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.

Re: vocabulary differences between Western and Eastern Armenian

Re: I'm a newcomer
Originally posted by Dh4m13lHi y'all! I'm a 24 year old guy living in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I work in a call center and one day when talking to a customer on the phone the guy sitting next to me said "Look! The woman is talking to her husband in Armenian! Can we speak a language other than English or Spanish?" He started speaking Armenian and I fell in love with the language. It was "love at first hearing".
From then on I started looking for information on the internet but I haven't found many things... he gave me some lessons but that's not enough. I've learned the alphabet (?) and I'm trying to read (ha!) a book for little kids in (Western) Armenian. I have Pimsleur course as well. I want to buy the course from www.discoverarmenian.com, but I don't know if it's good. Perhaps you can check it out... or send me the torrent! ...haha... well, it's too expensive for me, it's in dollars...
Do you happen to have a (GOOD) dictionary on your computers? Where can I get information regarding the grammar of Western Armenian? And I'd like to know if this is the right place to ask questions about the language, grammar, vocabulary, things I don't understand and so on... ok?
I hope to meet many interesting people here.
Regards, long live Armenia.
Daniel
Hola Daniel, have you tried visiting one of the many Armenian Churches in Buenos Aires??? (for list, check this website http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.ph...n_the_Americas)
Also, try the Union General Armenia de Beneficencia (www.ugab.org.ar) they should be able to help you.

You see someone kinda down, dizzy.. and you ask what happend , the reply
"Qez el vor qunen hanein, dun al edpes kllair"
reminds of a funny episode when I was a kid. Our neighbor's mother was visiting from some village and I was helping her put her toddler grandkid to bed. I was maybe 7. Anyway, afterwards in the living room she announced "Erekhen kuunela". I remember getting red in the face and saying "Vai es inch kekhtot ban a arel erekhen". Everyone was on the floor laughing. Obviously she mean "k'nela", but that specific village accent made it sound like it did.

Re: vocabulary differences between Western and Eastern Armenian
Originally posted by tunotIt's supposed to be a joke. Instead of "leres," make "leris" and see what happens..
by the way it will be a joke only if you write it latin letters, it won't be if you write it in armenian letters
