意思
Stating that something won't happen.
文化背景
The phrase 'Երբեք չմոռանալ' (Never forget) is a cornerstone of Armenian national identity, specifically regarding the 1915 Genocide. In the diaspora, 'erbek' is often used to express the preservation of language: 'We will never lose our language'. Armenians are very hospitable. If you say 'I never eat X', they might try to convince you once, but 'erbek' is the firmest way to stop the insistence. There is a cultural caution about saying 'never' regarding future success, as it might 'scare away' good luck.
The Double Negative Rule
Always remember: Erbek + Verb with 'ch-' prefix. It's the golden rule of Armenian negation.
Don't use with 'Yet'
If you mean 'I haven't done it yet', use 'der' (դեռ), not 'erbek'.

One-word answer
In casual speech, you can just say 'Erbek!' to mean 'No way!' or 'Never!'
Solemnity
Be careful using 'erbek' in promises; Armenians take 'never' very seriously.
