Armenian word of the week

So I intend this to be a regular feature. The word for this week is,

hegthloak- this means well-behaved,good,intelligent and is usually applied to children. Often this word is said to children with the verd for remain(mnal) to say what we would tranlate as behave, but would literally say remain good! In my school one can often hear teachers saying hethloak mna! remain good! It can be difficult to render Armenian sounds into english letters so in the future I will try to find a way to put the word in Armenian characters so that you can actually see what the word looks in addition to the English transliteration.
