意味
Congratulations on someone's arrival or success.
文化的背景
In the Diaspora (USA, France, Russia), this phrase is a 'shibboleth'—a way to identify someone who truly knows the culture versus someone who just knows a few words. It is used heavily during repatriation events. In the capital, the phrase is sometimes used slightly more casually for any good news, like getting a ticket to a sold-out concert. In villages, saying 'Achkd luys' is often followed by bringing a small gift or 'magharich' (a treat) to celebrate the light. Due to mandatory service, the return of a soldier is a massive event. 'Achkd luys' in this context often brings people to tears.
The Response is Key
If you want to impress Armenians, don't just say 'Thank you' when they say this to you. Use 'Ko achkn el luys' (Your eye also light).
Plural for Respect
When in doubt, use 'Achknerd luys'. It's safer and more polite.
