Hi. Do you know Armenian? In any case, I recommend you to add a Babelbox. See Babel. --Vahag (talk) 10:29, 4 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi! Thank you for your welcoming message, I don't have a native level of Armenian unfortunately.


 * Thanks. I am not aware of the sense ‘to make love’ for . Where are you getting this? --Vahag (talk) 12:17, 4 July 2020 (UTC)


 * It's how we use it here in Istanbul, we are not aware of the sense "to flirt" neither. I'll try to find an example from my books and quote it.


 * Perhaps you use it jocularly or euphemistically. The word certainly means ‘to say pleasantries, love words’. --Vahag (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't say we use it euphemistically, because the word has only and solely this sexual meaning in the spoken form. However, It is indeed not a vulgar or gross way of expressing the idea of "having sex".

Resultative participles usually are not a lemma and do not get full definitions and usage examples. See Lemmas. No standard Armenian dictionary has an entry for. You can put the usage examples at the main entry, the verb. --Vahag (talk) 08:48, 5 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the help, I will do it like this next time

I deleted, because it is unattestable. Even if was borrowed into Western Armenian, it could not be spelled, which in Western Armenian is /dagavid/. --Vahag (talk) 07:06, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Here is, for example, an attestation of it : https://www.hisse.net/topluluk/showthread.php?t=28974&page=20. It is unattested in dictionnnaries but however used by 15 000 active speakers in Istanbul. Compare it to Russian loanwords in modern armenian, I am sure lot of them are unattested in dictionnaries. For the case of դաքավիդ, it is the only way to express the idea of a person being retired among w.amernian speakers. It's interesting because the turkish words it has borrowed (tekaüt) is not used anymore and normal turkish speakers would not understand it.


 * So it's, not . I also found . Since it is a colloquial Istanbul dialect expression, we should use the label , not . The word is not found in literary Standard Western Armenian. I am sure Western Armenian User:Սէրուժ does not recognize it. Also, the meaning must be "retirement" as in Turkish and Arabic, not "retired person". --Vahag (talk) 10:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
