Arpa Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 First I'll give you the rediculous. Tstsak, tstsik . Did I break a taboo? :) Then we come to the official synonyms. This assumes that we are talking about "straw" as in "the last straw" or a the straw as in the shaft of wheat/grain. Dzghot, dzegh, dzghnot, tsoghun(stem), kothun,(as in koth/butt), boun (as in trunk of tree), dzghan, khozan, sharav or shavar (stem of wheat). And now we come to.... drink... There are two words for "drink" and "pipe", no, strike that, "tube", "pogh". The first and the more common is "khmel", so if we combine drink and tube we would end up with "khm-pogh". My choice would be the other word for "drink" which is "@mpel" (@ as in @nker=friend). Combine the latter two you get "@mp-pogh" . Let us further abbridge it and get "@MPOGH". And this last straw will break the camel's back. And now let us all join in singing; "Sipping soda, sipping soda, sipping soda, a-sipping soda through a straw". And tell them you first saw it here.

Arpa Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 @mpogh cherav da inchpe s ases te Gini @mpogh  aveli lav a @mpoghIK @mpelaDzoghik Iravunq unes MosJan. Batsi mi nrbutyunits. @mpogh as in drinker(of wire) is spelled with PE while in @mp-pogh the second P is Pyur. On second thought, once again we are going out of our way and trying to reinvent the wheel by composing new words. I just remembered that according to XenophonArmenians were of the first people to make beer and that they stored it in underground cisterns and used "egheg/yegheg" (reed) to sip it while they reclined on a "bazmots". Btw, Maral are your guests that you want to impress fro the Middle East, more specifically from the former French mandates of Syria and Lebanon? They use "sharaamon/shraimon/sharimol" etc. a corruption of the French "chalumeau" which simplt means reed/pipe, just like the English/Latin "calumt" which more often than not is used to describe the pipe for smoking tobacco. How about just simple "yegheg" or "@mpegheg"?

Gor-Gor Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I always thought it was umbatsoghig (umpatsoghik). Or go the easy way and just say "shalimon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud EXPAT Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I think it's French.That's the word we use too. style_images/master/snapback.png I was watching a French movie the other day and heard so many words I use when I speak in Armenian. Then I have the nerve to get upset when local Armenians use Russian words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamanto Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I think it's French.That's the word we use too. style_images/master/snapback.png "Chalumeau" in French means 1- Tube of a straw (Paille) or "roseau" - the Armenian "yeghek!" 2- An instrument (ancestor of the clarinet?) 3- An instrument that is used - for instance - to weld However, the French word for (drinking) "straw" is "paille".

Gor-Gor Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 It sounds too elegant to be Arabic! It's probably a bastardization of the French word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpa Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 How soon we forget! Let us go up a few posts and see what has been said about "shalimon", "yeghek" and "straw". If we could only stop reinventing the wheel we may invent some other mode of modern transportation. How about reinvent the "yez"? :) Btw, "yez" has the same linguitic root as the "ox".
