意思
Indicating a long distance.
文化背景
Mount Ararat is a symbol of something that is visually close but 'shat herru' in reality due to the closed border with Turkey. The phrase is central to the 'Spyurk' (Diaspora) identity, representing the physical distance from the homeland. Taxi drivers may use 'shat herru' to justify a higher price or to suggest taking a different route. In villages, 'shat herru' might refer to a place only 5km away if the road is bad or if one has to walk.
Relative Distance
Remember that in Armenia, 'shat herru' is anything over 50km!
Avoid 'Long'
Don't say 'shat herru' for a long movie or a long book.
