Re: The Պարսկա-Eastern Armenian Language Thread

You mean extending the same sound right? Not saying գրիիիիի because that's just gyoughatsi.

Oh noooooo I meant 'գրէէէէէ'.

Wow Lucin. Nice summary.
He meant about in the middle of the word (where from your summary there appears not to be a rule), but this is a great summary to have in the thread. Merci!

You're welcome.

Yeah. It's not a substitution for us. It's the correct way of talking in the past.

Ես տեսեր եմ
Դուն տեսեր ես
Ան տեսեր է
Մենք տեսեր ենք
Դուք տեսեր էք
Անոնք տեսեր են

Nice...

Thank you for these rules Lucin jan. As Siggie said, I was just asking for the rule in the middle of a word but it seems like there is no specific rule so it is more about memorising.

Sorry, lol. As I said 'Օ' in the middle is rare but there is one point to consider though. Before [թ] and [տ] most of the time if you notice we have [Օ]. ex. կարօտ/ ամօթ/ առաւօտ/ աղօթք եւ այլն. On the other hand, we have 'եօ' in Armenian which is a 'երկբարբառ' and always written with 'օ', as in եօթ, ընտանեօք, արդեօք... I think this would help pretty much distinguish 'Օ' from 'Ո' in the middle.

Lucin and Sip, what do you call a carrot in Armenian?

Giazar.

I know գազար; I was querying the պարսկահայեր, but thank you.

Re: The Պարսկա-Eastern Armenian Language Thread

I say գազար (gazar) normally, but just sometimes (rarely) the Farsi havij slips out of my mouth. Why?

*gasps* That's right!!! I forgot that havij is the farsi!@#!@ Wiktionary lists the origin of gazar as persian , so I didn't even think about it! Fed was insisting we use ստեպղին instead so it's not a borrowed word. Oooooh Fed...

That's the problem with Parskahyes living in America or elsewhere who do not know Persian. You use some Farsi words here and there but most of the time not knowing they are not Armenian. As for 'havij', the second sound 'a' does not even exist in Armenian which makes it easier to distinguish it's not Armenian.

The word for carrot in Armenia is pronounced gyazar not gazar. I don't have armenian fonts to show spelling in armenian.

No, it is գազար (gazar) in standard EA, so in Armenia as well. Maybe in your regional dialect, that's how you pronounce?

notice the difference in spelling between the titles of the two vids and listen to the song he says gyazar not gazar.
