Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will dive into the fascinating world of conditional sentences in the Armenian language. Conditional sentences are used to express hypothetical or unreal situations, and they play a crucial role in everyday communication. By understanding the formation and usage of conditional sentences, you will enhance your ability to express yourself accurately and effectively in Armenian.

Throughout this lesson, we will explore the different types of conditional sentences, their structure, and the specific grammar rules associated with each type. We will also provide numerous examples and practice exercises to solidify your understanding. Additionally, we will delve into the cultural aspects of conditional sentences, exploring any regional variations and historical reasons for these differences. Let's get started!

Types of Conditional Sentences[edit | edit source]

Armenian conditional sentences can be divided into four main types: zero conditional, first conditional, second conditional, and third conditional. Each type has its own unique structure and usage. Let's explore each type in detail.

Zero Conditional[edit | edit source]

The zero conditional is used to express general truths, scientific facts, and situations that are always true. It indicates that the result is always the same when the condition is met. In the zero conditional, both the condition and the result are in the present tense.

The structure of the zero conditional is as follows:

If + present simple, present simple

For example:

Armenian	Pronunciation	English
Եթե + հաստատություն, հաստատություն է։	Et'e + has'tatutyun, has'tatutyun e.	If + present simple, present simple.
Եթե աշխատես, գիտես։	Et'e ashdases, gites.	If you work, you know.
Եթե գործադրեք համակարգը, աշխատում է։	Et'e gorcadrek hamakargy, ashdum e.	If you run the system, it works.
Եթե այսպես ես անելու, ապա այսպես ես միացի։	Et'e ayspes es anelu, apa ayspes es miatsi.	If you want it this way, then you join like this.

As you can see from the examples, the condition is expressed using the present simple tense, and the result is also in the present simple tense.

First Conditional[edit | edit source]

The first conditional is used to talk about real or possible situations in the future. It indicates that the result is likely to happen if the condition is met. In the first conditional, the condition is expressed using the present simple tense, and the result is expressed using the future simple tense.

The structure of the first conditional is as follows:

If + present simple, will + base form of the verb

For example:

Armenian	Pronunciation	English
Եթե + հաստատություն, կարող ես + բայցի երբեք ես հասկանալ + բայցին։	Et'e + has'tatutyun, karog es + bayci er'ekh es haskanal + baytsin.	If + present simple, you can + but sometimes you understand + but.
Եթե աշխատես, հասկանալու ես բայցի։	Et'e ashdases, haskanalou es baytsi.	If you work, you will understand.
Եթե գործադրեք գործադրությունը, ապա աշխատեք։	Et'e gorcadrek gorcadrutyuny, apa ashdetk.	If you run the operation, then you work.
Եթե կարող ես այսպես հաշվել, ապա այսպես էլ կարող ես խմել։	Et'e karog es ayspes hashvel, apa ayspes el karog es khmel.	If you can imagine it this way, then you can taste it like this.

In the first conditional, the condition is expressed using the present simple tense, and the result is expressed using "will" followed by the base form of the verb.

Second Conditional[edit | edit source]

The second conditional is used to talk about unreal or imaginary situations in the present or future. It indicates that the result is unlikely or impossible to happen. In the second conditional, the condition is expressed using the past simple tense, and the result is expressed using the conditional tense.

The structure of the second conditional is as follows:

If + past simple, would + base form of the verb

For example:

Armenian	Pronunciation	English
Եթե + հաստատություն, կարող էի + բայցի երբեք չէի հասկանալ + բայցին։	Et'e + has'tatutyun, karog e + bayci er'ekh chei haskanal + baytsin.	If + past simple, I could + but sometimes I couldn't understand + but.
Եթե աշխատում էիր, հասկանալու էիր + բայցի։	Et'e ashdum eir, haskanalou eir baytsi.	If you were working, you would understand.
Եթե գործադրերիր գործադրությունը, ապա աշխատում էիր։	Et'e gorcadreir gorcadrutyuny, apa ashdum eir.	If you were running the operation, then you would be working.
Եթե կարող էիր այսպես հաշվել, ապա կարող էիր խմել։	Et'e karog eir ayspes hashvel, apa karog eir khmel.	If you could imagine it this way, then you could taste it.

In the second conditional, the condition is expressed using the past simple tense, and the result is expressed using "would" followed by the base form of the verb.

Third Conditional[edit | edit source]

The third conditional is used to talk about unreal or imaginary situations in the past. It indicates that the result did not happen because the condition was not met. In the third conditional, the condition is expressed using the past perfect tense, and the result is expressed using the conditional perfect tense.

