Cleansing the language

[Tres Bien]

really...i thought parskahays used harpkhootion? lol

[hyebruin]

say waaa?? we do say 'harpoox em'...well my paternal grandmother grew up in russia, thus some of the russian influence i guess...but my mom used it as well...

[Harut82]

I always used harpokh as a person who drinks or a drunk

[Stark Evade]

For "drunk," I use "keenov."

OK, here's something that's been driving me crazy... What's the word for "leg" and what's the word for "foot"? I asked someone and both times they answered "vot".. and I'm like they can't be the same thing... they're two totally different body parts, like tsare (hand) and tev (arm). So what's the word for leg and whats the word for foot?

In my effort to exlcude all non-Armenian words when speaking Armenian, I'm going to a list a bunch of words I have a hunch are NOT Armenian, but Armenians use anyway (probably either Farci, Turkish or Russian). So if any of you know for sure if these are or aren't Armenian words, let me know.

Ash-khal (Garbage)
Khent (Crazy)
Saroshka (Sweater)
Kal (Head)
Doprag (Bag... or is it box?)
Eshag (Dumbass)
Kife (I actually don't know what this word means other than that it's a positive way of describing somebody... my stepmom uses it all the time)
Khe? (Why?)
Kheabon (Street)
Zah-mar (Best I can tell it means shut up.. but it could be an instrument)
Mek-ina (Car)
Yetim (Orphan)

That's all I can think of right now.

It's not Zah-mar it's Zahr-u-mar, which is armenian.
Khent is armenian
Toprak is armenian
Mekena is armenian, coming from greek word mikhanee (machine)
Khe is persian word
Sarushka is russian word
Eshek is turkish, and the armenian word for donkey is ESH.
So, dont piss me off with wrong knowledge ok, first check the armenian dictionary and later state what is what. I dont try to be mean, but just preventing future mistakes that u will make by adding posts. For further questions about armenian, turkish, english, and etc. PM me Id be glad to help u.

Thank u
Love u

Car = Inknasharj
Esh= Yez

that's the Armenian.

[Sally]

harpokh means flu

[fIReBuRntInHeLL]

Car = Inknasharj
Esh= Yez

that's the Armenian.

It's very painful the part that u dont know until now the difference between "yez" and "esh". When u know, then that would be armenian, otherwise dont bother.

Plus inknasharj and mekena can both be used as cars in armenian. Yete ches kider, hajis mi xarnvir, gam imatsir verche kez xelatsiin tegh tir.
