Part -2

How to Communicate the Way You Feel.

* Present forms of the verb “to be” are the

only exceptions, in which letter “»” is

pronounced “e - hen”, instead of “ye- yellow”

at the beginning of the word.

Personal Pronouns

»ë - I Ù»Ýù – we

¹áõ - you (singular) ¹áõù – you (plural and formal)

The verb “to be” in Present.

Affirmative

»ë »Ù* - I am Ù»Ýù »Ýù - we are

¹áõ »ë - you are ¹áõù »ù - you are

Ý³ ¿ - he /she is Ýñ³Ýù »Ý - they are

e.g. ºë É³í (lav ) »Ù: I am well. Ü³ Ñ³Û (hay) ¿: He is Armenian.

The verb “to be” in Armenian comprises the idea of person and number, that’s why the personal pronouns in the sentences are often omitted.

Part -2

How to Introduce Yourself.

Read the following sentences. Learn the new words. Use the model below to introduce yourself.

ºë ²ÝÝ³Ý* »Ù: ºë Ñ³Û »Ù: ºë áõëáõóÇã »Ù:

I am Anna. I am Armenian. I am a teacher.

ºë ¾ñÇÏ³Ý* »Ù: ºë ³Ù»ñÇÏ³óÇ »Ù: ºë Ï³Ù³íáñ »Ù: I am Erika. I am American. I am a Volunteer.

ºë ²ñÙ»ÝÝ* »Ù: ºë Ñ³Û »Ù: ºë í³ñáñ¹ »Ù: I am Armen. I am Armenian. I am a driver.

* see the grammar note on page 5.


The Definite Article.

The sounds - Á and - Ý after the names ²ÝÝ³ - ²ÝÝ³Ý, ¾ñÇÏ³ - ¾ñÇÏ³Ý, ²ñÙ»Ý - ²ñÙ»ÝÁ

are the Definite Articles. These articles correspond to the English Definite Article the. They are used to

differentiate definite nouns from indefinite ones.

There are two Definite Articles in Armenian` -Á and -Ý.

• - Á is added to the words which end in consonants:

e.g. ïáõÝ (house) - ïáõÝÁ (the house)

• -Ý is added to the words which end in vowels:

e.g Ï³ïáõ(cat) - Ï³ïáõÝ (the cat)

• When the next word starts with a vowel, the article -Á is changed into -Ý:

e.g. ºë ²ñÙ»ÝÝ (instead of ²ñÙ»ÝÁ) »Ù: I am Armen.

In this case the article -Ý is pronounced together with the first vowel of the next word.

So the sentence above will be pronounced this way:

Yes Armen nem.

In Armenian the Definite Article is also used with proper nouns: e.g. ²ÝÝ³ - ²ÝÝ³Ý, ²ñÙ»Ý -

²ñÙ»ÝÁ:

Zero Article corresponds to the English Indefinite Article a(an): e.g. ïáõÝ (a house).


Ex. 2 Read the following nouns and make them definite.
