معنی
Polite phrase used when meeting someone for the first time.
زمینه فرهنگی
Armenians value eye contact during introductions. Looking away can be seen as a sign of dishonesty or lack of interest. In Armenian business, the oldest or most senior person is usually introduced first. You should wait for them to offer their hand. Among younger Armenians, the phrase is often shortened to 'Հաճելի է' or even just a warm 'Մերսի' if the other person says it first. In Western Armenian (spoken in Lebanon, USA, etc.), you might hear 'Ուրախ եմ' (I am happy) more frequently than the Eastern 'Հաճելի է.'
The Smile Factor
In Armenia, a sincere smile while saying this phrase goes a long way. It's a culture that values warmth.
Don't Forget the 'E'
Leaving out the 'է' (is) makes the sentence grammatically incomplete. It's a common beginner mistake.