The structure of the third conditional is as follows:

If + past perfect, would have + past participle

For example:

Armenian	Pronunciation	English
Եթե + հաստատություն, կարող էի + բայցի երբեք չէի հասկանալ + բայցին։	Et'e + has'tatutyun, karog e + bayci er'ekh chei haskanal + baytsin.	If + past perfect, I could have + but sometimes I couldn't understand + but.
Եթե աշխատե՞ցիր, հասկանալու էիր + բայցի։	Et'e ashdetsir, haskanalou eir baytsi.	If you had worked, you would have understood.
Եթե գործադրեցիր գործադրությունը, ապա աշխատեցիր։	Et'e gorcadretsir gorcadrutyuny, apa ashdetsir.	If you had run the operation, then you would have worked.
Եթե կարող է՞իր այսպես հաշվել, ապա կարող էիր խմել։	Et'e karog eir ayspes hashvel, apa karog eir khmel.	If you could have imagined it this way, then you could have tasted it.

In the third conditional, the condition is expressed using the past perfect tense, and the result is expressed using "would have" followed by the past participle.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Understanding the cultural aspects of conditional sentences in Armenian can greatly enhance your language skills and cultural awareness. Let's explore some interesting cultural insights related to the usage of conditional sentences in different regions of Armenia.

In Armenia, there are regional variations in the usage and understanding of conditional sentences. For example, in the northern regions of Armenia, conditional sentences are often used to express politeness and indirect requests. People tend to use conditional sentences to soften their language and avoid direct commands or demands. This cultural nuance reflects the importance of politeness and respect in Armenian culture.

Furthermore, historical factors have influenced the usage of conditional sentences in Armenia. The Armenian language has evolved over centuries, and different dialects have emerged in various regions. These dialectal variations can also affect the formation and usage of conditional sentences. By exploring these regional and historical aspects, you gain a deeper understanding of the Armenian language and its cultural context.

