معنی
Asking for a reason.
زمینه فرهنگی
Armenians often use 'Inchu' as a way to show hospitality. If you don't take more food, they ask 'Inchu?' to make sure you are satisfied. In the capital, the informal 'Inchi?' is almost more common than 'Inchu?' in street speech. Western Armenian speakers also use 'Inchu', but the pronunciation of the 'ch' sound might be slightly softer. In poetry, 'Inchu' is often used to address God or fate in a lamenting tone.
The Question Mark
Always remember that the question mark (՞) goes on the 'u'. Writing it at the end of the sentence is the most common beginner mistake.
Don't be too blunt
Asking 'Inchu?' repeatedly can sound aggressive. Try adding 'Կներեք' (Sorry) before it.
