Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      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

        ...
        - Բարի աջողում, ուստա Փիսո,
        Գլուխըս մըրսեց, ի սեր աստծո,
        Ա՛ռ էս մորթին ու ինձ համար
        Մի գդակ կարի գըլխիս հարմար:
        Վարձիդ համար միամիտ մընա՛(*),
        Համա-համա շատ չուշանա:
        ...

        «Շունն ՈՒ Կատուն», Հովհաննես Թումանյան

        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.

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

              I was just playing! Hence the comment *The devil tries to create more chaos*
              What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

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

                Forty days after Easter

                Earliest Observance?

                Catholics and Anglicans
                [Siamanto: note the ignorance! ]

                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????
