Armenian
- (yes) busa'ker=banjara'ker em. (Ja sam vegetarijanac)
- (yes) mis/panir/kat/dzu=havkit/meghr 'chem utum. (Ne jedem meso/sir/mlijeko/jaja/med)
Words separated by = are synonyms, e.g. you can say dzu or havkit. ch as in English. (yes) means you can leave this out. These are Eastern Armenian forms, i.e. the variety of Armenian spoken in Armenia, Russia, etc. and Iran, but they are easily understood by Armenians everywhere. The apostrophe *preceding* a syllable means that syllable is more strongly stressed. Pronounce the vowels as in Italian or Spanish, or should I say Scottish, i.e. a, e, i, o, u as in heart, get (gate), feet, note, soot, but shorter. These are only approximate transcriptions, since Armenian has its own alphabet.
