Hi 
Թե te (Western Armenian: թէ) is a word that disturbs me a lot. I would like to know if there is any difference between թե and կամ kam (W.A.: gam).
For instance, is it possible to say either:
Ո՞նց ես: Լավ թե վա՞տ: Vonc es? Lav te vat? ''How are you? Fine or bad?''
or:
...Լավ կամ վա՞տ: ...Lav kam vat?
Or is the second sentence unacceptable? And if both are possible, is there any difference in their meaning?
The second part of my question is about թե meaning ''that''. Can I say:
Ասում է՝ որ ահավոր է: Asum e vor ahavor e. ''He says (that) it is horrible''.
Կարծում եմ, որ Ծովինարը հիվանդ է: Karcum em vor Covinary hivand e. ''I think (that) Tsovinar is ill''.
...or is թե the only acceptable connector here?
Thank you
