General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: During the time (During the reign) of King Tigran(es) The Second. | How would one say this ("During the time (During the reign) of King Tigran(es) The Second") in Armenian? It refers to the famous King Tigran(es) or Dikran II The Great of ancient Armenia who fought against Romans, Parthians and Seleucids (Macedonian descendants of Alexander the Great's army) with a fair amount of success often playing the different groups off against each other.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sincerely,
Brian Costello |

Sure, oroq means both "time" and "reign". When we say "Tigran Yerkrordi oroq", we understand that some event happened during the time of his reign. Similarly, when we say "Sovetakan ishkhanutian oroq", we mean "during the time of Soviet rule". |

| Grading comment Thank you very much, Karen, for your translation.
My thanks also to Vlad for his translation.
I believe both answers to be correct but feel that Karen's was the "most helpful" one. It also compares somewhat with a post I found on the internet in an Armenian history / politics forum which reads: "Copqy ev Poqr Hajqy grawecin Tigran II oroq..."
In Romanian, one foreign language I've studied, it's possible to say it somewhat in the same manner as English:
Pe vremea lui Tigran II = In the time of Tigran II and In timpul regatului lui Tigran II = During the reign of Tigran II. I was hoping that Armenian would be just as clear cut. But every language is different and often has very different classification schemes too.
Anyhow, both of you gentlemen gave me some useful information.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Brian Costello

Asker: Karen, what does "oroq" mean in English in your translation? Does it cover the meanings of both "time" and "reign?" Could you please let me know?
Thank you,
Brian Costello
