lav Movses, ser batsatrelu jhamanak chi.

didn't know that. thank you

it is stil mystery for me, why Ter Petrosyan resigned. maybe someone can explain? i remember his last speech, when he said "... under the pressure of certain powers..." but then i was young and didn't care much who was the president, as long as i could play soccer during the day with boys and flirt with girls at nights.

quote:Originally posted by Arpa:Harut, what took you so long? Arden oushatsel es! I was expecting something like that from you. In fact I had other meanings to oush as in "Ush lini anush lini". As to the meaning of "mitq", you're not going to like this either. Oush as in mitq, consciuosness is also used in Persian. Zandi "ush/hoosh" means thought consciousness and "behush" means meaningless, unsconscious. Hishir vordyak! housh/hishel is also based on "ush/hush". I'll have to find out where "oush" as in "late" comes from. I must look u "apush". In the meantime note that the a- prefeix is used as negative here too. i thought of "ush" to mean "late", too. but also thought that it is irrevalent here. maybe not. btw, the negative prefix in "apush" is "ap", not "a". [EDIT]sorry, i just noticed that you mentioned this latter. [ December 16, 2002, 08:37 PM: Message edited by: Harut ]

quote:Originally posted by MJ:I remember also that it is narrated in Armenian literature that our king Arshag II was imprisoned in the Iranian castle called Anoush, which perhaps also points at the Persian/Pahlavi connection. MJ,i believe you are referring to "Anhush Berd". but because Arpa referred to the Persian variation with this, ush/hush, notation, i guess they are the same thing.

Not according to a couple of Armenians who wrote the only Eastern Armenian dictionary on the market. But wait until I start posting some self made poems in Armenian. i know. my enlish-armenian dictionary also translates ass to "esh".

Arpa, following your theory, that "anush" is composed of "an" prefix and the root of "ush"... "ush"/"ushq" in Armenian means consciousness. then with the prefix "an", "anush" would trun out to mean unconscious, equavalent to "apush".

WhiteHorse, i guess you were quoting me in your last post. the offical as of now is the UN, with its teritorial integrity policy. unless we have the power to not only win the war against Azeris, but also shut UN's mouth with our money, or whatever, we have to fallow their rules.

thanks people re: refresh rate i always leave it at Optimal. is it ok? or should i specify a custom rate? btw, the highest rate i can get with my card is 85Hz. not too good i guess.

"even though what we hear here about him"... Are you saying that what you get to hear "here", is not what they get to hear "there"?in LA area, the media (at least the ones i get my hands on) are very anti-Kocharyan. so, all we hear is naggative commens and nothing else. and the general atmosphare is that he is not going to win. btw, i think that most of the people here are just anti-Armenian-Government. period. no matter who's in charge. quote:It's been suggested/mentioned several times here that Kocharyan is corrupt and that there are (beter, more honest?) alternative candidates. Why would the people vote for Kocharyan then? I don't get this. Either democracy in Armenia is a farce or curruption has become a way of life for everyone, including the ones that don't profit from it.the problem is that there isn't anyone worthy to become a president IMO. even if someone sounds very honest, he doesn't have enough credentials to be a president. that's why people would still vote for Kocharyan.

TigranessIII, would you allow your sister to go to this place? would you take your girl-friend here? believe it or not it's in Armenia.

