A formal greeting used for everyone.
Contexto cultural
Greeting is a sign of respect. Not greeting someone, especially an elder, is considered rude. Diaspora Armenians often use 'Բարև ձեզ' to connect with their heritage and other Armenians. Professionalism is key. 'Բարև ձեզ' is the standard way to start any business meeting. In rural areas, people often greet everyone they pass on the street, even strangers.
Smile!
Armenians value a warm smile when greeting. It makes the 'Բարև ձեզ' much more effective.
Don't overthink it
If you accidentally say 'Բարև' to a stranger, they will likely be forgiving because you are a foreigner.
