Signification
Someone with a lot of money.
Contexte culturel
In Armenia, wealth is often associated with the 'Oligarch' era of the 90s and 2000s, but there is a growing respect for 'self-made' rich people in the tech sector. In the Armenian Diaspora (US, France, etc.), 'harust mardik' are often the pillars of the community, funding schools and churches. Historically, being a 'harust mard' was dangerous during the early Soviet years due to 'dekulakization' (un-possessing the wealthy). In Armenian tales, the 'harust mard' is often contrasted with the 'poor but wise' peasant.
Plurality
Always remember the plural is 'mardik'. Saying 'mardner' is the most common giveaway that you are a beginner.
Politeness
Calling someone a 'harust mard' to their face can be awkward. Use 'հաջողակ' (successful) to be more polite.
