  • anyone willing to translate into Armenian?

    I hope this is the right board to post this question.

    One part of it is that I sometimes want to write stories or poems with bits of Armenian in them, but I no longer remember the phrases accurately (except everything started with "inch" I seem to recall)... and then other times, I remember things that my dad would say, but I can't fully remember them.

    So, here is one. Sometimes, when my Armenian-speaking family members would disagree with one another, they would say this phrase - and my Dad translated it for me as, "Your brains are flying around the room". Is this a genuine Armenian expression, or just something my family used to say? And how would they have said it?

    Armenian: Khelk's k'lkh's t'rav

    Translation: My brain flew from my head

    Meaning: I went nuts

    so maybe they were saying to each other "You're going nuts/crazy!"

      ta very much Vik311. I seem to recall them saying something like helk'tesk'e'nesk'chord, but I could have that totally wrong. They definitely meant it as "You're crazy!"
