Barev, Vahagn. I was looking for Քննություն Համշենի բարբառի by Աճառյան in the net. In vain. Do you know any options to get it digitized? --Abkhazian1 (talk) 16:05, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Barev, Abkhazian1. I sent you the .pdf by e-mail. --Vahag (talk) 16:43, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Shat shnorhakalutyun! I will need your diligent help again. --Abkhazian1 (talk) 18:24, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Question

What are your most prized possessions in there? PUC – 18:02, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

@PUC: probably the secret stuff that no one in Armenology knows they exist:

• {{R:xcl:Kerestedjian}}
• {{R:tr:Titer}}
• {{R:oge:Abuladze:2014}}
• Vrouyr, Répertoire étymologique de l'arménien dans ses relations avec les langues des pays voisins, 1993
• Vrouyr, Les origines du vocabulaire arménien, 1930
• Armeno-Kipchak Texts in the Alchemical Treatise by Andrzej Torosowicz (17th Century), 2005
• Select Recipes from the Medical Hand Book of Poghos Eudoketsi, 2003

Also {{R:xcl:HAB1}}, which is extremely rare, but I am gifting it to Martirosyan. Vahag (talk) 22:03, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan: Nice, nice. So aside from German, you have a working knowledge of French as well? I see you using French references all the time.

Wow, that's quite the gift. At least you know it'll be in good hands. How did you manage to find a copy and Hrach didn't, though? PUC – 14:14, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

@PUC: I can understand all the important European languages in written form (German, French, Italian, Spanish).

I bumped into HAB's first edition accidently in an antiquarian bookshop in Yerevan. Hrach does not live in Armenia, so he has fewer chances for such serendipities. Vahag (talk) 19:05, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan: I'm slowly getting interested in learning Armenian seriously. Are there any bilingual (English, French or Russian - Armenian) dictionaries on the market you'd recommend? And what's your favourite monolingual толковый словарь of Armenian? (Also pinging @Qehath) PUC – 09:59, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

@PUC: that's cool, but I'm afraid you're wasting your time learning an unimportant language :) I am trying to cut my wiki-time, so I won't be able to help, but I can recommend {{R:hy:Barlezizyan}}, {{R:hy:ŽHLBB}} and Dora Sakayan, Eastern Armenian for the English-Speaking World (2007) as learning materials.

@Vahagn Petrosyan: I know, I've got to get my priorities straight, but your alphabet and your women do look nice... So I'm going to buy a few books, which I'll save for later. Thanks for the recs, I've ordered the last one already.

As for reducing your activity here, no worries; my li'l list isn't going anywhere, she'll wait for you. PUC – 21:08, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Armenian-Chinese Wordbooks?

Have you ever come across any Armenian-Chinese dictionaries? What do you think of such dictionaries? -- Apisite (talk) 07:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

I am not interested in languages outside of the Oikumene, so I haven't looked and seen anything on such an exotic pair. Vahag (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

I thought I would ask, because for one Thing, the Chinese Edition of Wiktionary would benefit from the Reference-templates of such Wordbooks. --Apisite (talk) 04:35, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
