The structure of a simple affirmative Armenian sentence is as follows: noun, main verb, auxiliary verb. Notice how this would sound in English:

Table

However, in Armenian the word order may change. The the change of word order is accompanied with the change of the logical stress.

Խոսում եմ ես։  I am talking (not dancing). 
Ես եմ խոսում։  I (and not someone else) am talking. 

OR

Armenian English
Երեխան ծիծաղում է։  The child is laughing. 
Ծիծաղում է երեխան։  The child is laughing (not dancing). 
Երեխան է ծիծաղում։  The child (and not someone else) is laughing.
