As a student of Armenian, you will soon learn that verbs play a crucial role in expressing action and tense in the language. Understanding how to form and use the present tense is a vital step towards mastering Armenian. In this lesson, you will learn how to form regular and irregular present tense verbs in Armenian and how to use them in different contexts, including daily life and conversation. Let's get started!
=== The Importance of the Present Tense ===


The present tense is essential for expressing actions that are currently happening or habitual. In Armenian, mastering the present tense allows you to describe your daily life, share your opinions, and engage in conversations. Whether you're ordering food, talking about your hobbies, or discussing your family, the present tense will be your go-to tool for communication. Let’s look at how to form the present tense in Armenian!

=== Regular Verbs in the Present Tense ===
== Regular Present Tense Verbs ==


Armenian verbs are split into two main categories: Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian. Western Armenian is used mainly in the Armenian diaspora, while Eastern Armenian is used in Armenia, Iran, and the former Soviet republics. In this lesson, we will focus on Eastern Armenian, which has its own distinctive conjugation structure.
In Armenian, regular verbs follow specific conjugation patterns. To conjugate a regular verb in the present tense, you typically replace the infinitive ending with present tense endings based on the subject pronoun. Let's explore this with an example:


The present tense of Armenian verbs has three different endings, depending on the subject of the sentence. Let's take a look at the present tense of the verb "to speak" for each of the three persons in Armenian:
==== The Verb "to go" (գնալ) ====


{| class="wikitable"
1. Infinitive: գնալ (gnal) - to go
! Person !! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
2. Conjugation Pattern:
| I || խոսում եմ || khosoom yem || I am speaking
 
|-
* I go: ես գնում (yes gnum)
| You || խոսում ես || khosoom es || You are speaking
 
|-
* You (singular) go: դու գնում ես (du gnum yes)
| He/She/It || խոսում է || khosoom e || He/She/It is speaking
 
|}
* He/She goes: նա գնում է (na gnum e)


To form the present tense of a regular Eastern Armenian verb, follow these steps:
* We go: մենք գնում ենք (menq gnum enk)


1. Take the infinitive form of the verb (which ends in -ել or -ալ).
* You (plural/formal) go: դուք գնում եք (duq gnum eq)
2. Remove the last two letters of the infinitive form (-լ).
3. Add one of the following endings, depending on the subject of the sentence:


-ում - for the subject "I"
* They go: նրանք գնում են (nranq gnum en)
-ս - for the subject "You" (singular)
-է - for the subject "He/She/It"
-ենք - for the subject "We"
-եք - for the subject "You" (plural)
-են - for the subject "They"


Here's an example using the verb "to watch":
Now let’s summarize this in a table:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
|-
| I || դիտում եմ || ditum yem || I am watching
 
| ես գնում || yes gnum || I go
 
|-
|-
| You || դիտում ես || ditum es || You are watching
 
| դու գնում ես || du gnum yes || You (singular) go
 
|-
|-
| He/She/It || դիտում է || ditum e || He/She/It is watching
 
| նա գնում է || na gnum e || He/She goes
 
|-
|-
| We || դիտում ենք || ditum enk || We are watching
 
| մենք գնում ենք || menq gnum enk || We go
 
|-
|-
| You (plural) || դիտում եք || ditum ek || You (plural) are watching
 
| դուք գնում եք || duq gnum eq || You (plural/formal) go
 
|-
|-
| They || դիտում են || ditum en || They are watching
 
| նրանք գնում են || nranq gnum en || They go
 
|}
|}


As you can see from the table, the only part of the verb that changes is the ending. This makes it relatively easy to conjugate regular Armenian verbs in the present tense, once you know the basic structure. Let's take a look at a few more regular verbs in the present tense:
=== Irregular Verbs in the Present Tense ===
 
Irregular verbs in Armenian do not follow the standard conjugation patterns, and their forms must be memorized. Let’s take a look at the verb "to be" (լինել) as a common example.
 
==== The Verb "to be" (լինել) ====
 
1. Infinitive: լինել (linel) - to be
 
2. Conjugation:
 
* I am: ես եմ (yes em)
 
* You (singular) are: դու ես (du yes)
 
* He/She is: նա է (na e)
 
* We are: մենք ենք (menq enk)
 
* You (plural/formal) are: դուք եք (duq eq)


=== Example Verbs ===
* They are: նրանք են (nranq en)
* գումար (gum-ar) - to count
 
Here’s how this looks in a table:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| I || գումարում եմ || gumaroom yem || I am counting

|-
|-
| You || գումարում ես || gumaroom es || You are counting
 
| դու ես || du yes || You (singular) are
 
|-
|-
| He/She/It || գումարում է || gumaroom e || He/She/It is counting
 
| նա է || na e || He/She is
 
|-
|-
| We || գումարում ենք || gumaroomeh-nk || We are counting
 
| մենք ենք || menq enk || We are
 
|-
|-
| You (plural) || գումարում եք || gumaroomeh-k || You (plural) are counting
 
| դուք եք || duq eq || You (plural/formal) are
 
|-
|-
| They || գումարում են || gumaroom-ehn || They are counting
 
| նրանք են || nranq en || They are

In Armenian, each verb has a base form, which is the form of the verb when it's not being used in a specific tense or form. This base form is the infinitive of the verb, which typically ends in -ել or -ալ. For example, the base form of the verb "to speak" is խոսել (khosel), and the base form of the verb "to watch" is դիտել (diteel).
* You (plural/formal) drink: դուք խմում եք (duq khmum eq)


