Chir: The Sweetness of the Sun

Walk into any market, and you will see strings of colorful jewels.

These are “Chir” — Armenian dried fruits.

Apricots, peaches, and plums are dried under the hot sun to preserve their flavor for winter.

They are pure, concentrated sweetness.

Preserving the Best Moments ☀️

Drying fruit is a way to keep summer alive during the cold winter.

Language is a way to keep culture alive across distances and time.

It preserves the essence of who you are.

A Gift for Guests 🎁

Chir is always served to guests with tea.

It is a sign of generosity.

Learning polite phrases in Armenian is like offering dried fruit — it’s a small, sweet gesture that delights people.

Natural and Raw 🌿

Good Chir has no added sugar; it’s sweet on its own.

Armenian is a language that doesn’t need to be sugar-coated.

It is authentic, raw, and beautiful just as it is.
