Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

            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

                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.
