IN PERFECT ARMENIAN

Interwoven throughout THE PERFECT ARMENIAN (more on the book later), in perfect Armenian,   the author weaves Armenian customs and sayings. One that struck Marash girl as particularly poignant is the following.

 Ուշ ըլլայ, անուշ ըլլայ:

Oush ullah, anoush ullah.

When it is late, it is sweet. (Or in English, the later it is, the sweeter it is.)

Anyone out there disagree?

  1. I think, you meant -- Ուշ ըլլայ, անուշ ըլլայ: You may delete this comment, dear Marash girl.
