뜻
A young toddler or infant.
문화적 배경
The 'Atamhatik' ceremony is a major milestone for a 'փոքր երեխա'. It celebrates the first tooth and predicts the child's future. In the Diaspora, 'փոքր երեխա' is often the focus of language preservation efforts, with parents speaking only Armenian to them to ensure bilingualism. In villages, it's common for a 'փոքր երեխա' to be raised by the entire extended family, including grandparents and aunts. In Yerevan, 'փոքր երեխա' is often seen in 'development centers' (զարգացման կենտրոն), which are popular extracurricular activities for toddlers.
Use the Diminutive
If you want to sound more like a native speaker, use 'փոքրիկ' when talking to the child directly.
Gender Neutrality
Don't look for a masculine or feminine version. 'Երեխա' covers everyone!
