The Armenian Word Game!

Re: The Armenian Word Game!

I don't think there is an Armenian word for it, since it is an American invention (I think). We would use the same word as it is in English, 'SMS' (People mostly use that term in Armenia).

Just because you think there is no word for SMS in Armenian, it does not mean it doesn't exist. 'People' use a lot of non-Armenian words (mostly English and Russian) in Armenia while there are Armenian equivalents.

The Armenian word for SMS is "կարճ հաղորդաշար" which is a logical, beautiful expression in my opinion. It is being frequently used on Armenian TV (in Armenia). Though the word is a bit long but we'll only get used to it by frequently using it in our every day talks.

Uh, obviously, which is why I said, 'I think,' meaning, I wasn't sure.

Yeah, it's also extremely sad when they use a bunch of a common English words in a sentence, which could have easily been substituted with its Armenian equivalent. I don't like those 'people.'

It's unbelievable how much English (and very simple English words) is widespread in Armenia today, in daily conversations. It suffices to watch "Vervaratsnern" for just a couple of minutes to notice the distorted Armenian…

You are more or less correct. More accurately, it should be "կրթաթոշակ".

By the way, let's type in Armenian letters!

I can't my computer doesn't let me. I need a CD that I don't have for writing in Armenian.

That show makes me ashamed to be Armenian, believe it or not.

New word:

to revive

To revive what? A person? Something more abstract like a movement?
