Top notch Armo translator helping folks on a internet forum

[karoaper]

On forum.openarmenia.com forum, the Armenian language section has a thread where people pose these translation/linguistic questions to a professional linguist (nick is LINGUIST) with incredible wealth of knowledge of linguistics: translations, etymologies (in several languages),etc. The guy (I think) is an animal.

You have to post in either Russian or Armenian.

The dude even translates poems in Russian into Armenian.

P.S. He might be helpful to those of us who want to find meanings to last names, etc.

Zeytun jan, I'm sure he does. I mean if you speak one dialect, then really you speak all the dialects, you just may not choose to do so.
anyways, the differences are small, so no worries.

Yah I doubt a linguist would have much trouble with east/west differences.

Actually, I only know one dialect (Western).
But, hopefully he will understand me. Thanks!
