Indefinite Article in Armenian

To refer to indefinite objects we simply omit the definite article.


1) Դու աղջիկ ունե՞ս։ Do you have a daughter?


2) Խնձոր ուտու՞մ ես։ Do you eat (any) apples?


But to translate English sentences that use the indefinite article “a/an”with the meaning of “some,” we use ինչ-որ, ինչ-որ մի or simply մի:


1) Ամեն օր ինչ-որ մի աղջիկ է գալիս մեր գրասենյակ։ A (some) girl comes to our office every day.


2) Ես ինչ-որ դեղատոմս ունեմ։ I have a (some) prescription.
