ուղիղ գնացեք

Go straight

Giving directions.

🌍

문화적 배경

Armenians often use hand gestures when saying 'Ուղիղ գնացեք'. A flat hand moving forward is the standard accompaniment. In Yerevan, directions are often given relative to 'Opera' or 'Republic Square'. You might hear 'From Opera, go straight'. Western Armenian speakers (often in the Diaspora) might use 'Շիտակ' (Shitak) instead of 'Ուղիղ' (Ughigh). In villages, 'straight' might mean following a winding dirt road that doesn't have intersections, rather than a geometrically straight line.

💡

Use your hands

Armenians are visual. Pointing while saying 'Ughigh' makes you much easier to understand.

⚠️

The 'GH' sound

Don't pronounce 'gh' like a hard 'g'. It should be soft and raspy in the back of your throat.
