School & Education

1. Որտե՞ղ է համալսարանը։

   Vortegh e hamalsarany?

   Where is the university?

   Usage

   Used to ask for the location of a university

   Grammar Note

   "Hamalsaran" (university) is a compound noun; adding the definite article "-y" gives "hamalsarany".

2. Ժամը քանիսի՞ն է սկսվում դասը։

   Zhamy kanisin e sksvum dasy?

   What time does the class start?

   Usage

   Used to ask the start time of a class or lecture

   Grammar Note

   "Sksvel" is intransitive ("something begins"), as opposed to the transitive "sksel" (to begin something).

3. Կարո՞ղ եմ օգտվել գրադարանից։

   Karogh em ogtvel gradaranits?

   Can I use the library?

   Usage

   Used to ask permission to use the library

   Grammar Note

   "Ogtvel" (to use) governs the ablative "-its": "gradaran" becomes "gradaranits"; the word joins "gir" (writing) and "daran" (repository).

4. Կարո՞ղ եմ հանձնել առաջադրանքը։

   Karogh em handznel arajadranky?

   Can I submit the assignment?

   Usage

   Used to ask a teacher how or when to submit an assignment

   Grammar Note

   "Handznel" means "to hand in", and also "to sit an exam" in the phrase "knnutyun handznel".

5. Ուզում եմ ավելին իմանալ կրթաթոշակների մասին։

   Uzum em avelin imanal krtatoshakneri masin.

   I want to learn more about scholarships

   Usage

   Used to inquire about scholarship programs

   Grammar Note

   The postposition "masin" (about) follows its noun and governs the genitive; "krthathoshak" (scholarship) joins "krthutyun" (education) and "thoshak" (stipend).

6. Ներեցեք, կարո՞ղ եմ հարց տալ։

   Neretsek, karogh em harts tal?

   May I ask a question?

   Usage

   Used to ask permission to pose a question during class

   Grammar Note

   "Neretsek", the imperative of "nerel" (to forgive), works as "excuse me"; "harts tal" literally means "to give a question".

7. Կարո՞ղ եք ինձ օգնել։

   Karogh ek indz ognel?

   Could you help me?

   Usage

   Used to ask for help with studies or assignments

   Grammar Note

   Using the plural "ek" makes the request polite; "ognel" (to help) takes a dative object, hence "indz" (to me).

8. Ե՞րբ է քննությունը։

   Yerb e knnutyuny?

   When is the exam?

   Usage

   Used to ask a teacher or classmate when the exam is

   Grammar Note

   "Knnutyun" (exam) comes from "knnel" (to examine); the abstract-noun suffix "-utyun" is highly productive.

9. Ո՞ր կամպուսում է հանրակացարանը։

   Vor kampusum e hanrakatsarany?

   Which campus is the dormitory on?

   Usage

   Used to ask about the location of a university dormitory

   Grammar Note

   The locative "-um" marks place: "kampus" becomes "kampusum"; "hanrakatsaran" is a compound meaning "communal dwelling".

10. Հնարավո՞ր է ընդունվել այս դպրոց։

    Hnaravor e yndunvel ays dprots?

    Is it possible to enroll at the school?

    Usage

    Used to inquire about school enrollment procedures

    Grammar Note

    Inserting "-v-" turns "yndunel" (to accept) into the passive "yndunvel" (to be admitted, to enroll).
