ինքն

ինքն

The Armenian word "ինքն" means "self" or "oneself" in English.

In this sentence, 'ինքն' is used as a pronoun referring to 'he' or 'she', depending on the context, and acts as the subject.

Ինքն ինձ ասաց, որ ուշանալը խնդիր չէ։

He told me that being late is not a problem.

Here, 'ինքն իրեն' is a reflexive construction where 'ինքն' emphasizes the subject referring back to itself, equivalent to 'himself' or 'herself'.

Նա նայեց հայելուն ու ինքն իրեն հարցրեց՝ ճիշտ արե՞ց։

He looked in the mirror and asked himself whether he did the right thing.

In this context, 'ինքն' is a root within the compound word 'ինքնուրույն', which means 'independently', showing an idiomatic or derived use.

Ինքնուրույն սովորելու հնարավորությունը մեծ գանձ է։

The ability to study independently is a great treasure.
