A1 Expression خنثی

Ճիշտն ասած

ճիշտն ասած

To tell the truth

معنی

Used before being honest about something.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Armenians value 'ankeghtsutyun' (sincerity) but also 'hyurasirutyun' (hospitality). This phrase balances the two. In the capital, this phrase is used rapidly as a filler, almost like 'um' or 'like' in English, but with more meaning. Western Armenian speakers might use 'Շիտակը ըսելով' (Shidage uselov) as an equivalent, though 'Ճիշտն ըսած' is also understood. Using this phrase in a meeting shows you are a 'straight shooter'—someone who doesn't hide problems.

🎯

The Pause

⚠️

Don't over-honesty

If you use it too much, people might think you're usually lying! Limit it to 2-3 times per conversation.
