Gor-Gor Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Not sure if many of you know this, but this video is actually a parody of a Beirut-based Armenian radio program called "Hayerene Jisht Khosink." These Beirutsi guys did a hell of an impersonation of the program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annannimusss Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Arpa, how am I supposed to clean up my Armenian. I mix a whole lot of Turkish-French-Arabic in, I say Mercy instead Shnorogalam,I they Kravat instead of Poghgob,but I think if I put the effort I can somewhat clean it up a bit. But there is another problem, I don't know the Armenian word for many things, like Shalymon for straw, or Mayo for bathing suit, how about the word for electricity, Karraba. Not even my parents know some of the words. And my Grandma is the worst she mixes in so much sometimes she even confuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does take some effort. We, from Soviet Armenia were used to using Russian words in our daily lives, such as "xolodelnik" for "sarnaran" (refrigerator), or "marozhni" for "paghpaghak" (ice cream). But we don't use those words anymore, and neither do the Armenians around us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will use any other, be it mercy, thank you, danke, grazia and even shukran just to avoid using "shnorhakakakapupupukakkal em", simply because I have no idea what it really means. It is funny that you say you use “karraba”, in fact it is “kahraba” to mean electricity. What you may not know is that that word is based on “kahrabar”, the resinous exudation which is known as “elektron” in the Greek, amber in English and Sat/ՍԱԹ in the Armenian. Why is it called “sath” in Armenian? It is common with the Persian word “sataph” to mean “nacre/mother of pearl“ http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/mother-of-pearl-jewelry.html Afrikaans - barnsteen; Albanian - qehribá ; Arabic - kahramaan ( ) & 'anbar ( ) ; Armenian - ?sat' ( [ + h'ambar?]; Azeri(Azerbaijani)- or kæhræba; Basque - anbar; Belarus(i)an - ~ burshtin ( ); Bengali - ???

Sassun Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Just an informative note here: Kahraba is the Arabic word (spoken version) for electricity and its proper form in written Arabic is kahruba' كهرُباء Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice that above the Arabic word is entered as "kahramaan/anbar" . Is that correct? We know what "kahraman" means as in Cairo/al Qahireh and Kahraman-Marash.

Sassun Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Btw Arpa, speaking of Marash! Does this look familiar ? The STOLEN version: The ORIGINAL version: WHAT have the turks produced of themselves, that they can call their own invention? Aside from genocidal leaders/people ?

AK-47 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Arpa Kahraman is not an Arabic word but used sometimes in Arabic... But yeah, it means amber... Anbar means depot... Isn't Kahraman "hero" in Turkish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-47 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Btw Arpa, speaking of Marash! Okay, they steal our land, our riches, our women, our children, our lives, our music, our musical instruments etc and now they steal the design of our monuments?
