Boghos Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 I was brought up speaking Armenian Marash dialect, but it really evolved to standard Western Armenian devoid of its most recent Arabic influence, like no yallah . I am quite curious about rabiz speak and also other popular forms of Armenian used all over the place. I suspect there is some kind of gansta hayeren as well ?

Berj Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Boghos jan, Nothing of this kind exists. You're misinformed As you surely know, the Rabbies are the Jewish clergy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThornyRose Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Boghosinho, I remember, while I was waiting around the porch in front of that church in Kayseri, there was an older Armenian lady who greeted a younger male (about 30's), saying "bolosum"... I couldn't figure out if she was saying "Boghos'um" (my Boghos) or the guy's name was, well, "Bolosum"... And the "l" sounded like "l" to me, not guttoral at all... Is that because I couldn't detect it or because this is Western Armenian we are talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berj Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 No Boghos, It's: "Akhpers, vor meke Erevan eka shakhmat pti haghanq".However "nardi" would sound better in this sentence. [ June 23, 2001: Message edited by: Berj ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghos Posted June 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Definitely, nardi. One of the most enlightening experiences from a cultural perspective is to watch people playing nardi and chess in the streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
