    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Armenian_language this should be pretty helpful. To answer your question, 22-ին, 14:00-ին, 25-ին all refer to the time/date. It translates to "at 22, at 14:00, at 25". The -ին ending is genitive-dative.

    Learning Armenian from Armenian people

    Hi, I am new here...my name is Ashot Harutyunyan and I live in Ecuador, I am part of the little, tiny, minuscule Armenian community in the Andean States of SouthAmerica.

    I want to learn Armenian, Easter Armenian specially because I am planning to go to live there once I finished my college studies. I know some Armenian, general grammar, vocabulary...the alphabet, I read fluently and I understand roughly 20% of what I hear on videos and stuff...but I want to know more!

    I have tried learning in the internet and what I can remember from leanring witth my family, but I would like to learn from people who actually know the language, and can give me a fully explanation of it

    I would like you to please help me. I'd be really thankful since I am very connected to my roots, and I would love to speak the language...which is the only thing missing u.u

    So can I do my first question?

    Ok, I am dying to know this I have seen the endings after the hyphen Armenian language uses in numbers (i.e. 22-ին, 14:00-ին, 25-ին, which I know are for forming dates and stuff), and I have also seen there is other endings for, for example, forming numerals (for example 21st, 2nd, 3rd)...I have tried to deduce but I not sure if I am right, which I think I am...

    so can someone explain to me how this works? what do those endings stand for? what do they mean? what is the use? how can i use them? and home many of those are?

    thank you
    apres ënker!
