Bedeutung
Indicating something will happen shortly.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Armenian Time' means 'Soon' can be flexible. If a party starts at 7:00, and someone says they are coming 'soon' at 7:15, they might arrive at 7:45. In Armenian business, 'Շուտով' is used to maintain a positive relationship even when a deadline is tight. It is a polite way to say 'it's a priority.' Western Armenian speakers also use 'Շուտով', though they might use different verb conjugations (e.g., 'պիտի գամ' instead of 'կգամ'). Armenian TV channels use 'Շուտով' as a standard bumper between shows to keep viewers tuned in for upcoming content.
The 'K' Connection
Always pair 'Շուտով' with the 'կ-' prefix on your verbs to sound like a native speaker.
Don't use for speed
If you want someone to hurry up, say 'Արագ!' (Arag), not 'Շուտով!'
