Armenian word of the week

This week's word is,

Vocheanch

One of the most used words in spoken Armenian, vocheanch literally means nothing. Vocheanch is used in many ways.When are Armenians ask each other Vons es(how are you?) a normal response is vocheanch meaning alright or ok. Also when Armenian thank each other they often respond with vocheanch. I am writing this post on a computer at a local and when I thank the owners for letting me use their internet they will probably respond with vocheanch which would probably translate as "don't worry about it", "oh its no problem", or most literally, "its nothing."

Spanish is kind of the same thing, with the word, De nada, of nothing
