Comments: There are some words I don't even use in English so had no clue what the Armenian equivalent was. Others were at the tip of my tongue but I could not muster, like "passenger". The car-related words were funny because I realized that I use Bourj Hammoud slang to refer to them like "transmission", "battery" and "brakes" ("dransmisione", "battaria" and "frem" LOL). Looking forward to your revelations of the words, Armenian. It was fun.

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Let us know please about the rest of the words. Unfortunately, I can't type in Armenian since I am not home. =(

Lucin jan, that was pretty good. Of the ones you answered there were a few wrong answers and a few inconclusive ones. Your Armenian is better than mine, I thought you would know them all. Anyway, so far you and Yerazhishda were the only brave souls that took a shot at the words, I will wait until other Armenian speakers like Federate or Anon try it.

[Lucin]

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Some words that you have brought up here are not frequently used not even avergely. For instance, the detailed military vocabulary are used very rarely and only by a very small number of people, thus they remain unknown. Anyway, that's all I know but I want a gift for the ones I've guessed!

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Armenian, what are the correct ones. You raised several intersting ones I have no idea about.

I will wait until other have a chance to participate as well. Why don't you take a shot at them - without cheating!

You get an E for effort.

Thanks.

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

most of these were guesses/compounds from words I already know.

And like Lucin said, no cheating by looking in the dictionary. Be honest, you either know these words or you don't.

I didn't, most of these were guesses/compounds from words I already know.

[Armenian]

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

I was also going to put that word but I thought everyone would guess it easily.

I'm also surprised nobody else knew Համակարգիչ. It's a commonly used term.

[Anoush]

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Yes!



Համակարգիչ

I was also going to put that word but I thought everyone would guess it easily.

You see Lucin "computer" although it has been out now for a number of years, but it's still a new word. There was no such word in the 70's, perhaps it started in the 80's I'm not quite sure. Now maybe I'm justified or perhaps I am not I don't know, however in my records it's still somewhat a new word. But thank you folks, not just myself but now we all know it and will remember it.
