Did you know?
- The Armenian word սպագետի entered the language via Russian rather than directly from Italian.
- In casual Armenian conversation, people might use the word մակարոն (makaron) more frequently than սպագետի when referring to pasta in general.
- Armenian has no single native word for 'pasta', which is why it relies on loanwords like սպագետի to describe the food.
