Armenian Slang & Idioms

[Հարութ]

Հարութ,
ես ալ համոզված եմ՝ թէ ոչ

I was just playing! Hence the comment *The devil tries to create more chaos*

համոզված եմ՝ ոչ [hamozvats em, voch]
համենայն դեպս, կարող ես փորձել համոզել [hamenayn deps, karogh es portsel hamozel]

[Հարութ]

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

no

please refer back to your dictionary.

[nunechka]

ok, SOOOO you are telling me that "ham en ayn deps" doesnt mean "on the other hand?" or better put "also looking at it another way" or maybe "in comparison to another view"

i dont understand what i said that was not in armenian? what do you mean "what is up with you lady?" what is up with you?

here is another word (expression) in armenian that means the same thing (a little simpler version (more "modern"?)) as [hamenayn deps] and has the same "root". this should make it more clear what [hamenayn deps] means and how it is constructed.

ամեն դեպքում [amen depqum]...

i dont understand what i said that was not in armenian? what do you mean "what is up with you lady?" what is up with you?

:shaking head with smile:
you said you don't know what [hambartsum] means, siamato gave it to you... and you went hysterical...

[nunechka]

i guess i dont understand siamato's sarcasm...

and yes amen depkum is the same thing... that just goes to show that the Armenian language is very flexible and rich... we have so many ways of saying the same thing... for example "i love you"

- yes sirum em kez
- yez kez sirum em
- sirum em yes kez
- sirum em kez yes
- kez em yes sirum
- kez em sirum yes
- yes em kez sirum
- yes kez em sirum

i think thats the reason why Margaret Mead proposed that Armenian should be the international language because its PURE! its simple and you dont misunderstand things... for example in english i could say the word "object" and you dont know if im talking about to oppose something or a certain physical thing.

i love armenian more and more everyday...

[Siamanto]

Հարութ,
Thank you for the comment! That is kind of you!
I may be wrong, but based on nunechka's reply, it seems to me that she thought that the annotation
"[Siamanto: note the ignorance! ]" in

Demographic Practice?

Catholics and Anglicans
[Siamanto: note the ignorance! ]

was about her! When it was obviously??? - at least, it seemed to me - about the line above it that suggest that only Catholics and Anglicans practice Ascension Day.

i guess i dont understand siamato's sarcasm...

What sarcasm?

[nunechka]

siamato i didnt understand you before... but since harut pointed it out to me, i got it... and sarcasm isnt negative, you could be making a sarcastic remark by making an assertion or joking...
