I heard pokhaserr too.

How about "intuitive"? Google translated it ինտուիտիվ and I almost punched it.

Intuitive?

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

As an Armenian that cannot speak his own language(most regretfully) here goes...
As small children my grandmother would talk to my twin sister and myself .
Please forgive spelling.

Tah teeg--- hand
Door deeg--- foot
Got teeg--- milk
Chee sheeg--- piss
And this next one I can say but am having trouble finding the English letter(s) and sound for the middle of the word, so...
Kuh(...)heeg---xxxx

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Հաբերատարութիւն/համբերատարություն (hamperadarutiun/hamberatarutyun)

Tolerate could also be «հանդուրժել» but I can't turn that into a noun without guessing so f*ck it lol.

New words: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender

gay/lesbian: միասեռական?
bisexual - երկսեռ
transgender - no idea!

P.S. ռումբ is standard in Armenia but հյուլե is not. Armenia has gotten rid of հյուլե and now uses... ատոմ -______-

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Aww, I was actually going to go look it up later. Is bomb really roomb though? I feel guilty admitting this after criticizing the Hayastan tendency to just phonetically spell the English instead, but I've always just called it bomb (բոմբ).

Next word: Tolerance
As in - "How do we teach other Armenians to join us in the 21st century and demonstrate more tolerance of the LGBT community?"

Ո՛չ այս անգամ ))) ։ Ճիշտ բառը «հյուլե» է։ Իսկ atomic bomb-ը՝ «հյուլեական ռումբ»։

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

Of course not. That's not how it's pronounced either. It's աթոմ. WA problems.
