Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

Oh, what does that 'tsekh tam glkhit'? and 'hoghem glukht' mean?

Also if it is not a bother Lucin jan, what is an expression to express dissapointment? Like "Crap!"?

And what does "ba" mean? like for example "ba inchi es spasum"?

Dirt (hogh) or mud (tsekh) on you has to do with death and burial. So, it's really not a nice thing to say, though from context it can be used jokingly.

Ba, based on how it's used seems to be like "well."

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

Yea, I hear you have quite some 'polite' expressions in WA.




It is very rare at least compared to 'vay Astvadz jan'. Have you ever used 'tsekh tam glkhit'? Or 'hoghem glukht'? I want to know if it exists in standard Armenian.

Honestly, no.

As far as I know, WAs do not use that expression. We have our own share of stuff we'd like to 'give' to other people though .

Actually the first one is. I have heard many people use it equivalent to Vay Asvads Jan"

Nice decoding! Bravo!






The first two (especially the second one) are not used in that sense in Armenian, the third one yes. In addition to what Pazooki said I also use sometimes 'vay mama jan' to express horror or fear.

Do you guys also say, 'vay tsekh ekav glkhis'?

Ha, yes el em tsekh talis glkhis from time to time But I'm afraid it is a direct translation from Persian (khak tu saram) that's why I want to see whether non-Parskahais use it too?

Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

I am more active... I do the tshekhing. Tsekh tam glkhis.
Not an expression of surprise, but sometimes tsekh tam glkhit.

I think he meant to write Sireli Baregamner

Nice decoding! Bravo!

"HESUS CHRISTOS" - Jesus Christ!!

"IM ASDVADSIN" - OH My GOD (Direct translation)

"VAY ASVADS JAN" - Oh my God(indirect)
