exit Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hello, As we all know there are a few ways of saying Armenian in Armenian. I wanted to know how to say 'Armenian Prince' and a friend of mine suggested that Hye is too slangie. He said i should go with; Hykakan for Armenian (because Hye is more like I Armenian compared to that one), and Tagazharang or Arqayazn for Prince. Is this correct? Please help.

Harut Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 your friend and likes of him get on my nerves when they start talking 'haykakan' this 'haykakan' that... where the hell did this armeno-american slang originate from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow never heard of those words before. I always thought Ishkhan was Armenian for prince. But I guess that is not "Armenian" enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of yours doesn't know Armenian The best way to say it is: Hye arqayazn. But... isn't HyeAzizAxper better???)))

Armenak Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I thought "ishkhan" meant prince as well. The Armenian version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince is Pokrig Ishkhanuh. So "Armenian Prince" would be "Hay Ishkhan" or "Haygagan Ishkhan." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So "Armenian Prince" would be "Hay Ishkhan" or "Haygagan Ishkhan." when you say "Haygagan Ishkhan" people would think you're referring to the fish... a person cannot be 'haygagan', he/she can be 'hye'... konyak can be 'haygagan'... but 'hye mard'... 'hye puzati dzyadzya'... 'haykakan sari mastak, puchik linogh... ay esents mets O'... you get the idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harut Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 The Armenian version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince is Pokrig Ishkhanuh. true... but not everything in literature is translated literally... So "Armenian Prince" would be "Hay Ishkhan" or "Haygagan Ishkhan." 'ishkhan' is anyone of noble origin, but not neccessarily the ruler's child...
