  • Harut, yes "ham hameh hanetsink ham el hoteh...

    i am through with this... even though its in songs, poems, books, etc... its in my dictionary (EA that is), which may be the reason why some people dont know about it, althought they all use it... all the time... all of my WA friends family... its like the word we brought home with us... it was probably there in the first place but much like BIG words in armenian that not a lot of people use, we just didnt know it existed...

    now i have to say that ashel has to be slang because it isnt proper language/grammer, etc... its a word used by half of my family all the time, and i can tell you that those that use it are either from Gyumri or Ashtarak...

    anywho, welcome... and i love the armenian letters how can you use them??? i dont see it on the list of fonts...

    its soooo much easier to read armenian in armenian letters... OHH! YA!

        is the name համբո [hambo] also based on this համ [ham]? j/k

        • proper - taught in school
          informal - not taught in school

          hamo comes from Hambartsum (you knew that, as you knew your name Harut means to come to life from death - i.e. to reserect)... i am not sure what exactly "Hambartsum" means but just like any other armenian name it must have a deep meaning...

          but i do recognize your sarcasm...

            well... they don't teach us words in school, do they? at least not all of the words...

            hamo comes from Hambartsum (you knew that, as you knew your name Harut means to come to life from death - i.e. to reserect)... i am not sure what exactly "Hambartsum" means but just like any other armenian name it must have a deep meaning...

            Համբարձում [hambartsum] is the logical next step after Հարություն [harutyun]

              Everybody,
              Can we close this chapter with a "hampouyr?" And, in the future, more "hamperoutioun!"

              *The devil tries to create more chaos*
              Is "hamperel" derived from "ham" and "perel?"

              Ascension Day commemorates the ascension of Jesus into heaven (Acts 1:6-11) following His crucifixion and resurrection. During the forty day period after His resurrection, He preached and intermingled with his apostles and disciples.

              According to tradition, it was first celebrated in 68 A.D. however there is no written evidence of the Ascension Day feast until about 385. Today it is celebrated mostly by Catholics and Anglicans. It is one of the six holy days of obligation wherein mass must be attended.
              What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

              • Nunechka: that I can talk about the current flaws of EA as well asthe current flaws of WA shows that I feel both belong to ME. If you felt threatened by a WA pointing out something about YOUR language, it shows that you have your own insecurities regarding Arevmdahays.

                If you felt like you had to defend the Armenian language, from another Armenian...well...I guess it's my turn to be baffled.


                Note: the flaw I am referring to still remains the spelling change of the 1920s. Will you at least acknowledge that such a change took place?

                  • Dants: So I pick up today's Asbarez (daily LA Armenian newspaper) from the mail, and what do I see on the front cover? An editorial titled "Yete an che, haba ov e?" The editorial goes on to use the word "haba" several times. Now unless editorials have different rules regarding the use of slang or non-Armenian words, I'm gonna venture to say "haba" is an actual Armenian word! lol
