մի

մի

The Armenian word "մի" means "a," "one," or "don't" (depending on context).

In this sentence, 'մի' is used as an indefinite article, equivalent to 'a' in English, indicating an unspecified book.

Ես ուզում եմ մի գիրք ստանալ։

I want to receive a book.

Here, 'մի' is a negation marker used with the imperative mood, instructing not to perform the action.

Մի ասա ուրիշներին իմ գաղտնիքը։

Do not tell others my secret.

In this context, 'մի' is part of the phrase 'Մի անգամ', meaning 'Once', and it sets the scene for a story or anecdote.

Մի անգամ մի տղա գտավ կորած գանձը։

Once a boy found the lost treasure.
