this raises another question... so, there is no distinction between քայլում եմ (i walk) and կքայլեմ (i will walk) in wa?

hehe... papus hishetsi... -dgha, tkal@ per... -inch anem, pap? tqem? inch?

how about the future? i will walk vs. i will be walking...

it's just like i noted above, with "ge" prefix (sometimes sufix) with no distinction between simple and countinous tenses... just a note... the "oom" in EA is not for present tense only... (i've read this a few times already above)... the "oom" in ea is also used in past simple/continous tense... օրինակ՝ զմայլվում էի... հռճվում էիր... տառապում էր...

since there have been a few mentionings of the Gyumri dialect, i'd like to note a clarification... (this is merely based on my observation of this dialect's speakers and not on any study or my own use...) այսպես՝ there is no double կը in this dialect... neither in հարցական or պատմական forms of the sentence... so... ի՞նչ կ՝նես, ապ ջան: not ի՞նչ կ՝նես կը, ապ ջան: կ՝ուտեմ... NOT կ՝ուտեմ կը... or ուտեմ կը... կ՝աշխատիմ... NOT կ՝աշխատիմ կը... or աշխատիմ կը... however, վազեմ կը... NOT կը վազեմ... or կը վազեմ կը... կարդամ կը... NOT կը կարդամ... or կը կարդամ կը... thus, i believe it has to do with the vowel or consonant beginning of the verb... however 2 դպրոց կը վազեմ... NOT դպրոց վազեմ կը... or դպրոց կը վազեմ կը... գիրք կը կարդամ... NOT գիրք կարդամ կը... or գիրք կը կարդամ կը... thus, i believe when a subject is present in the sentence, there is only one preceding կը in the sentence... note, gyumri dialect is similar to the standad ea in a way that there is no "gor" or other endings to distinguish between the simple and continous tenses... thus... լացեմ կը [when someone kicks my ass] լացեմ կը [right now] կ՝աղոթեմ [every time i play nardi] կ՝աղոթեմ [right now] another one about this dialect... in many cases, and i have no idea why, when, or how to distinguish this cases, gyumretsis (and i know this will have Arpa happy) pronounce the Ո in the beginning of the word as "o" and not "vo"... as in ոչխար [ochxar], ոսկի [oski], etc...

1) it's wa specific... don't know... 2) անոր(ը/ն) 3) ո 4) այո

how do cats meow in gyumri? "meow g@"...

hmm...

googler, i don't care about prostitutes or their endevour, or anything else related to them whatsoever... it's the posting style that you have aquired ("investigative", "exposing" the "moral ill", like you put it) that irritates me... you remind me of soviet time kliauzniks, liazors, and taghayin vostikans...

ինչևիցե - the word that is used 100000 times during a f'en annoying show on one of the armenian channals here in southern california, called "mer show"...

well... apperently not... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/19/world/eu...19kouchner.html

you want evidence? next time you're in armenia, take a tour outside of your grandparents' house and start becoming acquainted with people outside of your circle of people... you might learn a thing or two about reality...

you cannot guarantee that, because, im not sure where you have grown up and been raised but where I come, armenia, there are families of prostitutes, which is pasted from generation to generation, from mother to daughter... in that same place, there are also families who encourage and give up their daughters for prostitution because there is good money in it...

yes, it's grammatically correct sentence, but it doesn't make sense... i've never heard an armenian sentence "Inch ge badahi mezi?" to mean "What is happening to us?", unless one thinks in english and then translates it into armenian... but i guess if there are enough people using it (that phrase / sentence) then it becomes an accepted meaningful sentence... which is possible since we have quite many anglophone armenians...

so... why didn't she teach you the cases of the language instead, which would explain and clerify everything (especially in 9th grade)? btw, how do you say վարդ էր բացվել պարտեզում... իմ սիրտն, ա'՜խ, քեզ էր ուզում... քեզ էր ուզու ու հուզվում... սրտումս այս երգն էր հյուսվում... in wa? according to wiki there is no locative case in wa... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Armenian_language#Nouns

yes... you should never translate from english to armenian because you might end up saying something that makes no sense... like... What is happening to us? = Inch ge badahi mezi?

why r u pulling conclusions out of your ass? maybe her family approves what she does... did you actually interview them and know for sure that they are ashamed of her? and yes... you should have not mentioned the armenian culture as it has no relavance here whatsoever...

i could see a pissed off priest yelling at young girls after having to replace the water for the 5th time... [with british accent for the heck of it]"you little dirty bloody bitches... go home and don't come back until you are clean... god does not want your dirty asses to be in his holly house, you f'en little bleeding freaks of nature...[/accent]

i'm just speculating here, but the origins of this practice (or the lack thereof at certain times) and the terminology for it can very well have practical connotation than spiritual/religious/discriminatory... i mean, which priest wants to have his holly water get bloody during the service... so they had to come up with an excuse to discourage it... just like whole bunch of other discouragements that exist (spilling the salt, breaking the mirror, etc...)

look for someone who has a mom (for me)...

then you must love massage parlors in vegas...

i'm scared to say this, but we have something in common...

especially the roaring lion of mgm... what the hell was that about?

when you figure it out, let me know...
