Usage notes

edit

In standard Eastern Armenian, ուր (ur) is used to indicate direction of movement, while որտեղ is used to indicate location (e.g., "ո՞ւր ես գնում" ("where are you going?") vs. "որտե՞ղ ես" ("where are you?)). However, this distinction is often ignored in everyday speech in favor of ուր for both senses.
