each member behaves in relation to the other. As a rule, responsibilities between relatives are clearly divided.

In general, the older members actively care for the younger members, and the younger members, in return, treat the older members, if not with warmth, then at least with respect. The Armenian people are a very close-knit community, not only when it comes to close relatives. Any Armenian always knows where and how one can find members of his family, no matter how distant they are, tries to keep in touch with him.

    Thank you so much for the very useful information in the article. Everything is stated very clearly. Feels like a lot of work has been done to analyze the eBay store

    • Thanks to you and other regular readers of my blog. Without you, I would not have been motivated enough to devote a lot of time to running this site. My brains are arranged like this: I like to dig deep, organize disparate data, try what no one has done before, or did not look from this angle. It is a pity that only our compatriots, because of the crisis in Russia, are by no means up to shopping on eBay. They buy on Aliexpress from China, as goods are several times cheaper there (often at the expense of quality). But online auctions eBay, Amazon, ETSY will easily give the Chinese a head start on the range of branded items, vintage items, handicrafts and various ethnic goods.

      • Next

        It is your personal attitude and analysis of the topic that is valuable in your articles. Do not leave this blog, I often look here. There should be many of us. Email me I recently received an offer to teach me how to trade on Amazon and eBay. And I remembered your detailed articles about these bargaining. area I read it all over again and concluded that the courses are a scam. I haven't bought anything on eBay myself. I am not from Russia, but from Kazakhstan (Almaty). But we, too, do not need extra spending. I wish you the best of luck and take care of yourself in the Asian region.

  • It is also pleasant that eBay's attempts to russify the interface for users from Russia and the CIS countries have begun to bear fruit. After all, the overwhelming majority of citizens of the countries of the former USSR are not strong in knowledge of foreign languages. No more than 5% of the population know English. There are more among young people. Therefore, at least the interface in Russian is a great help for online shopping on this marketplace. Ebey did not follow the path of his Chinese counterpart Aliexpress, where a machine (very clumsy and incomprehensible, sometimes causing laughter) translation of the description of goods is performed. I hope that at a more advanced stage in the development of artificial intelligence, high-quality machine translation from any language to any in a matter of seconds will become a reality. So far we have this (a profile of one of the sellers on ebay with a Russian interface, but an English description):
