1. Ո՞րն է քո հեռախոսահամարը։

   Vorn e ko herakhosahamary?

   What is your phone number?

   Usage

   When exchanging contact information

   Grammar Note

   "Herakhosahamar" compounds "herakhos" (telephone) and "hamar" (number). Armenia's country code is +374 and Yerevan's area code is 10.

2. Կարո՞ղ եք տալ ձեր էլեկտրոնային փոստի հասցեն։

   Karogh ek tal dzer elektronayin posti hastsen?

   Could I have your email address?

   Usage

   When asking for someone's email address

   Grammar Note

   "Elektronayin phost" (electronic mail) is the formal term; in writing it is often shortened to "el. phost".

3. Դու Ֆեյսբուքու՞մ ես։

   Du Feysbukum es?

   Are you on Facebook?

   Usage

   When asking to connect on social media

   Grammar Note

   Even loanwords take the locative "-um": "Feysbuk" becomes "Feysbukum". Alongside Facebook, WhatsApp and Viber are widely used in Armenia.

4. Կարո՞ղ եմ տեսնել քո Ինստագրամը։

   Karogh em tesnel ko Instagramy?

   Can I see your Instagram?

   Usage

   When asking to see someone's Instagram account

   Grammar Note

   The informal possessive is "ko" and the polite one "dzer"; foreign proper nouns also take the definite article "-y".

5. Ո՞րն է քո Վաթսափի համարը։

   Vorn e ko Vatsapi hamary?

   What is your WhatsApp?

   Usage

   When asking for someone's WhatsApp contact

   Grammar Note

   Loanwords ending in a consonant take the genitive "-i": "Vathsaph" becomes "Vathsaphi". WhatsApp is one of Armenia's most-used messengers.

6. Կարո՞ղ ենք միասին լուսանկարվել։

   Karogh enk miasin lusankarvel?

   Can we take a photo together?

   Usage

   When wanting to take a photo together

   Grammar Note

   "Lusankar" (photo) is "luys" (light) plus "nkar" (picture); adding "-v-" gives "lusankarvel", to be photographed.

7. Սա իմ հասցեն է։

   Sa im hastsen e.

   Here is my address

   Usage

   When sharing your address

   Grammar Note

   Nouns ending in a vowel take the article "-n", giving "hastsen". Armenian addresses run street, number, apartment, and Yerevan signs usually show both Armenian and Latin script.

8. Կարո՞ղ եմ քեզ զանգել։

   Karogh em kez zangel?

   May I call you?

   Usage

   When asking permission to call someone

   Grammar Note

   "Zangel" (to call) derives from "zang" (bell); the person called appears in the dative, hence "kez".

9. Ժամը քանիսի՞ն կարող եմ քեզ հետ կապվել։

   Zhamy kanisin karogh em kez het kapvel?

   What time can I contact you?

   Usage

   When confirming availability for contact

   Grammar Note

   "Kapvel" (to get in touch) comes from "kap" (connection); the postposition "het" (with) governs the genitive-dative. Armenia is UTC+4, five hours behind Japan.

10. Շատ հաճելի էր ձեզ հետ ծանոթանալը։

    Shat hacheli er dzez het tsanotanaly.

    It was a great pleasure to meet you

    Usage

    A polite farewell expression

    Grammar Note

    Adding the article "-y" to an infinitive makes a verbal noun: "tsanothanal" becomes "tsanothanaly"; politeness comes from the plural "dzez".
