Harut

what happened to Yervandunis? plus, it's Arshakuni and Bagratuni, not Arshakian and Bagratian... Bagratian is Hrant...

yeah... she charged me more...

i don't know about the first translated sentence, but the first sentence written in armenian letters supposedly was: Ճանաչել իմաստություն և զխրատ, իմանալ զբանս հանճարոյ

it just shows that we have a rich language... i don't think it has anything to do with dialect... though i know that your comment was completely innocent, i believe that we should not get into the politics of dialects, which i believe IS politics... one should master the entirity of armenian language with the entire dictionary... you will much appreciate it that way... overall... i think our language is rich, expandable, 'jkun', and overall a better language...

very interesting for the word to have these two meanings... jesuit and hypocrite...

thank you lionheart for the explanation...

what do you mean? they were using roman letters and they just wrote "l" to sound like "y"?

why would "l" stand for "y"? are you saying all urartian were "tlik"? btw, is the turkish word "hayde" come from the same origin? how about franz haydn? is he urartian too?

glendale... 30-40% of the population is armenian... enter a book store in the heart of glendale, borders on bland blvd... go to foreign languages section... over 500 books in the section... no single book on armenian language... only one video tape of western armenian... "yerqu hazar parr yev aveli..."...

my frustration with armenians is growing by the day... i'm pissed off at everyone... from the elders to the infants... from the leaders of the communities around the world, including armenia, to the successful entrepreneurs, to the "sharqayin banvor"s... people, armenians as a nation are in pretty dip 5h!+... dire situation... to put it short, f'ed up... as a nation we lack tolerance towards each other, intelligence, ambition, strive for better for all, compassion, respect, understanding, patience, vision, knowledge, ethics, etc., and other good stuff... what we have in abundance are corruption, rage, shortsightedness that stops at the tip of our noses (good thing we have large noses), "poqrogutyun", selfishness to the highest degree, disrespect, degenerating youth, lies, laziness, fear, etc......

actually, that's a good idea... or at least meet and shake hands...

the bad news is that people suck... the good news is that they eventually die...

the same here... my understanding is: սար - mountain in general... լեռ - rocky mountain... but then again almost all the mountains in armenia are rocky... btw, սար seems to be a later addition to the language as it doesn't appear in any classic writing...

"shahbazian" is a common last name...

next time, please please please, take me with you....

թերի է հոգիս, ինձանից խռով... հալ ու մաշ եղավ ղարիբ լինելով... տենչում է այնտեղ՝ դեպ իմ բնօրրան... չի ուզում լինել կես մարդ դարերով... ուիշ ճար չկա կարոտած հոգուս... քանց փարվել ազգիս և սուրբ հայրենուս... հովն ու ջուրն ըզգալ մեջ իմ մարմնի... եւ հողը նրա՝ ափերուս, այտուս...
