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.

          Re: The Western Armenian Language Thread

          Here's an interesting article on how the best aspects of both main Armenian dialects might be brought together to create a unified Armenian language (I doubt it will ever happen though):

          P.S. - It also happens to be the article that Argentina cut and pasted from a few posts back.

            Thanks for the link, it's a good summary of some of the things me, Lucin and Yerazhishda have been discussing. He mentions the loss of "իւ", the "եան"/"յան" issue, Iranian-Armenian escaping the Soviet reforms etc. Take a look folks.

              «եւ» vs. «ու»

              When do we use each? For example:

              Հող, հաւատք, ու Հայ լեզու vs. հող, հաւատք, եւ Հայ լեզու

              Why is it correct to say the first example but not the second?

                Federate,

                Check out page 16 of Hagop Andonian's "Beginner's Armenian". He clearly says that «...» corresponds to the exclamation point. Here's the link: http://books.google.com/books?id=3Ls...onian#PPA16,M1

                  Nice research Yerazhishda.

                  It's the first time I've encountered this though and I believe he is not correct in making that statement. The reason why I say this is because firstly, Mr. Andonian does not talk about the շեշտ in that extract about punctuation. But more importantly, if you dissect the words "Կախման կէտ" itself, կախման means "of hanging" or in this context "omission" and կէտ is "point/mark". So basically, it implies that it's used when you are left hanging or if there is an omission. This is in line to the way the "..." is employed in English and many other languages.

                  The word "շեշտել" on the other hand means "to emphasize" which goes better with the idea of an exclamation mark.

                    What's the correct name for "Earth" in Armenian? I've always used/said "ashkar" but i just read it was "Ergir/երկիր"

                      Ashkhar means world - usually used in context of things/people. For example, if I said "ampoghch ashkhar@" (entire world) it would be more in reference to the people/things than to the actual earth.

                      However, yergir has three meanings if I am not mistaken. It can mean actual 'dirt/earth'. It can mean 'Earth' and it can also mean 'country/nation'.
