Dear kmeka,
Thanks for pointing that out to me. Probably I made myself boss then... I do apologise.
As for the second point; very interesting. If you revise yourself that is fine, but that is not the point. The point is why do you record a hymn you …
DEar anba Bola,
I need a computer to answer your post. Even though I promised someone else before, can't remember who, to not discuss this very point again.
Oujai
I disagree with all here except Michael Boutros and maybe imikhail. This is not the first hymn that Cantor Ibrahim records differently and from what I'm hearing won't be the last. The man is used to modernizing and embellishing even hymns he recorde…
DEar ilovesaintmark, I'm impressed by your poetic aptitude. However I was referring to myself steering with a bit of cold since you told me: bless you... hehe
Oujai
DEar anba Bola,
I'm surprised that you can argue that way even though churches not only in the diaspora are using projectors and kholagy's in different languages, but hey, all of that doesn't matter, does it? The more you compromise the weaker you g…
Sorry forgot to comment on this "epetshois" as GB enthusiasts like to pronounce is not because the jinkim was shifted but because the letter shima (according to them) is pronouced /ech/, not just /ch/, because it is ETCHima. Funny? Or maybe not?
Ouj…
Mina, ok, before getting on to the red comments earlier, I wish to point this out to you: the "s" replacing "th" in Arabic is not actually a Coptic characteristic, but a French characteristic that passed into the colloquial Arabic due to the French …
A COPTIC priest (or let's say a COPTIC congregation) inside the COPTIC church rejecting COPTIC hymns. Are we nearing the end of days? Well, the last question is a stupid one, I agree, but what about the statement before... sad.
Oujai
Mina, concerning your three questions in red above, the answers are completely fallacious and based on personal opinions of either you, or people who taught you. I need a computer to comment so I'll do that later, but don't let it slip your mind.
O…
Mina, I know that you read Arabic, and that's why I thought you'd rather believe FR. Shenouda than any other false teaching. You pay due respect to him, and so you should, but what you fail to understand is that hold on to just the same excuses like…
Yes of course but when I first started posting on tasbeha.org in 2007 you were one of the people who advised me to refrain from commenting on similarities between hymns and just enjoy them as they are. So basically we can say there are same musical …
What?!!! Mina, are you tripping man? This is way beyond having no musical ears, this is pure insanity. Lenten sharat are similar or same as Kiahkly? You're joking, right?
Oujai
DEar Mina,
I really can't believe myself having read your last post. That's music to my ears. GIve me details man, whose idea was that, and how far did he really go? YOu know my email, is there any way I could get sent an example?

Dear Remenkimi,
Frustration at other people's opinions is not a good reason in itself to stop doing what is right. Actually from now on I'll base my pronunciation of English on French letters, and albeit a false premise still a dialect in itself... …
DEar Remenkimi,
I'm so surprised by your steadfastness in debating for GB against all solid evidence. If your answer about Egyptian English and Indian English is mere accent phonological variant then I'd argue that GB is the same, nothing more.
In …
Well said imikhail and dzheremi...
Dear Remenkimi, what about row vs row in English? Bow and bow? Tear and tear? Cent and scent?
Oujai
Ps: did you choose to ignore answering my questions above?
OUjai
Dear Remenkimi,
You are missing quite a lot, inadvertently of course, because you don't read Arabic. The claim of that Bassili family is unfounded. Mr. Erian Moftah himself mentions in his book, the origin of all controversy, that Pope Cyril IV "ord…
Ya Mina, please... it doesn't have to "click in your mind", so a respectable member of this forum start using it. If you are well-educated, believe in proper research methodology, and aim at applying this in whatever you love, Coptic language proper…
Dear marian6,
Depends on what you want to know, so I can tell you more. I usually pray in st. George and st. Athanasius church in Newcastle. Unfortunately there is none other than me who uses old Bohairic. Pray for us a lot please...
Oujai
That's right Mina but in my view that doesn't exonerate us from correcting the mistakes however small. Some books mention Jesus Christ fasted for us wrongly in Coptic... some say bekhrestos analemebsis, rather than khristos. Others are full of spell…
