Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        I have a lot of questions but I can remember them right now, but I will say those which I can

        OK, well I wanted to know what is the use of "-բ" at the end of words, for example in "Ոստիկանության հաղորդմամբ"....what's it's use?
        Thanks, I'm well. How are you doing?

        It could vary depending on the context. The example you gave is interesting, in here it means 'according to police announcement'. But when I say կատարմամբ՝ Նունէ Եսայեանի, here it means 'with the performance of...'

        "Մկներ" is the plural form of "Մուկ" like; շուն/ շներ. I have already given you examples of such words and explained about it previously. Here it is:

        Usually nouns (rarely adjectives) with 'ու' and 'ի' in the middle go through this change when transformed into another part of speech of the same family. The cases are not numerous but not few either. I"ll give you some commmon ones: նուռ/ նռան, մուկ/ մկան/ մկներ, ձուկ/ ձկան/ ձկներ, հին/ հնութիւն, գիրք/ գրքեր, մութ/ մթնել, ցուրտ/ ցրտել, գիրկ/ գրկել, սուր/ սրել, ծուռ/ ծռնել, շուն/ շան/ շներ, ջուր / ջրի, տուն/ տան, դուռ/ դռան. This is all I can remember now, if you don't understand let me know, I'll give examples by them. Note that some of these tranformed forms are possesives, some verbs and some others nouns.

            I am doing very well Lucin jan
            I kind of understand its use, I've seen it a lot, for example in things like "Duq hpartutyanb ltsnum eq im sirt@" when it is like "with pride", but maybe is there a rule of its use and what it implies?

            Yeah sorry I forgot I've asked you before sorry

            I also had another question, I don't know if it is only present on poetry or lyrics, but for example in these phrases "Ես իմ անուշ Հայաստանի ", "Իմ լույս քաղաքի վրա" and "Ես իմ Հայ հողից" what is the function of "իմ"?. I know it is not "my" because I know what those phrases mean, but is it a literary tool or an actual grammar example?

            And finally, I have asked before the meaning of "-ին" when it comes to numbers, but I have noticed it also appears in words. For example, "Հայաստանին" "Մասիս Սարին", I guess it can vary according to the sentence, but is there maybe an explanation of what it implies when added to words?

            Thanks Lucin once again

              If I'm not mistaken we have also discussed about this previously. The rule goes in hand with its meaning and it's usually used with nouns expressing abstarct ideas like; քո օգնութեամբ/ նրա կատարմամբ/ համեստութեամբ... While you say մատիտով/ օդանաւով, etc.

              No it is not limited to literature. You can perfectly use it in every day conversations. Իմ մեքենան/ իմ տունը/ քո երեխան...

              What do you mean by 'implies'? It is usually used when you address something or somebody. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Maybe you can give examples in complete sentences?

                Thanks Lucin I just got it wrong the last time you explained it to me, sorry idk why I forget what I've already asked or you had previously explained to me..sorry

                Well I think this question I haven't asked you before...Ok. I wanted to ask, when I am making a sentence or a question where I am using the words "ինձ". "մեզ"...I wanted to ask where do I place those words?

                I know with "qez" I can say "Ես սիրում եմ քեզ", but I have seen in sentences, for example "Ինձ արհամարհելով, դուք ինձ չեք օգնում" that "indz" goes in different places, as well as "Մենք քիչ ենք, սակայն մեզ հայ են ասում", as well as "mez". So I wanted to ask, is there a rule of where to place those words in a sentence?

                    As far as I know there's no particular rule. However the 'rule' is where you want to put the emphasis on. When you say մեզ հայ են ասում", by putting մեզ at the head, you accentuate it further. For example, you can say; ես քեզ սիրում եմ / քեզ սիրում եմ / սիրում եմ քեզ... all are the same except that the emphasis as well as the intonation changes.

                    Yedtars, the program is not free apparently.

                      Hi Lucin, well today I just have a little question...you see I became obsessed with this phrase "մեռնեմ արեւիդ", I read it means something beautiful, but I can't find information about it.

                      Also, I've seen many in many websites people uses the word "sort", for example "sort erg, sort qaghak", I guess it means "cool" or something like that.

                      If it's not a bothering, could you please tell me what the proper meaning of these words is? And if it is not too much, also how do I write the word "sort"?

                      Thanks
