                What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                  • diar and che i say the same thing back to you... i NEVER brought up anything about soviet armenian anything.. YOU DID! for no reason, just to insult me...

                    I am very confused as to WHY after 12 pages you two still dont understand the only and the most simple point i have been trying to make... it BOGGLES MY MIND! I AM IN AWE at your inablity to understand that YOU were the ones who said armenians have soviet spelling not me and you insulted my laguange by saying it isnt authentic! guess what? it is! get over it!

                    - and all those websites were potlical...

                    #1: my POINT again, (i guess i did have to slow it down ONE MORE TIME for diar and che) has been about the WA and EA schools and what they teach, and how come i understand and every bit of WA but you dont... your teachers had to "translate" armenian into WA so that you could understand it, but we didnt... WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT!?!? i have only had one thing to say, and that has been it... i have been swayed into other conversations because of you two, and i've had to defend my language because of you two... I WAS NOT!!!! the one who brought this up...

                    my dear che-ka apperantly you know exactly what you need... why dont you take your own advice and then come to me... i havent started this and i am not responsible for your actions... you are responsible for saying you started a "war" with me, you are responsible for making up some BS about how only the WA are the ones who are descendents from genocide survivors (AND THAT IS WHY you overclaim your armenianness) I NEVER SAID THAT! YOU DID!!! why are you so slow?

                    diar- #1 i never said anything bad about WA, UNTIL! that is you two started to talk about EA in that way... so i had to defend my language...
                    #2 if we were all "us" then you would never have made an EA person feel this way, in a way that makes me want to defend my country my language, etc... you begin all of this insanity (not you per se but more like che-ka and then you defended the inflamatory remarks and so you were put in the same category with her or him)...

                    i never divided WA from ARMENIANS you divided us into WA and EA... as if we are so different from each other, that we cannot belong to the same group...

                    I DIDNT!
                    YOU DID!

                      Another one that I thought of yesterday. You know how we add "ne" to verbs to replace the word "yerp" or "yerp vor" (when)? Like, "yerp verchasnes tasert, ayn aden grnas khaghal" becomes "tasert verchatsnesNE..."

                      So anyway, I realize we also add it to "che" -- as in, "chene." And we use it instead of "te voch." Like, "Ays shabiguh hakvim, te voch muisuh?" becomes "Ays shabiguh hakvim, chene muisuh?"

                      And my faaavorite is "chene che." lol Talk about redundant! haha

                      "Kovs goo kas, chene che??"

                      refer to my FIRST or SECOND POST! i wrote that A LONG TIME AGO!

                      - just goes to show that, you dont read MY posts...
                      (the thief think the world is a thief) that one is in english but it fits right up your ally, since you keep acusing me of not reading your posts, apperantly YOU believe that since you know very well that you dont read MY posts...
