It says, "That Kazza is one hot babe, too bad she lives so far away."

What a generous and encouraging teacher! No, I know little, but I've been spoken to in Armenglish (like Spanglish) all my life. Of course, alot of kitchen/food terms:

 

--"Honey, please put the pot on the gudag" (fire, you probably know it in a slightly different form).

 

--"Don't eat that, it's avroog" (spoiled)

 

--"This meat is too yughood" (fatty, literally oily)

 

Not long ago, I did independently learn some basic Armenian characters and grammar (verb conjugation, pluralization, definite articles).

Glad to hear it. Brandy & tea, eh? Everytime I drink alcohol, my grandma says comically, "Kh'meh, Shireh!" (in other words, all you're going to do all night is drink and pee). The first word said with a fist and thumb imitating a beer bottle tipped towards the mouth, the second word said with a sweeping motion from the groin towards the ground. By far, my favorite Armenian saying!

No. My grandma had trouble with "hamar", but I think it says he has to give you and I another lesson today. Not 100% sure.

I already know what a joker you are Pilafhead. Hence the sarcasm) How is your grandma? Please tell he "hi" (or HAY!) from me. By the way, does she still think Kazza means accident prone? That makes me look like this character in the Beano (Calamity James)

And have you found your cat yet?

Anyway enougha that, do some more work!! Some shirking is fine, but not a lot! You want to learn Hye, dont you? LOL

I don´t want to go too much into this. Just the word you wrote as "eshak", actually the word is Turkish, "eshek" (written with a s cedille). It means literally donkey.



Eshek is a turkification of the word "ech" in one of the lost languages in the Asia Menor.
