Usage notes
editAlthough the relative pronoun որ can be used when referring to both people and things, in recent times it has become common to use ով (ov) in place of it when referring to people due to hypercorrection (e.g., "Լևոնը, ով իմ ընկերն է" instead of "Լևոնը, որ իմ ընկերն է", to express "Levon, who is my friend")․
