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.

  • Re: Learning Armenian from Armenian people

    I would say that 'artiok' gives simply emphasis to a question. 'Artiok sa jusht e?': 'Is this right?'/ 'Artiok nrank k'gan?': 'Would they come?'

    Also in "Նա գտնում է թե ինքը դառնում է", which I know it means "He finds he is becoming"...but why is the "թե" there? Or maybe I am translating it wrong?
    As for 'te', in addition to what has been said, I'd like to add the following. Sometimes it can be used to put emphasis on two things, for example: na te mekena e uzum yev te tun... in spoken Armenian, sometimes 'ham' is used instead; 'ham sa ham na'...

    Also, I wanted to ask what is the difference and the use of the different forms I've found of "բոլոր"...for example "բոլորիս", "բոլորիդ", and "բոլորը", because I fail to understand when and relating to what I should use them.
    "բոլորիս", for/to everyone of use, each of us
    "բոլորիդ", for/to all of you, each of you (plural)
    "բոլորը", everyone

              If you're in Manchester, you could visit the Armenian church on Upper Brook Street.
              The congregation is very mixed Eastern/Western and quite a few Russian speakers too.
              Services are first Sunday of each month, I think they're on summer break now until September.
              If you're in Manchester.

                Ok so I'm trying to learn Armenian, but its really hard to do. For those that learned Armenian and speak Engish as their first language, how do u think is the quickest, best way to learn?

                Also, Im wondering....the Armenians in Israel...Armenian quarters in Jerusalem, what kind of Armenian do they speak there?

                  I think there is no quick way to learn a language, it takes much effort, patience, and a good memory. I think the best way to learn for good is to start teaching you on yourself, that is to say, to start analyzing the language, to search tools for you too learn (like webpages), to search for like news websites with translations to English (that way you can try to see how to say phrases, o how to conjugate words...a dictionary will be also useful), to start accustoming to the language (listen to music, for example)...you can find many ways to do it.

                  Also, where do you live? Because you can buy courses or attend to some if you live near an Armenian community.

                  If you want, I could provide you with useful webpages to learn Armenian, courses, dictionary, etc.

                  As for the Armenians in Jerusalem, I don't really know.
