[Հարութ]

Is "hamperel" derived from "ham" and "perel?"

Hmm, I liken "ooremn" to "therefore."

It's interesting, cause I always take a glance at the editorial, and it's always SO WELL-WRITTEN. Generally editorials take some liberty with the language; it reads more like a conversation than a written work. But this guy writes beautifully, in perfect, VJID! Armenian. So for him to use slang/foreign words wouldn't be acceptable. Hmmmmm. Gardzem jamanaguh yeger e Asbarezin namag mu ooghargel. lol

what would you people say about this?

*interesting that this express, միամիտ մնա [miamit mna], meaning մի անհանգստացիր [mi anhangstatsir] 'don't worry', i have only heard in parskahay barbarr... but here Tumanian from Lori uses it...

I'd get such a kick out of Sevuk Ulik.



...and I thought miamit meant naive.

...and I thought miamit meant naive.

yes, it does.... but the expression 'miamit mna' (literally, stay naive) means 'hangist kats', 'mi anhangstatsir', stay calm, don't worry, etc...

Is "hamperel" derived from "ham" and "perel?"

[QUOTE=Siamanto]Everybody,
Can we close this chapter with a "hampouyr?" And, in the future, more "hamperoutioun!"

hamo comes from Hambartsum ... i am not sure what exactly "Hambartsum" means but just like any other armenian name it must have a deep meaning...

siamato, i mis wrote... i was resonding to harut and i wanted to say "HAMBO!" because thats what he asked... and i wasnt talking about hambartsum the name being related to easter... i said i dont know what it means and then i said it must have a deep meaning... LIKE! HARUTYUN (which means to come back from death)...

is that a bad thing to point out??? i repeated that did not know what necessarily hambartsum ment... like for example there are girls with the name "Makruhi" which means something that i know of, but i didnt know what hambartsum ment...

is what i said strange? i would think that you lack a basic reading skill... comprehension... i didnt say it was a day that was celebrated... I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT? what is up with this forum? why dont people read?

AH HA! "hamenayn deps" i like that word, it directly shows that "ham en ayn" meaning "also that too" or "both that" etc...

further proves my point...

and che-ka, so you seem to change your mind so quickly, you read it in the asbarez (which i think is a great news paper) and you are convinced... no judgment, just a POINTING OUT! that you think "ha ba" is now armenian... so quick arent you? ohh wait, its beacuse it wasnt an EA person who wrote that... thats why.. OHHHHHH! i get it

and diar- i did acknowledge that at that time (~1920s) armenians all over the world were not nice to each other... the Dashnagner (whom i love dearly) and the Hanrapentakanner... they had political reasons why they did things... HOWEVER! that was then, and since then [roughly or more then 40 years ago] EA schools in armenia didnt do this anymore... the fact is that they teach armenian perfectly... they teach it in a way that which is the mid point, so that if you wanted to read any type of armenian from any time in history, you could... in WA schools in the US, they still have not adopted this because they are stuborn and arrogant... they believe, like che-ka, that they are more armenian then I am (for example) as if i wasnt subject to the same things that she was... if and when they did screw each other over, when i started to go to school i went to an Armenian school in armenia (if you can believe that), because in armenia most schools were russian, and there were still some lingering French and German... but to have a school that was mainly armenian was new... we had problems but we are not stupid... in Armenia the education is there... however NOW we face the problems of bribery and ankark people... they take money from students, or since teachers get paid like the lowest paid janitor here (all relative prices of course) they just dont go to work... I was lucky... but my little cousins there are not...

we have other problems in our little country, but poeple like che-ka cant get their head out of their asses to see that we are not WA or EA but rather we are Armenian... and if we want to move forward like the jews did or what have you... then we cant be like her... we have to understand that WA schools in the US have NOT! on purpose, changed their way of teaching because, well i dont really know why... anywho, do you understand that????

[nunechka]

i see we have all turned to our precious dictionaries... and to the letter "H" and we are just writing sentences with all the "ham" words now... ha ha ha

i like it!
