Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Prodigal in Armenian means "aradatsern", which means to spend lavishly.

Առատաձեռն (առատ (a lot) + ձեռն (hands) ) is used in a good way though usually, meaning someone who is generous as opposed to prodigal which is to waste without thinking.

BTW, the Armenian equivalent of the Bible's "The prodigal son" is անառակ որդին so անառակ could be the word we're looking for.

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Let's stick to one word at a time please.

prodigal (like prodigal son)

I have heard some people say that this means molorial in Armenian, but doesn't molorial mean something else?

Prodigal in Armenian means "aradatsern", which means to spend lavishly.

But "mesxogh" is for living it up extremely lavishly and above one's means.

"Molorial" or "moloril" is to be lost from the right path. In an ethical sense "molorial" is when one gets mixed up with bad friends or steals for instance. In this way it is inferred in an ethical sense and not in a positive way.

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Nah, those aren't it. Անարդարութիւն does mean injustice which is different than discrimination though one can say that discrimination is unjust . Կաշառուած comes from կաշառակերութիւն which means corruption as I stated in my first word

OK are you ready for this? Zadoroshel or anartar varvil. Anartar varvil is anartaroutyoun.

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Anartaroutyoun gam gasharvads; although gasharvads means that the party has been paid under the table Btw; to lie in the court of law as a witness. So I think it will be more fitting as "Anartaroutyoun".

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Doesn't "anartaroutiun" mean injustice? Or does it mean basically the same as discrimination?
