Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

She says

"I am also in Armenia and I graduate in the Yerevan State University Bachelor and Master. Now I am working. And where do you study?"

As for what you should tell her, haha I don't know. But answering the question she did to you, if you study at whatever university, just say the name of that university and add -um at the end, for example you should say.

"Yes nayev Yerevan Petakan Hamalsaranum em sovorum."

And if you want to say "I study medicine (for example)"

"Yes sovorum em bzhshkutyun"

To look for other things, look at here

Hope I've helped, and good luck.

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

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

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

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.

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

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.

Oh thanks Lucin I understood thank you

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

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

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?

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?

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

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?

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

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:

Yeah sorry I forgot I've asked you before sorry

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

Well, hi Lucin how are you? I hope you're fine

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?

I also wanted to know a little about word decletion, like when it passes from "Մուկ" to "Մկներ". In what cases does word decletion happens? And with what kind of words?

"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.