== Irregular Present Tense Verbs ==
* They drink: նրանք խմում են (nranq khmum en)


In Armenian, there are several commonly used verbs that follow irregular conjugation rules in the present tense. Memorizing these irregular verbs is an important step towards mastering Armenian grammar. Let's take a look at some of the most commonly used irregular present tense verbs:
7. '''Translation:''' "You (plural) are learning well."


=== "To Be" ===
8. '''Example sentence:''' Ես հայերեն եմ սովորում (yes hayeren em sovorum).


The verb "to be" is irregular in Armenian and doesn't follow the typical conjugation structure described earlier. Instead, it has its own special conjugation:
9. '''Fill in the blank:''' She likes ice cream: Նա սերուցք է սիրում (na serutsq e sirum).


{| class="wikitable"
10. '''Translation:''' Մենք բասկետբոլ ենք խաղում (menq basketbol enk khaghum).
! Person !! Armenian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| I || եմ || yem || I am
|-
| You || ես || es || You are
|-
| He/She/It || է || e || He/She/It is
|-
| We || ենք || enk || We are
|-
| You (plural) || եք || ek || You (plural) are
|-
| They || են || en || They are
|}


As you can see, the verb "to be" has its own unique forms for each person. Notice that the Armenian language doesn't distinguish between "is" and "are" in the present tense. The verb է (e) can be translated as either "is" or "are".
By practicing these exercises, you can reinforce your understanding of the present tense and improve your ability to communicate effectively in Armenian. Remember, practice makes perfect! Keep exploring the language, and soon you’ll find yourself conversing with ease.


Here are a few example sentences using the verb "to be":
{{#seo:


* Ես կանչելու եմ (yes kan-chel-oo yem) - I am calling

Armenian → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Present Tense

Welcome to the "Armenian Grammar → Present Tense" lesson! Understanding the present tense is crucial for beginners learning Armenian, as it forms the foundation for communicating daily activities, feelings, and thoughts. This lesson will guide you through the intricacies of forming and using the present tense in Armenian, including both regular and irregular verb conjugations. By the end, you will feel confident in constructing sentences and expressing yourself in the present.

In this lesson, we will cover:

  • The importance of the present tense in communication.
  • How to form the present tense for regular verbs.
  • How to form the present tense for irregular verbs.
  • Practical examples to illustrate each point.
  • Exercises for practice with detailed solutions.

Let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of Armenian present tense!

The Importance of the Present Tense[edit | edit source]

The present tense is essential for expressing actions that are currently happening or habitual. In Armenian, mastering the present tense allows you to describe your daily life, share your opinions, and engage in conversations. Whether you're ordering food, talking about your hobbies, or discussing your family, the present tense will be your go-to tool for communication. Let’s look at how to form the present tense in Armenian!

Regular Verbs in the Present Tense[edit | edit source]

In Armenian, regular verbs follow specific conjugation patterns. To conjugate a regular verb in the present tense, you typically replace the infinitive ending with present tense endings based on the subject pronoun. Let's explore this with an example:

The Verb "to go" (գնալ)[edit | edit source]

1. Infinitive: գնալ (gnal) - to go

2. Conjugation Pattern:

  • I go: ես գնում (yes gnum)
  • You (singular) go: դու գնում ես (du gnum yes)
  • He/She goes: նա գնում է (na gnum e)
  • We go: մենք գնում ենք (menq gnum enk)
  • You (plural/formal) go: դուք գնում եք (duq gnum eq)
  • They go: նրանք գնում են (nranq gnum en)

Now let’s summarize this in a table:

Armenian Pronunciation English
ես գնում yes gnum I go
դու գնում ես du gnum yes You (singular) go
նա գնում է na gnum e He/She goes
մենք գնում ենք menq gnum enk We go
դուք գնում եք duq gnum eq You (plural/formal) go
նրանք գնում են nranq gnum en They go

Irregular Verbs in the Present Tense[edit | edit source]

Irregular verbs in Armenian do not follow the standard conjugation patterns, and their forms must be memorized. Let’s take a look at the verb "to be" (լինել) as a common example.

The Verb "to be" (լինել)[edit | edit source]

1. Infinitive: լինել (linel) - to be

2. Conjugation:

  • I am: ես եմ (yes em)
  • You (singular) are: դու ես (du yes)
  • He/She is: նա է (na e)
  • We are: մենք ենք (menq enk)
  • You (plural/formal) are: դուք եք (duq eq)
  • They are: նրանք են (nranq en)

Here’s how this looks in a table:

Armenian Pronunciation English
ես եմ yes em I am
դու ես du yes You (singular) are
նա է na e He/She is
մենք ենք menq enk We are
դուք եք duq eq You (plural/formal) are
նրանք են nranq en They are
