Let me see if this will work.

Here they are making Terev Patuk, Grape Leaf Wrap. Some may call it by its furkish name dolma,sarma etc. But, sorry even though I know furkish I don't speak it, hoping none of us do. I hope to not reopen that disgusting thread about dolma.

Sounds good to me, when next I talk to Sedthrak yev Arshod I'll invite them over for Derev Batuk or Terev Patuk.

 

Words are wonderful, When Yerazel was little, she, holding a feather said " pedur" not being able to pronounce the English word, it came out Armenian. Armenian and English being indo european. Armenian being the older language, the English language inherited that one and many others.

 

I agree with your direction and admire your passion concerning our language and its purity.

 

God bless you cousin Arpa, long life and success.

 

I do wonder at Adanatsi saying havgit hots rather than yamatala zungalic. Here in this,our home it is havgit hots.

Yes, Marashtsis say hots for bread/ hats, just like often the A turns to O. Like bats/open becomes bots as in drnbats/drnbots. the Feast of Akhots which actually is agh- ou- hots, salt and bread .The Musa Leratsis say hoots I know a little naughty joke/slogan which I may air at another time.

This is interesting. Are you saying that you speak Adana Armenian dialect?

My personal observation in Aleppo and Beirut was that, of all the Kiliketsis, like Marash, Zeitun , Hajin and others who had and spoke their native dialects, it seemed like the Adanatsis did not have one, and those who spoke Armenian, it was relearned at school. See quote below.

http://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ադնա

 

The Armenians of Adana, during the 300 years of ottoman rule had been totally turkish speaking until later they rediscovered their own Armenian language.

===

Ադանայի հայերը օսմանյան տիրապետության 300 տարիների ընթացքում դարձել էին թրքախոս և նորաբաց բազմաթիվ հայկական դպրոցների շնորհիվ հայոց լեզուն սկսեց վերակենդանանալ

Dear Onjig, can you show us more samples of the Adana Armenian dialect?

When youre ready please post it here.

Mirigis Adanatzi e. Hirigus Dicranagetzi e.,excuse my spelling, As you have said because of constance and horrid oppression, if they spoke a word of Armenian or their child spoke the cutting out of tongues. Mother could speak Armenian, but as a third language. Madzmir's prayer books, written in Armenian Aypoupen, were in that other language.

 

I don't know how much of Mamma's Armenian was learned from Father.

Father, when I was a boy, made flash cards from which I learned the alphabet, it was easternish. I am now more comfortable with western having relearned, even on a keyboard. When I find things I wrote as a child I find I had used, for instance Ta as Da, pen as ben and so on.

I am not well learned, I can print Armenian but cannot write, I am learning, practicing.

Yet another wonderful picture. Thank you Onjig.

You spelled it as SoonG I would have spelled it as ՍՈՒՆԿ/SoonK.

I did not have to look it up, but I did, to see that it has to do with Fungus (mushroom). It is a common phenomenon when F and S are interchanged and visa versa.

Look.

We would use the same spelling, the last letter I would pronounce [gehn].

 

Remember that closing on Armenian TV. The singing of Armeni and the showing of growing, harvesting, the filling of the wine glass to overflowing. I love that, wish I had been able to record a video of it. It filled my heart, brought tears. The showing of love,happiness, pride and plenty.

When we moved around in Armenia every village had different words, some peculiar to that each village. If they didn't use that word they felt it wasn't Armenian.

 

Ungoiz~walnut, what is bobok? is that Russian? Armenian is such an historically ancient language. I think many of the words are Armenian, even though not in use in this or that location, have fallen from use, except in one pocket or another. Like in English: Board, plank, slab, lumber.

In Erebuni did they use the word kirk for book, Were there any books?

 

The garden of Eden Bardez, when I chew the word Pardez I hear the word par a dize~paradise. Words have moved around, some from Armenian to another and back again.

 

 

 

chien in french~ shoon in Hyeren~ Hyeren shoon~ hoont German. The adding or subtracting of a sound changes little.

 

When I was little, they, the folks would say~huntgahav~ turkey but I thought, that makes sense hink ga hav ~ big as five chickens. Half understanding causes a word to be use differently, sometimes forever.

 

Hot tub time. Have a great day.

Yes Partez/garden means paradise as in Edemi Partez, Garden of Eden, from the Persian Firdaus.

And as to POPOK/bobog, it is the rind /peel of the yet green walnut.
