Bedeutung
Indicating someone else's ownership.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Armenian culture, returning lost items is a matter of high integrity. Using 'Սա քոնն է' with a smile is a common way to build trust in a neighborhood. In Western Armenian communities (Lebanon, USA), you might hear 'Ասիկա քուկդ է'. The sentiment remains the same, but the dialectal flavor changes. Young people in Yerevan often use 'Սա քոնն ա' (slangy version of 'է'). It's very casual and common in cafes. If you praise an item in an Armenian home, the host might say 'Սա քոնն է' as a sign of extreme generosity. It's usually a compliment, not a literal offer to take the furniture home!
The '-ն' Rule
Always add '-ն' to 'քո' when it stands alone as 'yours'.
Watch the Formality
Don't use 'քոնն' with your boss unless you want a very awkward meeting!

Add 'Jan'
Adding 'ջան' (jan) after the phrase makes it sound much more native and warm.
The Gift Gesture
When giving a gift, saying 'Սա քոնն է' is often accompanied by holding the item with both hands as a sign of respect.
