sev-mard Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I have heard that before~ Thanks Domino, hmmm, might be a loan word? Is it originally armenian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I don't know Sev-mart. I was told yesterday that it comes from hajeli(Armenian for pleasing) but I was not sure. I always had assumed that it was a Persian or Arabic word, but what I was told yesterday made sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had assumed that it was a Persian or Arabic word, but what I was told yesterday made sense to me. What I can say is that I would be very surprised it could be an arabic word(it isen't in my limited arabic vocabulary, neither any arabs I acountered, they have a different word to say please), I'm pretty sure it isen't an arabic word. If it isen't Armenian could be Persian, never know, but I always thought that it was an Armenian word. BTW Azat, I drop of laughter on the floor when i have seen your new avatar(I'm not jocking).

Harut Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Azat i might be wrong, but i think that, yes, it is from the word հաճոյել [ha&oyel]/[hajoyel] (to feel like doing, to want to do). so, the word հաճիս [ha&is]/[hajis] would mean would you feel like doing, please.

nairi Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I thought it meant "sireli", dear. If so, then it probably comes from the word ha&eli as already mentioned. The only other "hajis" I know is my muslim pilgrim... Azat jan, in what context was it used? Edit: oops, I take it back. It's West Armenian for "please" That's all. As for it being Armenian, I have no idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
