Significado
To get or obtain something.
Contexto cultural
In Armenia, 'acquiring' a university degree is seen as a family achievement, not just an individual one. People will often say 'We acquired a diploma' referring to their child. In Armenian business, 'ձեռք բերել' is used in contracts to avoid the bluntness of 'գնել' (buy), which can sometimes feel too transactional. For the Armenian Diaspora, 'ձեռք բերել' is often used in the context of regaining or 'acquiring' the native language after generations of not speaking it. With the rise of the IT sector in Yerevan, 'ձեռք բերել' is the standard translation for 'download' or 'get' in app stores.
Use it for CVs
Always use 'ձեռք բերել' when listing skills on an Armenian resume. It sounds much more professional than 'գիտեմ' (I know).
Don't decline 'Ձեռք'
Keep 'ձեռք' in its dictionary form. Don't say 'ձեռքով բերել' unless you literally mean 'bringing with a physical hand'.
