Signification
Confirming accuracy.
Contexte culturel
Armenians often repeat 'Ճիշտ է' twice or three times ('Ճիշտ է, ճիշտ է') to show they are really listening and agree strongly. In Western Armenian (spoken in Lebanon, USA, etc.), it is pronounced 'Jisht e' (with a 'J' sound), but the meaning remains identical. In meetings, saying 'Ճիշտ է' is a sign of respect for a senior colleague's expertise. On Armenian Facebook or Instagram, you will often see 'Ճիշտ է' as a comment on inspirational quotes or political news.
The Double Nod
When saying 'Ճիշտ է', give a slight double nod. It makes you look much more like a native speaker.
Avoid 'Right' for Directions
Remember, if you tell a taxi driver 'Ճիշտ', he might think you are agreeing with his music choice, not telling him where to turn!

Use 'Ճիշտ է' as a 'backchannel'—a sound you make to show you are still listening during a long story.
Negation
If you disagree, 'Ճիշտ չէ' is polite but firm. Use it sparingly with elders.
