Ekhrestos anesty The Holy Spirit and Christ is one. During the holy fifties the church is focused on the resurrection of Christ. Resurrection rites trump every other rite, including saints' commemorations.. Oujai

Ekhrestos anesty This arrangement is for feast night not the holy fifties Oujai

@remenkimi, Ekhrestos anesty I'll definitely need help. I do think I already have the fonts but I'll check again and ask you if I get stuck.. thanks a lot anyway, and wish me luck.. hehe oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty@StPachom,I just downloaded Coptic fonts onto my laptop, and don't understand what you wrote! Would you care to explain?I also would like to ask you and every one how do you type Coptic letters onto this forum?Oujai

Ekhrestos anesty Sorry again, the website is called kame.danacbe.com.. Oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty I'm sorry, also forgot to say I have a couple of documents and dictionaries downloaded from the internet, mainly remenkimi.com Oujai
-
@lfahmy Ekhrestos anesty I took lessons in the church when I was 13 or so, and then expanded my knowledge by myself. I'm not fluent or even fluid in Coptic at all, so I cannot really advise you on that one.. haha.. what I'm learning comes mainly fro…
-
@remenkimi, I think your analysis is spot on. However @minatasgeel is right about the tune point. Shami tune comes from Syria. Edriby comes from southern Egypt. Ekhrestos anesty Oujai

Ekhrestos anesty Aidonf is still wrong anyway. I'll try to listen to the recording later.. thanks @aiernovi Oujai
-
@lfahmy, No, there's no such a thing as aidwon 'moi. There are some verbs in Coptic that cannot exist without the subject pronoun ATTACHED. Examples are verb den- our case, kot-, and shena-... As for the second question just add @ before the name! O…
-
@archdeacon, Nope, your analysis is wrong. F in donf is the object suffix. Oujai
-
@minazaki,Very well said. All your observations are spot on. This really throws so many questions about the legitimacy of this hymn altogether! Who on earth wrote those words? Someone with a very loose understanding (if at all) of Coptic? I will com…
-
Ok there's a verb in both Bohairic and Sa'idic pronounced as /arhaba-i/ that refers to mourning, or funeral. However, the nouns or adjectives are conjugated differently to edriby still, but not implausibly though. I learnt that it was related to a t…
-
There are some studies but mainly on pharaonic language that suggests that the 'r' sound could precede the hori of the pharaonic language in some cases. Of course Coptic is a descendant of the pharaonic and this phenomenon is seen but it has to be s…

Seems to be the one in upper Egypt, although I heard different opinions.. Oujai
-
Thanks for clarifying @p. I can never understand why some people resort to that behaviour. As if people don't have enough time in 8 minutes or so to figure out the Arabic or English translation to what's being sung. Or maybe there's no need for Copt…
-
@p Do you mean you sing Coptic psalm and Gospel the same way you do Arabic or English? Why though?
-
@RamezM,1- I am sorry that I cannot at all find where I got the notion that it was written somewhere Christ hadn't announced His Body and Blood breaking except in front of His disciples. But it does make sense, probably I learnt it in the church or …
-
Hi all,Can you view what @meenasamy wrote in Coptic? I have Coptic fonts on my computer but the letters don't appear Coptic at all. They are all English!Oujai
-
@RamezM, again I need a computer to reply. Your first two points contain incorrect arguments in my opinion, whatever that is worth! I'll reply later.. blessed Lazarus Saturday.. Oujai
-
I also forgot to add another point. I don't mind, or rather I shouldn't have any qualms with rites changing, but to change things out of negligence rather than for a good reason, and then it becomes the norm isn't right. Banowdy banowdy is a really …
-
Sorry for the first line, it's a copy and paste from a word document and I couldn't edit it out...Oujai
-
@RamezM, Now I am on a computer, I can reply in more detail and write longer; although I have to be honest and say I am not sure if "longer" can be any different to what I contributed with before. First of all, I totally agree with you, and I said …
-
Ok @RamezM, I need a computer to reply. Again you misunderstood some things I said but most importantly I was only talking about covenant Thursday that God broke the body and blood amongst the disciples ONLY not the whole world. You are very well re…
-
T@RamezM and @remenkimi, No, I'm not saying that covenant Thursday shouldn't be festive. I agree it should but in certain parts. This is a unique service, though festive we are not supposed to give a holy kiss, and likewise we aren't supposed to sin…
-
@minatasgeel and @Amoussa01, No no no.. I didn't expect that.. banowdy banowdy aren't festive parts in their own right either. They are prophecies. You are forgetting one very major issue, which is the original rite in the church derived from the Je…
-
So the practice here is the same as is the case with all your churches with eleventh hour shifting to the Friday eve. To me it's an absolute and deliberate corruption to coptic rite, but who cares? I doubt it'll change because communion is associate…
-
@Mira99, Exactly as mabsoota says. If you can condition your fiance on believing you have faith in him, he'll definitely listen to you when you ask anything. Operant conditioning: maybe go to liturgies with him and every time he serves as a deacon a…
-
@Mira99 I like your reasoning, and I agree. But only as an addition it is proven psychologically that adults conform to operant conditioning too, and in some cases faster than children, and actually with moreaconviction, which will of course help yo…
-
Of course @minatasgeel, and I hope it'll be observed. Unfortunately I don't think it will in our church, but I'll be interested to know the practice all other churches take up.. Oujai
