Ցտեսութիւն and Հաջող: goodbye and bye

Tsdesut'yun is built around the verb տեսնել — to see — and literally means "until we see each other". It is the neutral farewell for every occasion: strangers, elders, offices, the phone. For example: “Ցտեսութիւն, մինչ նոր հանդիպում” — Goodbye, until we meet again. A rule from the Western Armenian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.

How it works

Tsdesut'yun is built around the verb տեսնել (desnel) — to see — and literally means "until we see each other". It is the neutral farewell for every occasion: strangers, elders, offices, the phone.

Hachogh — the informal "bye" between friends and equals. The letter ջ reads "ch" here: ha-CHOGH. It is the short form of Հաջողութիւն (hachoghut'yun) — "good luck". The full word is also a farewell, meaning "bye" and "good luck" at once. As an ordinary noun hachoghut'yun means "success" — medz hachoghut'yun, a big success. Only its place in the sentence tells the two meanings apart.

The same root gave the impersonal verb հաջողիլ — to succeed: the one who succeeded stands in the dative, indzi hachoghetsov.

How the rule settles in your head

A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
