հաց (hats)

Meaning: bread. Memory: It sounds like “hats”; imagine a loaf of bread wearing a hat.

հայր (hayr)

Meaning: father. Pair it with հայրիկ (hayrik, “dad”); both use the same root.

հայրիկ (hayrik)

Meaning: dad. The -իկ (-ik) ending makes it sound more familiar or affectionate, similar to “dad/daddy.”

համ (ham)

Meaning: taste or flavor. It sounds like English “ham,” a food with a distinctive flavor.

հյուր (hyur)

Meaning: guest. Think “your guest” arriving at the door; hyur sounds a little like “your.”

հյութ (hyut)

Meaning: juice. Pair it with հյուր: offer your guest (hyur) some juice (hyut).

հավ (hav)

Meaning: hen. Think: “I have a hen”; hav sounds close to “have.”

հեռախոս (herrakhos)

Meaning: telephone. Think “far speech”: a telephone lets you speak across a distance; kh is like the ch in “loch.”

հագուստ (hagust)

Meaning: clothes. Picture a gust of wind blowing your clothes to remember ha-gust.

հեծանիվ (hetsaniv)

Meaning: bicycle. Break this longer word into three beats: het-sa-niv, while picturing a bicycle.

Երկուշաբթի (Yerkushabti)

Meaning: Monday. Yerku means “two”; Monday begins the weekday counting pattern used through Thursday.

Երեքշաբթի (Yerekshabti)

Meaning: Tuesday. Yerek means “three”; notice the shared -shabti ending with Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Չորեքշաբթի (Chorekshabti)

Meaning: Wednesday. Chorek relates to “four”; focus on the opening sound while keeping the familiar -shabti ending.

Հինգշաբթի (Hingshabti)

Meaning: Thursday. Hing means “five”; it is the last weekday in the two-three-four-five + shabti pattern.

Ուրբաթ (Urbat)

Meaning: Friday. Unlike Monday through Thursday, it does not use the -shabti ending, so learn it as a separate word.

Շաբաթ (Shabat)

Meaning: Saturday. Shabat can also mean “week,” so the surrounding sentence tells you which meaning is intended.

Կիրակի (Kiraki)

Meaning: Sunday. It stands apart from the -shabti pattern; learn Kiraki and Shabat together as the weekend pair.

շաբաթ (shabat)

Meaning: week. The same word can mean “Saturday,” so rely on context to distinguish the two meanings.

աշխատանքային օր (ashkhatankayin or)

Meaning: weekday. Literally think “working day”: աշխատանքային is work-related, and օր means day.

հանգստյան օր (hangstyan or)

Meaning: day off or weekend day. Think “rest day”; օր means day, while the first word relates to rest.

այս շաբաթ (ays shabat)

Meaning: this week. Այս (ays) means “this,” so this phrase is simply “this + week.”

անցած շաբաթ (ancats shabat)

Meaning: last week. Անցած (ancats) suggests something that has passed, so picture the week already behind you.

հաջորդ շաբաթ (hajord shabat)

Meaning: next week. Հաջորդ (hajord) means “next”; contrast it directly with անցած շաբաթ, “last week.”

Այսօր (aysor)

Meaning: today. Review it together with երեկ (yerek, “yesterday”) as a simple time-word pair.

Երեկ (yerek)

Meaning: yesterday. Think of the day immediately before այսօր (aysor, “today”).

Ամեն շաբաթ (amen shabat)

Meaning: every week. Ամեն (amen) means “every,” making this a useful reusable time phrase.