-As an Armenian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am excited to introduce the topic of conditional sentences in Armenian language. This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Armenian Course" and is designed for beginner students who want to improve their Armenian sentence structure.
+== Types of Conditional Sentences ==
-Conditional sentences are used to express hypothetical scenarios or conditions, and their outcome or consequence. There are four types of conditional sentences in Armenian:
+Armenian conditional sentences can be divided into four main types: zero conditional, first conditional, second conditional, and third conditional. Each type has its own unique structure and usage. Let's explore each type in detail.
-. First Conditional Sentences
+=== Zero Conditional ===
-. Second Conditional Sentences
-. Third Conditional Sentences
-. Mixed Conditional Sentences
-Each type of conditional sentence has a specific structure and meaning. In this lesson, we will explore each type of conditional sentence, and how to form and use them in Armenian.
+The zero conditional is used to express general truths, scientific facts, and situations that are always true. It indicates that the result is always the same when the condition is met. In the zero conditional, both the condition and the result are in the present tense.
-== First Conditional Sentences ==
+The structure of the zero conditional is as follows:
-First conditional sentences express a real possibility or event in the future. They are formed by using the present simple tense in the 'if' clause and the future simple tense in the main clause. The word 'if' is translated into Armenian as 'եթե'.
+If + present simple, present simple
-Here's an example:
+For example:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| Եթե սեղմես այս կոճակը || Yeteh segmes asa kochakeh || If you press this button
+| Եթե + հաստատություն, հաստատություն է։ || Et'e + has'tatutyun, has'tatutyun e. || If + present simple, present simple.
 |-
-| այն ծանր-արդյունավետ է || ayn tsanr-ardyounavet eh || it will be helpful and smart
+| Եթե աշխատես, գիտես։ || Et'e ashdases, gites. || If you work, you know.
+|-
+| Եթե գործադրեք համակարգը, աշխատում է։ || Et'e gorcadrek hamakargy, ashdum e. || If you run the system, it works.
+|-
+| Եթե այսպես ես անելու, ապա այսպես ես միացի։ || Et'e ayspes es anelu, apa ayspes es miatsi. || If you want it this way, then you join like this.
 |}
-In the above example, the first clause ('if you press this button') is in the present simple tense (սեղմես), and the second clause ('it will be helpful and smart') is in the future simple tense (է).
+As you can see from the examples, the condition is expressed using the present simple tense, and the result is also in the present simple tense.
-== Second Conditional Sentences ==
+=== First Conditional ===
-Second conditional sentences express an unreal possibility or event in the present or future. They are formed by using the past simple tense in the 'if' clause and the conditional tense in the main clause. The word 'if' is translated in Armenian as 'եթե'.
+The first conditional is used to talk about real or possible situations in the future. It indicates that the result is likely to happen if the condition is met. In the first conditional, the condition is expressed using the present simple tense, and the result is expressed using the future simple tense.
-Here's an example:
+The structure of the first conditional is as follows:
+If + present simple, will + base form of the verb
+For example:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| Եթե ունենաք ժամ, || Yeteh ounenak zhham || If you had time,
+| Եթե + հաստատություն, կարող ես + բայցի երբեք ես հասկանալ + բայցին։ || Et'e + has'tatutyun, karog es + bayci er'ekh es haskanal + baytsin. || If + present simple, you can + but sometimes you understand + but.
 |-
-| կարող եք մոտենալ իմ տուն || karogh ek motenanal im tun || you could visit my house
+| Եթե աշխատես, հասկանալու ես բայցի։ || Et'e ashdases, haskanalou es baytsi. || If you work, you will understand.
+|-
+| Եթե գործադրեք գործադրությունը, ապա աշխատեք։ || Et'e gorcadrek gorcadrutyuny, apa ashdetk. || If you run the operation, then you work.
+|-
+| Եթե կարող ես այսպես հաշվել, ապա այսպես էլ կարող ես խմել։ || Et'e karog es ayspes hashvel, apa ayspes el karog es khmel. || If you can imagine it this way, then you can taste it like this.
 |}
-In the above example, the first clause ('if you had time') is in the past simple tense (ունենաք), and the second clause ('you could visit my house') is in the conditional tense (կարող եք).
+In the first conditional, the condition is expressed using the present simple tense, and the result is expressed using "will" followed by the base form of the verb.
-== Third Conditional Sentences ==
+=== Second Conditional ===
-Third conditional sentences express an unreal possibility or event in the past. They are formed by using the past perfect tense in the 'if' clause and the conditional perfect tense in the main clause. The word 'if' is translated in Armenian as 'եթե'.
+The second conditional is used to talk about unreal or imaginary situations in the present or future. It indicates that the result is unlikely or impossible to happen. In the second conditional, the condition is expressed using the past simple tense, and the result is expressed using the conditional tense.
-Here's an example:
+The structure of the second conditional is as follows:
+If + past simple, would + base form of the verb
+For example:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| Եթե ունենաք գնալու ժամանակ, || Yeteh ounenak gnalou zhamanak || If you had gone on time,
+| Եթե + հաստատություն, կարող էի + բայցի երբեք չէի հասկանալ + բայցին։ || Et'e + has'tatutyun, karog e + bayci er'ekh chei haskanal + baytsin. || If + past simple, I could + but sometimes I couldn't understand + but.
+|-
+| Եթե աշխատում էիր, հասկանալու էիր + բայցի։ || Et'e ashdum eir, haskanalou eir baytsi. || If you were working, you would understand.
+|-
+| Եթե գործադրերիր գործադրությունը, ապա աշխատում էիր։ || Et'e gorcadreir gorcadrutyuny, apa ashdum eir. || If you were running the operation, then you would be working.
 |-
-| չէիք ստացել կոշիկ || cheyk sdatsek koshik || you wouldn't have missed the train
+| Եթե կարող էիր այսպես հաշվել, ապա կարող էիր խմել։ || Et'e karog eir ayspes hashvel, apa karog eir khmel. || If you could imagine it this way, then you could taste it.
 |}
-In the above example, the first clause ('if you had gone on time') is in the past perfect tense (ունենաք), and the second clause ('you wouldn't have missed the train') is in the perfect conditional tense (չէիք ստացել).
+In the second conditional, the condition is expressed using the past simple tense, and the result is expressed using "would" followed by the base form of the verb.
+=== Third Conditional ===
-== Mixed Conditional Sentences ==
+The third conditional is used to talk about unreal or imaginary situations in the past. It indicates that the result did not happen because the condition was not met. In the third conditional, the condition is expressed using the past perfect tense, and the result is expressed using the conditional perfect tense.
-Mixed conditional sentences combine the elements of second and third conditional sentences. They express a hypothetical scenario, with the condition being in the past, and the result affecting the present or future. They are formed by using the past perfect tense in the 'if' clause and the conditional tense in the main clause. The word 'if' is translated in Armenian as 'եթե'.
+The structure of the third conditional is as follows:
-Here's an example:
+If + past perfect, would have + past participle
+For example:
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| Եթե տնային պահը ոչ միայն տուր չի պահանջվում, || Yeteh tnayin pahy voch miayin tour chi pahanjvoum || If householding did not require money only,
+| Եթե + հաստատություն, կարող էի + բայցի երբեք չէի հասկանալ + բայցին։ || Et'e + has'tatutyun, karog e + bayci er'ekh chei haskanal + baytsin. || If + past perfect, I could have + but sometimes I couldn't understand + but.
 |-
-| ապա այդ աշխատանքի ծավալը կարելիս էր մեծանալ || apa ayd ashkhatanki tsaval eh karlis er mehanal || the volume of those works could have been increased.
+| Եթե աշխատե՞ցիր, հասկանալու էիր + բայցի։ || Et'e ashdetsir, haskanalou eir baytsi. || If you had worked, you would have understood.

+|-
+| Եթե կարող է՞իր այսպես հաշվել, ապա կարող էիր խմել։ || Et'e karog eir ayspes hashvel, apa karog eir khmel. || If you could have imagined it this way, then you could have tasted it.
 |}
-In the above example, the first clause ('if householding did not require money only') is in the past perfect tense (տնային), and the second clause ('the volume of those works could have been increased') is in the conditional tense (կարելիս էր մեծանալ).
+In the third conditional, the condition is expressed using the past perfect tense, and the result is expressed using "would have" followed by the past participle.
