Ekhrestos anesty Dear @Remnkemi We certainly say St Mary.. "tyetouab Maria", "diageya Maria", etc. Mar in Coptic titles is a prefix for the abbreviated word "martiros". It is not a proper Arabic word.. Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty I have been listening to some parts and it sounds like a compilation of some of the notations (hazzat) of jenetleyon! Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty Dear @Misho I realised that I made another mistake in the postscript explanation but not in the translation of the anthem itself. Please ignore the ar in "deraartshisi". Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty Edited in the last post, article after 'bnoudi and removing a prefix from the same phrase.. Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty Dear @Misho, I can try and translate that when I sit on my computer. Perhaps you can send me the Arabic version too as it is bound to help me a bit more than English.. Let me know anyway.. Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty Dear @mabsoota, You are absolutely right. I will take your advice. I do need your prayers though.. Oujai khan ebshois

Alitos anesty Khan owmatmai afdonf Because you can't go and meet the education minister, or mister president, or the Queen dressed like that. How much more is it for the King of Kings? Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty Dear @Remnkemi I will do some research on this as I am away from home at the moment. Www.remenkimi.com is not the only reference but I will make sure that what I have is foolproof before I quote anything further. Most if not all …

Ekhrestos anesty Dear @minatasgeel, You probably forgot that @imikhail quoted the text showing that the conclusion of the first canticle as it is documented in the psalmody. Secondly I did not mention your name because you agree with me, I actuall…

Ekhrestos anesty Thank you @mabsoota I didn't even know that it was an old tradition.. What a rich denomination we are! Oh wait.. It is boring and unpalatable and completely tasteless.. Yes I am quite sad with some Copts these days.. Oujai khan e…

Ekhrestos anesty No @Remnkemi, I certainly am not arguing that repetition is an Arabic influence, and I was wrong thinking you were studying Arabic. Repetition with the purpose of emphasis is an Arabic metaphorical characteristic not Coptic. Please…

Ekhrestos anesty, I thought the synod advised against any deacon swinging the shoria like abouna! Oujai khan ebshois

Ekhrestos anesty No, Daniel should not be added. This is a passage from the Bible in its entirety and does not include Daniel. We do not add or detract from the words of the Bible Oujai khan ebshois

Thanks @qawe, I hope you are right but I do believe that is one of the major factors besides the reluctance to learn the Coptic language Oujai khan ebshois
-
The congregation in the Coptic church rules. And they do not understand Coptic. So we have to appease them and pander to their needs. Please do not start me.. Oops I already have! Oujai khan ebshois

Dear @Remnkemi, I sense that you are learning Arabic as a language, or studying an advanced level in it and I can tell you that repetition of words for the purpose of emphasis is an Arabic metaphorical characteristic but not Coptic. However I would…
-
Well said @Daniel_Kyrillos, therefore such expressions do not convey emphasis in that sense.. Oujai khan ebshois

Dear @DLangley, May I ask which region are you planning on attending the church in? As a rule of thumb, you could familiarise yourself with two books in our church, the kholagy (euchologion) and psalmody. The former contains the rituals and prayers …

I should have said except in a few cases when eksi or ebsi are the first letter of some specific words, especially "made up" ones! Oujai khan ebshois

Dear @Daniel_Kyrillos, I used to question those very recordings but I searched for an answer and found out that both styles are grammatically correct.. Oujai khan ebshois
