Speaking Armenian is an integral part of Armenian culture. After all it is language that seperated us. Would anyone be stupid enough to call Armenians Armenian if none of them spoke the language? Essentially that was the pedestal of that culture. In learning a language we are imbued with a way of thinking and expressing thoughts predetermined by that language.

MY forum?

Oh you know which forum i'm talking about. i didn't mean a forum you OWN per se.

I don't have a point. I'm just making a simple observation. That's all.

lav ouremen hayeren khoselov useh.

Dan, the only thing I oppose about you, is your obsession with the inferiority of "odars". If that's what you hate about me, then so be it.

I'm not obsessed with the inferiority of odars. I'm obsessed and despise the feelings of inferiority TO odars that Armenians have. Armenians are too "odaramol." Period. Now let's speak Armenian.

Oh and btw, who said I hate anything about you, Nairi?

[nairi]

Mouse, are you saying that the hundreds of thousands of Armenians who do not speak Armenian (fluently), but who identify themselves as such and are born of Armenian descendents, are not Armenian?

The way a language is used in many ways determines the culture of the people who use it that way, but not the language itself. The fact that Armenians use "must" (petq e kam piti) all the time shows what kind of culture they have and believe they should have.

Who cares, Nairi? This is a thread for anyone who wishes to speak Armenian. Do you really have to ruin everything for others? There was a similar thread on your own forum

What's your point?

And what I meant by speaking English like blacks, I meant African-Americans, the gangsta types, like "yo homie" etc.

[nairi]

Yes, like Armenian culture is about Armenians speaking ENGLISH like blacks.

How do you compare "blacks" who were close to being entirely stripped of their identity with Africans in Africa who are born into more languages than the average Armenian?

And like Armenian culture is about pretending not to know Armenian because that's such a shame....

I'm not pretending not to know Armenian. Not anymore. I'm Armenian regardless of the language(s) I speak.

Threads like these just baffle me.
