Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Alot of words are similar but the Eastern dialect uses alot of Russian words as where in the Western dialect there are no russian words but instead we, (Im saying we, because I speak in the western dialect) use alot of Arabic words.
    The choice of Russian or Arabic is strictly substituted by individuals that do not know or replaced the proper Eastern or Western Armenian words. Very few words of Arabic are part of our language be it Eastern or Western. We have less foreign words in the Armenian vocabulary than any other nation's language. The most commonley used in Armenian and many other nations is "fedayee". Could someone knowledgeable of the Eastern Dialect tell me if Arthur is using "Khabar" Arabic for "News" Armenian for "Lour" or is it a different meaning.

      Sorry Levon jan, I just saw this.

      "momi lusov khavari mech hamataradz..."

      khavar = darkness

      Tarorinak mard ararats by Meschian is of my favorite songs. An absolute masterpieces, it's almost like a solemn desperate prayer. Regardless of how many times I hear, it shakes my soul.

      My God, just read the lyrics which was written by Mushegh Ishkhan:

      Տարօրինակ մարդ արարած
      Խոսք՝ Մուշեղ Իշխան
      Երաժշտություն՝ Արթուր Մեսչյան


      Տարօրինակ, տարօրինակ մարդ արարած
      Մոմի լոյսով՝ խաւարի մէջ համատարած
      Կը հալածես դու տեսիլքներ արեւավառ
      Կը խարխափես բայց խաւարին չես հաւատար:

      Արցունքներիդ միգամածին խորէն տմոյն
      Գիտես նայել արշալոյսի ճաճանչներին
      Սգի քօղի տակ յուսալից դու սիրահար՝
      Կը տառապես եւ վշտերիդ չես հաւատար:

      Վզիդ շղթայ եւ թեւերիդ ծանր կապանք՝
      Դու կը փորձես արծիւներին վայել ճախրանք
      Եւ այս կեանքի մեծ բանտի մէջ բազմակամար
      Դու կը խեղդուես՝ շղթաներիդ չես հաւատար:

      Փուշ ու տատասկ քեզ կ՚արիւնեն ճամբիդ վրայ,
      Բայց խոցոտուած քո մատներով արիւնլուայ
      Դու կ՚որոնես ծաղիկների հոգին պայծառ,
      Ցաւից կ՚ոռնաս եւ ցաւերիդ չես հաւատար:

      Տարօրինակ, տարօրինակ մարդ արարած
      Քո ձեռքերով հողին կը տաս կեանքեր ծաղկած,
      Կը զգաս դէմքիդ մահուան քամին եւ հողմավար
      Կ՚ընկնես անշունչ, սակայն մահուան չես հաւատար:
      Մեր ժողովուրդն արանց հայրենասիրութեան այն է, ինչ որ մի մարմին' առանց հոգու:

            I like this website. I basically used this site to learn the alphabet and learn to read. Need some good conversational practice though.
