Armenian Slang & Idioms

[nunechka]

here is more proof that the word HAM does exist in Armenian AND! it has two meanings...

the group Zulal (the ladies from Boston) in their rendition of Zinch oo Zinch Dam, the last 2 lines say " Ham ara, ham havnets......... ham hani dzamgal goven" meaning "I both liked it and took it...... and I'll finaly fetch the barrette from the sea"

coma coma yeeh! zinch oo zinch dam loghvortin... la la la la!



i love armenian!

eat your hearts out che-ka and the likes, who really dont understand armenian, and the rich literature that we have...

You must by far be one of the most obnoxious posters I have ever encountered. Congratulations!




That is still not sufficient proof by the way, but whatever...

I'm very happy that you love Armenian. Nevertheless, you proved nothing. Well, except that you indeed are the most obnoxious person I hope never to meet.

You don't suppose that rural, pre-Genocide Armenian folk songs included...*gasp*...Turkish words, do you?!

BTW, I proudly own the Zulal CD and I noticed the "ham" months ago.

[Baron Dants]

It's like Tumanian using "hongur hongur" in his text for Anush.

Silly Baron. Armenian literature and music is devoid of foreign influence. Every word in Armenian literature and music MUST be Armenian. Besides, didn't you know "hongur" means "where is my eyebrow?" Armenian?! Apparently, you don't know Armenian at all.

But...but..........I THOUUUUUUUUUGHT I DIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!

[nunechka]

LOL! i am so happy to be on your super list diar dants...
and you too che-ka... i hope i never meet people as ignorant and as ridiculas as you...

ham kech haskanum mer mayreni lezun, ham el chek uzum suvorel... dzez tsankanum em miayn mi ban, vor yerb vor azdvats ir yereseh yet dartsni depi dzez vor anaknkal ch'linek ays norutsyunnerits"

and you are so special for owning that CD... surprise i do too... lol! no i dont think that rural armenian songs have turkish words... actually MOST likely it is those who had the opportunity to go out side of the country and into the cities where they would have to learn another language... there is an old "arrat" (i.e. saying) about a man who never learned another language and one day another man somehow got into this village and he was from europe, so he wanted to get help from these armenian rural, villagers, and he spoke so many language, (except armenian) and the villager couldnt understand any of the languages... and so the lost man gave up and left, then the wife came out of the house and said "Yes vor kez asumey, goneh mi lezu sovori, mi or petk k'ga, indz ch'lesetsir" and the husband replyed "etkan lezu inke giter, iran petk eghav?" lol! and this is said as a reminder about how the rural Armenians didnt know any other lanuage accept armenian, it was those city folks who spoke other languages...

and unlike you (diar and che-ka) i dont have such a list for armenians... i love them all...

[Che_Ka]

Baron Pear: Oh that's alright. I bet you went to a "western" Armenian school. If so, I'm not surprised by your ignorance.

[nunechka]

great, i am glad that you have all this turkish influence all over western armenian, but we dont here on the eartern side
