Lately, not a single day has passed without the Armenian phrase "cavd tanem" [ցավդ տանեմ], directly translating to "Let me take away your pain", crossing my mind. A phrase filled with such deep devotion and yet, it's uttered daily and graces simple everyday conversations. In a sentence, it simply replaces the name of the addressee.
"Vonc es, cavd tanem?" - "How are you, [let me take your pain away]?"
"Cavd tanem, jur kberes?" - "[Let me take away your pain], could you bring me a glass of water?"
Such abundance of love that miniature rivers of it effortlessly flow into the most pedestrian pathways!

Kim kardashian she's mixed with white(she west asian armenian)from her biological father side but anyway she still appropriate black culture and took benefit from it. Non black woman try so hard into black woman safe space to get benefit from it. Kim kardashian have her own culture that she could embrace but hey she would rather take profit from black culture
The reason why I said Kim Kardashian is a white woman is the fact that she be acting like her Armenian side doesn’t exist … It was only recently when she visited the country, where we could really see that she had some ties to the Armenian culture, but overall the entire Kardashian family likes to pretend that they don’t have that culture. And also the reason why I said Kim Kardashian is a white woman is because she 100% benefits from white privilege and overall likes to pretend that she isn’t mixed. Kim Kardashian could literally be an ethnic trendsetter by bringing Armenian culture into the 21st-century and adding her own flare… But sadly I just know she won’t do that.

Hey, sorry if this is creepy but have you seen Author! Author!? It's this 80's family comedy where Al plays a playwright and a single father who is Armenian and I think you might like it, it's very cute ❤
Hi Anon, you’re not being creepy at all loll!! And yes I’ve seen “Author! Author!” and I absolutely loved it! I was so surprised when Al’s character said that he was Armenian because based off of the last name I was wondering if he was. It’s a really cute movie and I recommend it to anyone who loves Al. Plus he’s really hot in it, a true Dilf.
Fun fact, Al actually went in to play another Armenian in “You Don’t Know Jack” (2010), where he played the real life Dr. Jack Kevorkian, he even won a Golden Globe for it!
But thank you so much for the question, us Armenian’s don’t have much representation in the media since we’re such a small country, but as a majority of us immigrated to LA more and more people became aware of Armenians and Armenian culture so it’s nice to see one of my all time favorite actors portray my culture!

The Temple of Garni, Armenia The 24 pillars of the temple symbolize the 24 hours of the day, while the steps leading to the temple are so tall and arduous to ascend that upon reaching the top, it's difficult to fathom having climbed merely nine steps. The height of these stairs is intentional; even the most fit and tallest individual, ascending the temple, must bow with each step. The solemn ascent demands a deliberate pace—running up the stairs is impossible; one must instead bow in reverence and contemplate with each step.
