Business & Work

1. Ես հանդիպում ունեմ։

   Yes handipum unem.

   I have a meeting

   Usage

   Used to inform someone you have a business meeting

   Grammar Note

   "Unem" is the first-person singular present of "unenal" (to have); Armenian expresses possession with this verb.

2. Ձեր այցեքարտն ունե՞ք։

   Dzer aytsekartn unek?

   Do you have a business card?

   Usage

   Used in a business context to ask for a business card

   Grammar Note

   "Unek" is the polite plural of "unenal" (to have); before a vowel the definite article becomes "-n", giving "aytsekartn".

3. Մենք խոսում ենք համագործակցության մասին։

   Menk khosum enk hamagortsaktsutyan masin.

   We are talking about cooperation

   Usage

   Used in business negotiations or meetings

   Grammar Note

   The postposition "masin" (about) governs the genitive, so "hamagortsaktsutyun" becomes "hamagortsaktsutyan".

4. Կցանկանայի քննարկել առաջարկը։

   Ktsankanayi knnarkel arajarky.

   I would like to consider the proposal

   Usage

   Used when you need time to consider a business proposal

   Grammar Note

   The conditional is formed with the prefix "k-"; "Ktsankanayi" plus an infinitive gives the polite "I would like to ...".

5. Կցանկանայի ստորագրել պայմանագիրը։

   Ktsankanayi storagrel paymanagiry.

   I would like to sign the contract

   Usage

   Used when concluding a business deal and ready to sign

   Grammar Note

   Infinitives end in "-el"; "paymanagir" (contract) combines "payman" (condition) and "gir" (writing).

6. Ժամը քանիսի՞ն է սկսվում հանդիպումը։

   Zhamy kanisin e sksvum handipumy?

   When does the meeting start?

   Usage

   Used to confirm the start time of a business meeting

   Grammar Note

   "Sksvel" (to begin) is the mediopassive of "sksel" (to start); clock times are asked with "zhamy kanisin".

7. Կցանկանայի զեղչ ստանալ։

   Ktsankanayi zeghch stanal.

   I would like a discount

   Usage

   Used when negotiating a price reduction

   Grammar Note

   The conditional "Ktsankanayi" is softer than a direct demand and is preferred in negotiations.

8. Խնդրում եմ ինձ հետ կապվել էլեկտրոնային փոստով։

   Khndrum em indz het kapvel elektronayin postov.

   Please contact me by email

   Usage

   Used to request email correspondence in a business setting

   Grammar Note

   "Khndrum em" plus an infinitive makes a polite request; means is marked by the instrumental "-ov", as in "phostov" (by mail).

9. Ես կուղարկեմ հաստատում։

   Yes kugharkem hastatum.

   I will send a confirmation

   Usage

   Used to inform someone you will send a confirmation message

   Grammar Note

   The future is the subjunctive with the prefix "k-": "ugharkem" becomes "kugharkem" (I will send).

10. Պայմանները բոլորի համար արդար են։

    Paymannery bolori hamar ardar en.

    The terms are fair for everyone

    Usage

    Used in the final stage of negotiations to confirm fair terms

    Grammar Note

    The postposition "hamar" (for) governs the genitive, so "bolor" becomes "bolori".
