    I agree, comrade. People need to be able to tell the difference between inherited words (prehistoric inheritance), borrowed words (foreign words that have been adopted into our proper language) and street slang (the crap spoken in the streets).

    Taza/teze is clearly street slang.

      Re: The Western Armenian Language Thread

      Is there anything with book and audio to go along. I can't just learn by a book, or by audio.

        Some Armenian jerk kid who speaks Eastern Armenian said what little Armenian I know...he said it sounds like 'village Armenian',
        This is a huge insult isn't it?

          I am aware of only one book/tape set but the tapes are reel-to-reel and are hence of no use to the modern learner.

          Check out this as well as this. Hope this helps.

            It probably does sound like village Armenian, but why are you insulted? You probably speak poor Armenian, which is not a sin, but did you expect the "Armenian jerk kid who speaks Eastern Armenian" to admire "what little Armenian [you know]"?

              Everyone is going to criticize you, you should learn this right now. Either you'll be too Armenian or not Armenian enough, too white or not white enough, or maybe your Armenian might be very poor, or if you're Eastern Armenian you're too "Russified" or if you're Western Armenian you're too "Ottomanized". You just have to learn to keep trudging through no matter what anybody says.

              The most important thing is that you are dedicated to your culture and your people.

                Honestly, I don't mind when an Armenian doesn't know much Armenian or any at all, I hope they decide to learn and I encourage it, but I really don't like it when they know Armenian and they choose to speak a different language with me or another Armenian.
                For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                  Sorry but I'm not Western Armenian.

                  Western Armenian is like parskahyes.

                    Not quite, more like Bolsahyes, Lipanahyes, Souriahyes, all Amerigahyes pre-1970.

                    Parskahyes are Eastern Armenians such as yourself.
