Significado
Assuring someone that things are okay.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is often accompanied by a small nod. Armenians value resilience, so even if things are slightly difficult, they will often say 'Amen inch kargin e' to avoid complaining. In the Diaspora (USA, France, etc.), this phrase is a linguistic bridge. Even those who don't speak fluent Armenian often remember this phrase to communicate with elderly relatives. The 'Kargin' brand (Kargin Haghordum, Kargin Serial) made this word iconic. It represents a specific era of Armenian post-independence humor. In Armenian business, 'Amen inch kargin e' is a standard confirmation. However, if a problem arises later, it might be seen as having been too optimistic.
The 'A' Ending
In Yerevan, you will hear 'Amen inch kargin A'. This is the same thing as 'E'. Don't be confused!
Don't over-pluralize
Never say 'Amen inchER'. 'Amen inch' is already a collective 'everything'.