Opera Disco: Astral club offers free environment (for $2.50) in "Western" style By Sona Danielyan ArmeniaNow reporter From a huge territory deep under the ground come strong sounds of invigorating music and a crowd freely dances while others line up at the bar, trying to catch the attention of the bartenders who in their turn are doing their best to get all the orders... A couple of months ago for an average Yerevan citizen it would sound like a scene from movies they've seen or a place somewhere abroad. The truth is different today. Besides the opportunity to enjoy ballet and other classical dance at the Opera House Yerevan's youngsters have now a chance to do some other kind of dancing in the same area. Over the past two months, two disco clubs have been opened in the area of the Opera House, Astral and Atlantic. While Atlantic maintains an atmosphere of more familiar Yerevan discos, Astral is something new. Its attitude matches the free feeling that patrons became used to at Yerevan's other most popular disco, Monte Cristo. But here, in the city's famous entertainment square, Astral is an unexpected twist of pop culture in the shadow of the classical Opera House. Astral is a successful transformation into a disco club of what used to be public toilets throughout Soviet times and the first years of independence. Even if passersby don't visit the disco, they can appreciate the transformation, if only for the fact that the area smells better. According to the founder of Astral Armen Stepanyan, it took about two and a half years to complete the construction of what now is a 750 square meters disco club deep under the ground, which is only one third of a future entertainment complex including a jazz club and an open air restaurant. Opening a disco club meeting western standards has been Stepanyan's long-standing wish. "A disco is a very good place for our youngsters to learn how to dance. It frees one from complexes," says Stepanyan. He thinks the younger generation is self- conscious and he hopes that Astral is his small contribution to improve their need for freedom of expression. "The atmosphere is lacking freedom. People act very restrained," says Tigran Shakarov, 18, who lives in Volgograd (Russia) and claims that though there are no such discos where he lives, people there are much more free spirited. Still, starting from the time of its opening Astral became very popular among young adults who prefer it to many other disco clubs in Yerevan claiming that the difference is not only in the size. "This is the best disco I've ever been to and I'd love to come here every night. The music, the DJs, the people are different," says Martha Badikyan, age 20, whose opinion coincides with most patrons. http://www.armenianow.com/2002/december13/arts/003.jpg Visiting a disco club every night may not be affordable for many students whose average scholarship is 5,000 drams (about $8.50) and the entrance fee to Astral is 1,500 drams ($2.50). However, it is an average price for Yerevan discos. A disco club of such a size and scope is something new for Yerevantsis. Probably the only other place where one can see so many Armenians (the club fits about 850 people) gathered together is at some demonstration. The difference is that those 850 all together are not complaining about the system and other things, but they simply are dancing and having fun. Stepanyan is also happy to mention that in spite of the so-called Armenian mentality and hot-temperedness, they managed to create an atmosphere where both locals and foreigners can relax and enjoy themselves. "Whatever their style is, whatever color their hair is, whatever sex they are, they can be calm, because they know that their rights of citizens are protected here. It's a very important thing and, thank God, we managed to achieve that," Stepanyan says. Copyright ArmeniaNow 2002. All rights reserved.

what do you suggest, what kind of care should we take for our eyes against computer screen?

quote:Originally posted by 564312:So here we are if you like you can ignore and be cynical. That’s your right to do if you wish. And what is so terrible about Bible? Have you red it even once without any prejudice. Don’t consider the Religions that monopolize Fate. Consider God & his love for you. He says my name is Elshadai (mothers breast) just like a mother that feeds & nurtures her babe that is how God loves you. What is so acidic about his teaching? His commandment? Love God with all your heart and soul and Love your neighbor like you love yourself. Before anything go and make peace with your brother that you have argued, and honor your parents. Wow how terrible! 564312,believing in god (any god) and being spiritual isn't a bad thing at all. (unless you cross the line and start offending others who don't believing in the same god or don't believe at all). but, not believing in god isn't bad thing either. i, for example, live with very "christian" values - forgivness, hope, "khighj", love, etc. but i don't believe in the consept of god, that there is someone up there and someone opposite to him down there, and there govern our lives. "inch verabervum e" the bible, i have nothing against it. i think (i might sound cynical as you predicted) that it is wonderful piece of litriture, which might be based on some factual events and figures. and whoever put it together, or whoever participated in writing it, were genuises. it's totally up to you if you want to believe that it's the god's word. i also believe (see, i believe in something) that nobody should put others down for believing or not believing in the god. as you said, everyone has to believe in something, and i do too. i believe in myself, and i phrase humanity.

i want to tell a story i heard some time ago. i don't know how true it is, but it's stil interesting. during one of Karpov - Kasparov games Karpov was in very bad situation. clearly he was going to lose. it was Kasparov's turn to play, and he was deep in his thoughts with his eyes at the board. at that time Karpov looks out the window and says: "Gari, chya eto sobaka tav volyaet?" ("Whose dog is that loitering outside?") Gari, without taking his eyes off the board and without thinking about the question answers: "nechya" ("nobody's") Karpov says: "soglasen'" ("agree") and the game ends like that, draw. intersting huh!?

how come Armenian isn't classified as a lost language?
