Armenia

The landlocked Republic of Armenia is a Eurasian neighbor of Turkey, Iran, Georgia, and Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan exclave. Armenia's tightly knit population claims descent from the Biblical Noah's great great grandson Hayk. Typical questions relate to the country's ancient legacies in art, literature, music, and religion; industry and manufacturing based economy; pristine appeal to mountain climbers and skiers; and troubled politics with Turkey and Azerbaijan.

How did Armenia get its name?

The native Armenian name for the country is Hayk'. The name in the Middle Ages was extended to Hayastan, by addition of the Iranian suffix -stan (land). The name has traditionally been derived from Hayk (Հայկ), the legendary patriarch of the Armenians and a great-great-grandson of Noah, who according to Moses of Chorene defeated the Babylonian king Bel in 2492 BC, and established his nation in the Ararat region. The further origin of the name is uncertain.The exonym Armenia is attested in the Old Persian Behistun inscription (515 BC) as Armina ( ). Ancient Greek Αρμένιοι "Armenians" is mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (476 BC). Xenophon, a Greek general servingin some of the Persian expeditions, describes many aspects of Armenian village life and hospitality. He relates that the people spoke a language that to his ear sounded like the language of the Persians. According to the histories of both Moses of Chorene and Michael Chamich, Armenia derives from the name of Aram, a lineal descendent of Hayk.

How do you say Hello and Goodbye in Armenian?

Hello

բարև (Barev) - informal

Բարև Ձեզ (Barev dzez) - formal

Goodbye

There are different ways to say this in Armenian, now keep in mind I will stick to Armenian even though many Armenians say things in Russian. The most formal way to say it is ցտեսություն (ts-tesutyun*), still in a more formal way you can say հաջողություն (hajoghutyun*), and informally you can say հաջող (hajogh*).

*The 'u' here is pronounced like the 'oo' in "goo". The 'j' just like the 'j' in "jump". The 'gh' in this case would be like the gutteral sound one makes when they hock a loogie.
