I still believe it would so handy and convenient if one of the moderators can spend a little bit of time on this to make it available for mobiles in general with no loss of functionality... any chance of that happening? Oujai

That's brilliant man. Very well done. But, nothing without disadvantages. You won't be able to colour the replies like I do to make them easier to spot in long threads and quotes or in Coptic (which is still unavailable anyway). Secondly there is no…

That's right ebshois nai nan... thanks... and thanks DavidI, yes nitwsh refers to the states and ethotb means which are united. I guess there's no need to use either tishori... Oujai
-
DEar tishori, Too technical for me but I'll have a stab at it. First of all it should be embatriarshas rather than en. Secondly my understanding is that the expression nitwsh refers to the states (I guess it literally means the divisions), and there…

OK, the latest now. Egyptian governmental minister denied that the murderer is mentally unstable, but still maintained that he fired bullets aimlessly and randomly. This is interesting. My take on that is the first statement to pacify the fuming Chr…

Dear Michael and servant of Jesus Christ, I am not sure where in anyone's posts previously anybody may have alluded to us hating them. It's very true as you say this is against all Christian teaching. What at least I am trying to say is that if you …

DEar Cyril97, I did tell Maged about this is in a pm but it seems he has been too busy. It's wonderful you started a post about it. As anba Bola says there used to be an option with the key of life icon that you can press to apply to selected text a…

Dear Michael, Only you know how often you go to Egypt, and how close you or your family members are to relations in Egypt. Why I say that is because you give me the impression that you're comparing Egypt to Canada. There are very big differences bet…

Of course Zoxsasi... well said Oujai

DEar Michael, It seems you aren't actually following the news. A telephone conversation with one of the victims in the hospital revealed that the man got on the train, scanned people from one end to the other, decided who were Christian (by the appe…

I believe that's the correct teaching Mina Oujai

A link on Facebook showed an Egyptian program presented by the respectable (sarcasm) Mrs. Lamees el hadeedy had a phone call from the reporter in el Minia who confirmed he is unstable. This kind of instability apparently never ever manifested in his…

Dear Amoussa01, I thought you were answering the original question which relates to different tunes within the week, i.e. Adam for three days and Watos for four days not throughout the season, and that's why I said psalies and taodokeya's differ in …

Doxology tune doesn't change but psalies and taodokeyas do. There you go: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Praises/Midnight_Praises/St_Macarius_Monastery,_Midnight_Praises.html Oujai

Does it really matter geomike? People are interested in understanding the language not the tune. They don't see any difference between the "o", the "a", and the "e", as long as they keep the tune the same... no one seems to understand the nature of …
-
Trust me people will daze into space whether you say it in Coptic, or English, or Arabic, or Mexican for the latter converts, or Russian who do not have a church of their own nearby and have to attend the COC, or people of all those languages except…
-
DEar Amoussa01, I do apologise for making an incorrect statement. I don't like the projector in the first instance. But what I feel you don't really want to say is that Coptic hymns are very easy to understand. The instructions are very easy to unde…
-
Thanks for letting me know kmeka, I wasn't aware of that... Oujai
-
Dear Amoussa01, I don't blame you for thinking this way. In fact as you're well aware since the building of tasbeha.org and the like this debate seems to recur with no one ever wanting to compromise on their opinion. You certainly haven't been here …

And that's what I said in the beginning, and what geomike said I believe

Mina you can ask jydeacon or the deacons who serve in small churches in the diaspora. If the young get the message of being able to say long hymns in English rather than Coptic, why bother learning Coptic and hymns in that language in the first plac…
-
Maybe not for you minagir, but you know geomike is right, don't you?
-
It's really a shame abanoub2000 and geomike to see our respectable Coptic deacons interested to find hymns in another language than Coptic. That's when you keep shouting at the top of your voice and say "I preserve the heritage of the Coptic church"…

I will try my best Oujai

It is right Aegyptian... asmasf is rendered a verb referring to dibartanos by the word nja that follows. Pretty much like: khan oushot afshot nja bemow (bemow being masculine). I also prefer seima to the Greek sigma... Oujai
-
Dear jydeacon, My mistake. It is betasmasf nja dibartanos. Still the same thing; that is not past tense strictly speaking but an indirect form of speech. Dear Copticuser20, I doubt if in Theophany you sing it abanshois since in every book it's writ…
-
Dear Copticuser20, Are you sure of what you're saying? If so, do you sing it like that in Theophany, Kiahk, and Pentecost?
-
The letter "a" is an article for past tense that should be followed by a verb, even after the subject of the sentence (i.e. Banshois). However, we find the wording follows along the lines of other hymns for Theophany and Resurrection, without a verb…

I always believed that you have to get past midnight as you would have gone into a new day. That is to say we may pray vespers, midnight praises, but matins and liturgy are always next day. That said even on feast nights we do everything in a haste …
