뜻
Indicating someone else's ownership.
문화적 배경
In Armenian culture, returning lost items is a matter of high integrity. Using 'Սա քոնն է' with a smile is a common way to build trust in a neighborhood. In Western Armenian communities (Lebanon, USA), you might hear 'Ասիկա քուկդ է'. The sentiment remains the same, but the dialectal flavor changes. Young people in Yerevan often use 'Սա քոնն ա' (slangy version of 'է'). It's very casual and common in cafes. If you praise an item in an Armenian home, the host might say 'Սա քոնն է' as a sign of extreme generosity. It's usually a compliment, not a literal offer to take the furniture home!
The '-ն' Rule
Always add '-ն' to 'քո' when it stands alone as 'yours'.
Watch the Formality
Don't use 'քոնն' with your boss unless you want a very awkward meeting!

Add 'Jan'
Adding 'ջան' (jan) after the phrase makes it sound much more native and warm.
The Gift Gesture
When giving a gift, saying 'Սա քոնն է' is often accompanied by holding the item with both hands as a sign of respect.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, in casual conversation in Armenia, 'ա' often replaces 'է'. It's very common but not for formal writing.
They both mean 'yours'. 'Քոնն' is used before a vowel (like 'է'), and 'քոնը' is used before a consonant or at the end of a sentence.
You must use the plural: 'Սա ձերն է'.
Yes, 'Սա' is for things close to you. If it's further away, use 'Դա'.
No, 'Սա' is for objects. For people, you would use 'Սա իմ ընկերն է' (This is my friend), but you wouldn't say 'This person is yours' using this exact phrase.
Yes, it's better to use the formal 'Սա Ձերն է' with strangers.
Just raise your voice at the end: 'Սա քոնն է՞'.
Use 'Սրանք քոնն են' (These are yours).
No, Armenian does not have grammatical gender.
Yes, that means 'This is your thing', but 'Սա քոնն է' is more natural.
