What cultural traits do Armenians share?

That isnt why I wont mix. I wont mix because I really want a real Armenian man for a husband. No other will do

So, what cultural traits do Armenians share after all? In a few words, can anyone summarize? Did we reach any results in this discussion?

I thought the question was, "What cultural traits do Armenians share with Jews?"...that was answered more or less...several times.

What cultural traits do Armenians share? Not counting basics that all of the developed and developing world have like 1-1 marriage, raising children, etc? Hmmm

We do share a language even though it varies and may be difficult to understand.

We do share certain foods, although we mostly got them from other groups.

We have our "Armenian" music and dance style.

We have our view of gender roles, child/adult relations, etc.

We have the Armenian church (although not all of us participate)

I'm sure more can be thought of, I'm trying to stay basic. What do you think so far? What can you add?

No, but apparently one cultural trait they all share is going off tangent like in this thread.

Sounds right so far
I don't know, I don't consider myself terribly Armenian either, and I don't think grouping people into nationalities is the best and most precise partitioning of human beings. Say, I associate myself with mathematicians of any ethnicity and race, more so than with Armenian taxi-drivers

I was answering the question. I don't think that nationality or ethnicity are good ways to categorize either. That's not what really counts.

Yeah. I didn't mean that I changed my mind, but when I think of what "Armenian" really means, I can't point at anything in particular except those language/religion stuff...

There's also this "jigyarov" property, which would be better called "southern character", but it's not an exclusively Armenian property either...

You mean Yujnii Temperament? Yeah, its not a real thing. lol
