    Hahaha, it was just an example of what someone would say in a fit of rage. Calm down, I'm not violent...most of the time.

      "Bidi" expresses either "will [noun/pronoun]" or "[noun/pronoun] will."

      "Bidi yertas?" ("Will you go?")
      "Yes bidi yertam." ("I will go.")

        Nairi, I am glad you are posting here. I appreciate your defense efforts, I was quite moved actually.

        I love Armenian sentences which are anything but Armenian, although it's very amusing how one can Armenianize pretty much any language, notice the ending that transforms an entire language.
        Any time. I post everywhere and nowhere

          I thought Bidi ment "You have to go" or "I have to go"

            Well those are also valid definitions in addition to the ones I provided which convey the same idea. However, from what I know, "piti" is the less "graget" form of "petq e", and not two different words.

              If I say "Bidi yertas." (not as a question) it will mean, "You will go." It would be a command.

                I must admit, that was the best display of your psychic powers.

                  Yea, "have to". Ugh, this is so frustrating. We can't even agree on one word in "one" language. Our fate is horrible.

                    It is dialectal. Do not freak out. All languages that have dialects have the same issues and sometimes they are worse. Some dialects of Arabic would not be able to understand eachother at all. Ever heard a person from Scotland speak English? Go watch the movie "Ratcatcher"; it is in English but you will not be able to watch it without subtitles.

                      I hope that's all it is, and that our language is not morphing out of control.
