Weather & Climate

1. Այսօր շատ շոգ է, չէ՞։

   Aysor shat shog e, che?

   It's hot today, isn't it?

   Usage

   Weather conversation in Armenia

   Grammar Note

   Adding "չէ՞" (che?) at the end makes a tag question ("..., isn't it?") that asks for agreement. "Shog" means hot.

2. Կարծեմ անձրև կգա։

   Kartsem andzrev kga

   It looks like it will rain

   Usage

   When rain seems likely

   Grammar Note

   "Kartsem" = "I think/suppose" — first-person form of the verb "to think"

3. Ուժեղ փոթորիկ է գալիս։

   Uzhegh potorik e galis

   A strong storm is approaching

   Usage

   Warning about an approaching storm

   Grammar Note

   "Potorik" means storm and "uzhegh" means strong. "E galis" is the present continuous (is coming), so the storm is approaching.

4. Այսօր զով է, չէ՞։

   Chor sezony yerb e?

   When is the dry season?

   "Chor" means dry and "sezon" means season, so "chor sezon" is the dry season; the final -y is the definite article. "Yerasht" means drought and is not the usual word for a dry season.
