Hayeren Khosaktsutsyun (Armenian Conversation)

[Sako]

Guys, I guess since no one answers much of what I post (I don't blame them, lol), I guess I'll take the first step. In this thread, no one is permitted to use any English or if needed, only in the case of questions or quick comments. This is to improve our Armenian skills. We can all post words that are interesting and translate them into English for better learnig and basically get it going when we are free. Ok, here goes.

Barev joghovurd, inch ka chka? Es yerku orus mikich unbaghvatsem, Dashnamur yev Solfejo em sovorum ahagin vakhta. Batsi duranits, im nor siti vurayem ashkhatum. Dzez mot inch ka?

TRANSLATION

Hi everyone, what's up? I'm stuck on my piano and solfejo lessons these couple of days, which I've been learning for a long time now. Besides that, I'm working on my new site. What have you got going on there?

Hello my friend,
This was a good idea. Unitl now we weren't writing in Armenian in the forum. I'm going to try to participate but forgive me, Armenian is not my first language, I started learning it, and how to read and write after 2004. As you will see my Armenian is limited. I think that Armenians (most importantly those in the diaspora) have to remember our mother tongue, for if we forget we for sure will lose our strength. My great-grandfather was the last person in our family who knew Armenian, my grandfather and dad didn't know how to speak, read or write, and now 80 years later in my home you can hear Armenian words, and my daugthers first language is Armenian, that is a real miracle...

Best,
Hovik

That's just bad

Hi Hovik Jan (unfortunately, Jan doesn’t have an English translation, lol. “Dear” isn’t a good replacement),

I’m very happy that you liked my idea. I realized that we were talking Armenian in very small doses so let us talk more often from now on. This is a request. I am very happy for your family and wish that it will be filled with many Armenian conversations in the future and limitless smiles. In my family, my little sister, brother, and I didn’t speak Armenian before. My mom saved our lives. Both my parents were born in Armenia and know about four languages to date, and I was born here, you may know already. One year later, I grew up in India where my sister and brother were born. We all speak pure Armenian without an accent and I love my country and language a lot. They will never be forgotten. Joseph Jan, considering whether you know Armenian or not, there is no problem whatsoever, start now, talking as much as you can. It’s never too late and never will be. I’m waiting for your Armenian post with great happiness and anticipation. Hovik Jan, good luck to you and Joseph and let us at least not discontinue this thread in this forum. It is very important.

Your brother from Mother Armenia,

Sarkis

Guys what's up? Come on, at least not stop doing this. Two-three posts don't change much. We don't need a million people to start posting, we just need each other.

[Sako]

Guys??? You don't have to write letters, lets just keep something alive here. The state of the forum is as sad as the Genocide.

[Gavur]

Bedke Hayeren, tusi-dahdag bedke mezi.

Shat chishta, de ari gone stegh skusenk.

Joghovurd, inchek anum dzer azat jami?

Very true, so lets at least start here.

Everyone, what do you do in your free time?
