Introduction[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the lesson on Armenian vocabulary related to travel and transportation! In this lesson, we will cover the various modes of transportation and how to talk about your travel experiences in Armenian.

Travel and transportation are essential topics to learn when studying a new language, as they enable us to communicate effectively in everyday situations and navigate our way through unfamiliar places. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of the Armenian words for different modes of transportation, such as cars, buses, trains, and airplanes, allowing you to confidently discuss your travel experiences with others.

Let's dive into the fascinating world of travel and transportation in the Armenian language!

Modes of Transportation[edit | edit source]

Armenian offers a rich vocabulary when it comes to modes of transportation. From cars to bicycles, we will explore the various ways people get around in Armenia and how to express these modes of transportation in Armenian. Let's start by learning the names of some common modes of transportation:

Armenian	Pronunciation	English Translation
մեքենա	mekena	car
բաս	bas	bus
փոշի	p'oshi	train
օդանավակ	odanavak	airplane
հեծանիվ	hetaniv	helicopter
բայցիկ	baytsik	bicycle
մոտոցիկլ	motosikl	motorcycle
մանկապարտեզ	mankapartez	skateboard

Now, let's practice using these words in sentences to talk about different modes of transportation. Pay attention to the word order and sentence structure as we go along.

1. Ես ուզում եմ գնալ աշխարհի այլ երկրերով։ (Yes uzum em gnal ashkharhi ayl yerkerov.) I want to travel to other countries.

2. Ես ուզում եմ գնալ մեքենայով։ (Yes uzum em gnal mekenavoy.) I want to travel by car.

3. Ես սիրում եմ գնալ բասով աշխարհի հողմում։ (Yes sirum em gnal basov ashkharhi hoghmum.) I enjoy traveling by bus in foreign countries.

4. Ուզում եմ գնալ փոշով։ (Uzum em gnal p'oshov.) I want to travel by train.

5. Ես անվճար ճանապարհորդականության համար կից և պահանջվող օդանավակով գնալու։ (Yes anvchar janapardakan hamar kic'h yev pahanjvogh odanavakov gnalu.) I need to travel by a convenient and reliable airplane.

6. Ես հեծանիվով գնամ բայցիկին շարժվելու։ (Yes hetanivov gnam baytsikin sharjvelu.) I ride a bicycle with a helicopter.

7. Ես գնալու եմ մոտոցիկլով։ (Yes gnalu em motosiklov.) I travel by motorcycle.

8. Ես անվճար գնում եմ մանկապարտեզով գնալու։ (Yes anvchar gnum em mankapartezov gnalu.) I go skateboarding for free.

As you can see, Armenian sentences follow a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order, just like English. It's important to note that transportation-related words are often used with the preposition "ով" (ov), meaning "by." This preposition is used to indicate the means or mode of transportation. For example, "մեքենաով" (mekenaov) means "by car," and "փոշով" (p'oshov) means "by train."

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Armenia, with its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, offers various means of transportation to explore the country. One interesting aspect of transportation in Armenia is the prevalence of marshrutkas, which are minivans or minibuses that serve as a popular mode of public transportation. These marshrutkas operate on fixed routes and are known for their distinctive yellow color. They are an affordable and convenient way to travel within cities and between different regions of Armenia.

Another unique transportation experience in Armenia is the use of the "taxis" or shared taxis known as "gypsy cabs." These taxis are usually private cars that follow specific routes and pick up passengers along the way. Shared taxis are a common mode of transportation for both locals and tourists, offering a more flexible and personalized travel experience.

Armenia also boasts a well-developed railway network, connecting major cities and towns within the country. The Armenian Railway operates both passenger and freight trains, providing an alternative mode of transportation for those who prefer a leisurely journey through the picturesque landscapes of Armenia.

In recent years, Armenia has witnessed a boom in the international and domestic airline industry, with several airlines operating flights to and from the country. The Zvartnots International Airport in Yerevan serves as the main airport in Armenia, offering flights to various destinations worldwide. Traveling by plane has become increasingly popular, especially for those who wish to explore distant countries or regions beyond Armenia's borders.
