Also, in Western Armenian "vardig" means underpants and is rather used by kids! "Dapad" is pants!

On second thoughts, I'm not sure how accurate is my explanation! I just want to add that, personally, I would rather use "shab@nger" instead of "vardig."

Siamanto: We use "vardig" exclusively for underwear bottoms, "dapad" for pants/trousers, "shabig" for underwear top/t-shirt/dress shirt, and "kazag" for a sweater/shirt.

Yeah, same with barskahays. "vardig" means underwear and only underwear. Pants is shalvar or dabad, I've never heard anyone use "vardig" for pants. lol

I'm not sure but I think dapat is not in use in Armenia. Vartik is used for trousers. Although andravartik is probably better to make sure there is no misunderstanding ...
"Ohh inch lav vartik unes Saikush"
"Inch asir ai shan vordi?"

[nunechka]

vartik is only used as underwear... trust me!

[Siamanto]

nunechka, CatWoman,
Thank you for the clarifications. I was sure that "vardig" meant underpants, I was not sure if "it was rather used by kids." In my experience, adults - at least in public - use "shab@nger."
I was imagining embarrassing moments where a respectable Armenian Lady from Armenia complimenting a Western Armenian, that she just met in a social gathering, about his pants!!!
In any case, I always use "shab@nger."

karoaper,
Please, never compliment an Armenian Lady about her pants!

*wholeheartedly trusts nunechka*
*takes off vartik because it's too hot in apartment and watches Merchant of Venice*

[Siamanto]

Pants is shalvar or dabad,

For me shalvar is "old style" dapad.

I'm still learning dear Siamanto, still learning. Maybe this is why I don't have a girlfriend.
