That's easy. It's because you're an eggplant.

Originally posted by Emil Hmmmmm, ok. Now tell me what the difference is between Arevelahyeren and Arevmtahyeren?

There is a difference in the way verbs are conjugated.

Arevela: Khaghum em
Sirum em kez

Arevmta: G-khagham
kezi g-sirem

And some phonetic differences....the b in arevela is pronounced as p, and vice-versa. same cases with g/k, ts/dz and maybe one or two others, I forget.


And a few words...such as vardig/trootsig...

~***adding more infos***~

(I can understand both dialects too, since both my grandmas were talking arevmtahayeren.)

Because arevmtahayeren is the real armenian. The language in mainland changed because of the soviet union and the Bollsheviks. Eventhough some "boot" hayastantsis dont want to understand that but thats the truth.
Arevmtahayeren is the one which came from Grapar. Thats why spiourkahyes talk arevmtahayeren.

Thank you
Cheers

We in Artsakh have a different dialekt, but we do (most of us)understand/speak aremtahayeren yev arevelahayeren.
f.ex.
khichme - aremtahayeren
mi khich - arevelahayeren
mi patar - my dialekt(artsakhtsi)

it gets a little more complicated than just switching Ks and Gs or ts and dz.
I wish we could use armenian letters in here, so that i'd be able to explain... not necessarily for you baron. I know u know. just for the genral forumpublic.

mi patar in arevmdahyeren is:
badar me
and it means a bite.

Yea...arevelahayeren also has 3 sounds which we don't use in arevmdahayeren. The letters that are the arevmdahayeren B and G are some sort of "harder" B and G in arevelahayeren.

That's why its easier to write without making mistakes if you speak fluent arevelahyeren. Arevmdahayeren has letters that make the same sound, and sometimes, people just have to guess which one to use.

And I think I just lost 90% of the forum.
