Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

Eshoun sadgadz degheh

It means in literal translation "The place where the donkey died"

«Էշուն սատկած տեղը» is used when one is annoyed with a certain location. For example, if someone lives very far from you and you want to complain about it to someone who asks "Where does X live?", you reply "էշուն սատկած տեղը».

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

I would completely love to learn Persian, but the Persian scrypt and the Arabic alphabet. I have tried to learn it, but it's a lot to learn...it's a lot of variations a same letter has and even when you've learned all those, letters still change when combined with others. It is very difficult, and I know to read some alphabets, but it is very difficult. But I would still like to learn it .

Again you need a method to guide you through but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hum, maybe I write it wrong...how the corect way would be with that sentence?

Which sentence?

I found an eastern Armenian course in the Internet, is a tutorial and is completely free! I was amazed I couldn't believe it! Haha I couldn't be happier

Great, you wouldn't want to share it with us?

Though you might not be learning these right now, always stick to learning one language at a time.

It is more complicated actually. You can learn two languages at the same time provided you reach a certain level of understanding in one of them and then start the second one. Of course it just varies for people with different capacities, the choice of the two languages play a role as well.

LOL, yes it is! "Eshoun sadgadz degheh" is one of my all-time favourites

Hey Federate jan, are the translations of those expressions right?

They are. Of course the funny part is that it sounds hilarious in English

Yeah I know, since I got memory I've been trying to learn languages, so that was some years ago. Though it is funny when you mix languages,

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

Thanks Lucin jan!

Today our teacher, who is from Persian background, introduced us to an example of Persian while explaining other things. She told us some sentences,

"mixaridand" (You(pl) did not buy"
"xaridam" (I bought)
"mixaridid" (You(pl) were buying"

I was in a thrill haha.

Lucin, I am going to search that list and see if you could help me with some translations . Mersi Lucin jan!

Sure. I'll help you with Persian.

"mixaridand" (You(pl) did not buy"

Actually this is not a negative form and it means "(They) were buying".

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

i didn't think it meant that...others were "susik-pusik", which I saw it meant like a slow person, but Idk why i think it means something else lol.

սուս means quiet in Armenian so is սուսիկ-փուսիկ which can be used as an adjective or adverb. «Սուսիկ փուսիկ երեխայ է:»/ He/she is a quiet child/ guy. «Սուսիկ փուսիկ գնաց:»/ He/she left quietly.

Lucin, what does "aziz" mean? I investigated and I discovered like it means "respect". So, saying "aziz, akhper jan" means like "respect, my friend"'

No it means 'dear'. It is Arabic actually. Like you can say 'inchpes es aziz jan?'. I personally don't use it.
