Bedeutung
Said to someone eating or drinking.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Food is never just food; it is 'Hats u Jur' (Bread and Water). Saying 'Anush lini' acknowledges the sacredness of this sustenance. In the capital, you'll hear this in every cafe. It's a sign of 'Yerevantsi' politeness to say it to the table next to you if you make eye contact. Western Armenians might use 'Anush ellah' (Western dialect) instead of 'Anush lini', but the sentiment remains identical. In villages, the phrase is often followed by an invitation to join the meal. 'Anush lini, hametseq!'
The Water Rule
Always say it when someone drinks water. It's the mark of a true connoisseur of Armenian culture.
Don't be a robot
Say it with a smile. It's a warm blessing, not a formal requirement.
