Armenian proverbs represent a storehouse of folk wisdom, appealing to people from all walks of life.
Readers are invited to browse through the treasury of an ancient oral tradition. Despite the enormous volume of literature on proverbs in general, Armenian proverbs have yet to receive their full share of attention on an international level. The translation of 2,500 Armenian proverbs into English in this book attempts to give the English-speaking reader a glimpse into the wealth of ideas and messages that Armenian proverbs convey, and to make them palatable and memorable, by conveying as much as humanly possible of their pithiness, punch, and poetry. You are as many a person as languages you know. The book starts with an introductory study dealing with a variety of paremiological discussions such as the linguistic features of Armenian proverbs, their content and their origin.
