Bedeutung
Someone with a kind character.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Mardyutiun' (Humanity) is the core of being a 'lav mard'. It involves being hospitable and putting others before yourself. In the Armenian Diaspora, calling someone a 'lav mard' often implies they are active in the community and help preserve Armenian culture. In villages, a 'lav mard' is someone who helps their neighbors with the harvest or during difficult winters without being asked. Even in business, Armenians prefer to work with a 'lav mard' over a 'smart' person if they have to choose, as trust is paramount.
The Ultimate Compliment
If you want to make an Armenian friend for life, tell them their parent is a 'lav mard'. It's the highest form of respect.
Plural Trap
Never say 'mardner'. It's a dead giveaway that you're a beginner. Always use 'mardik'.
