Signification
A voice that is high in volume.
Contexte culturel
In Armenian markets, having a 'bardzr dzayn' is a professional asset. Vendors compete to be heard, and a loud, clear voice is seen as a sign of fresh goods and honest dealing. Silence is golden in Armenian spiritual life. Using a 'bardzr dzayn' inside a church is a major social faux pas and is considered 'anpateh' (inappropriate). Armenian dinners (Kheyf) are notoriously loud. Multiple people often speak at once with 'bardzr dzayn'. It's not considered rude; it's considered 'ashkhuyzh' (lively). In the capital, 'bardzr dzayn' from cars (loud music) is a common urban phenomenon, often debated in social media as a lack of 'mshakuyt' (culture/manners).
Use the Adverb
If you want to say 'Speak up!', just say 'Բարձր!' (Bardzr!). It's short and effective.
Don't say 'Loud'
Armenian doesn't have a direct 1:1 equivalent for the English word 'loud' that isn't 'bardzr'. Don't look for another word!
