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.

  • Thoughts on Language Learning - Լեզուններու Սորվելու Մասին

    Having been in the process of learning Western Armenian for two years, I know a fair amount about language learning. Although I am still limited in some aspects of Armenian, I have come to a level where I can for the most part be understood and understand what is said to me (not in all cases, however).

    I am wondering what are your thoughts on the process of language learning and apprehension, especially for those who are learning a language in a country where it is not widely spoken. What languages are you trying to learn/have learnt? What are/were your difficulties? Recommendations for other learners, etc.

    -------------------

    Ես Արեւմտահայերէն սորված եմ երկու տարիներու համար եւ քիչ մը բաներ գիտեմ լեզուներու սորվելու մասին: Ամէնինչ չկրնամ խօսիլ եւ հասկնալ բայց շատ կայ որ կրնամ խօսիլ եւ հասկնալ:

    Ես կ'ուզեմ գիտնալ ձեր կարծիքն ինչ է լեզուներ սորվելու նկատմամբ եւ այլ ուրիշ բաներ. ինչպէս լեզուներն ի՞նչ են որ կը փորձէք սորվիլ: Դժուարութիւններն ի՞նչ էին ձեզի համար: Խրատք ուրիշ սորվողներու համար եւայլն...Շնորհակալ եմ:

    I think most threatened are all Armenian dialects and one of the challenges that we have is to save them from being lost forever (what happened to many of the "dead languages.").

    To certain extent this is also true about Western Armenian (what you might call as "19th century Constantinopolitan Armenian" since Western Armenian for most part was forged there and to certain extent by the Mekhitarist fathers (a good deal of Constantinopolitan intellectuals who shaped 19th century Western Armenian were in turn schooled by the Fathers) based on several Armenian dialects. WA is threatened since it is predominantly spoken in Armenian Diasporan communities and needs that with time lose their Armenian language.

    To sum up, you are to be commended Yerazhishda for taking the time and effort to learn and improve the use and survival of our mother language.
