Bedeutung
Describing a clear day.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Armenians often use 'Arev' (Sun) as a term of endearment. Calling someone 'Արևս' (My sun) is very common among couples and family. Yerevan is known as the 'Pink City' because of the rosy tuff stone. When it is 'Արևոտ' (sunny), the buildings glow with a unique warmth. For the diaspora, the 'Armenian Sun' is a symbol of the homeland's warmth and resilience, often mentioned in patriotic songs. The sun was personified as the god Mihr. Many Armenian names like 'Arevshat' (Abundant sun) stem from this solar devotion.
Drop the 'It'
Never start a weather sentence with 'Ayn' (It). Just start with the adjective!
The 'e' is essential
Don't forget the 'է' at the end. Without it, you're just saying the word 'sunny' without a verb.

Add 'շատ'
Armenians love emphasis. Say 'Շատ արևոտ է' (It's very sunny) to sound more natural.
Small Talk King
If you don't know what to say to an Armenian neighbor, just point at the sky and say 'Արևոտ է': it works every time.
