[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9825.msg120413#msg120413 date=1286571283] Godlovesme, There are a lot of Westerners that think that Orthodoxy is dead--but It is alive. There are a lot of Westerners that think that the Coptic Orthodox Churc…

Dear Godlovesme, I'd just like to urge you to look at websites through google scholar search engine. Of course I'm not talking about those websites relating to the Coptic language. The definition I'd like to once again stress out: language dies with…

Dear Mina, I can't say I understand your post really. I think you were replying to something I didn't mention in the quote you referred to. Please explain to me what you mean. Dear Godlovesme, So you live in Italy? Do you consider yourself Italian t…

Dear Godlovesme, I'm sorry I obviously did not mean to offend you but it seems I managed to do that. Sorry again. Let me tell you that your argument is actually flawed (as long as you have paid attention to my previous post). Coptic is still being p…

Dear all, I am sorry I keep replying from my mobile and can't use Coptic fonts. I'm so disappointed by your replies especially Mina and ebshois_nai_nan. I take it Godlovesme is a young non-EGypt born member. The Coptic language is still being used a…

Dear Mina and all, How is Coptic language a dead language?

Sorry to add something after thread has already seen reduced activity... St Paul taught us more than once, what I may express as: "EVERY THING IS LAWFUL TO ME BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS WORTHWHILE" "EVERY THING IS LAWFUL TO ME BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS AGREE…

Dear Hezekiel, I am not sure really what you intend to say. I don't know who anba Youssef is, or where he serves, but I won't be surprised if he serves in Egypt. Without being judgmental or anything, sometimes priests in Egypt, and maybe in the dias…

So how do we really allow ourselves to continue with this discussion when we see them being exhibitionists as they are, showing off and avoiding mortadella and pork besides alcoholic beverages (while they may be consuming them on the hush hush anywa…

Dear Fr. Peter, Thank you very much for taking the time to write your very concise post, which as I said before I keep learning from. Having said that, I hope I am allowed to disagree (hehe). There are some points that I have different opinion on (…
-
Was the last sentence a statement or a question? In either case my comment or answer is that Copts taught us to offer our Lord our worship in the form of art (in this case singing) and they followed the commandment of our Teacher to spend as much ti…

That's a good point Mina... thanks. Cantor Wagdy blessed me sending his some of his latest recordings (actually on CD's shipped from America to the UK for free but that's beside the point), and I heard in his recording maybe for Palm Sunday rather t…

Are they really festive-sha'anini? Or have we at some stage lost the sha'anini tune for the "[coptic]vai etafenf[/coptic]", and the Psalm (which cantor Wagdi recorded in some tune, not sure if he was implying that was the sha'anini longer tune or wh…

Dear all, Thanks very much for replying to me. I am sorry that over and over again I do sound like a judgmental hypocrite, as pharisees were described by Jesus. Anyway there is something you have to understand - I used to think the same way that I a…
-
Of course servant33 that's a never-ending complaint we always hear. There are many answers I have in response to such "sorry to say" lame excuses. I'm not going to dwell too long on them but I'll just say you do seem to be a lot younger than I am an…

Dear Christ_rose, [coptic]qen pi`cmou[/coptic] is used to mean congratulations. I have an inkling although I am not 100% certain that to say "congratulations (name)" can be translated into "[coptic]`k`cmarwout (nim) ie te`cmarwout (nim)[/coptic]" fo…
-
Oh servant33, and it comes from you... oh no... I quoted you and you stab me in the back... you oppose my opinion... oh... well I am joking of course. I am not really sure how you got this piece of information from. I may not be the best in patrolog…

Thanks Christ_rose. You too please

Dear Tishori, Thanks for taking the time to reply to my posting: now I am not sure if that is a subconscious attack on the Coptic language or what? Please don't try to convince me, or rather convince yourself that saying [coptic]icta;yte metavobou :…

Thanks Christ_rose for your confidence in me (I don't even have that kind of confidence in myself... ;D) [coptic]pigamoc[/coptic] = the marriage (masculine noun) [coptic]pihop[/coptic] = the wedding ( ~ ) [coptic]]selet[/coptic] = the bride (femini…

More and more productions to deviate from the Coptic language. In truth I can't understand the point...[coptic][/coptic] [coptic][/coptic][coptic][/coptic][coptic]Oujai qen P[C[/coptic]

Why, oh why? [coptic]oujai qen `P[C[/coptic]

Dear mroufael, The Coptic language wasn't derived from Greek and Hieroglyphics, as you pointed out. The early Egyptians after converting to Christianity took the Greek words, and some Greek "loan" words to incorporate in the Egyptian language (i.e. …

Dear abanoub2000, Sorry didn't realise that you took the time to reply to my original post. Unfortunately, I did what you advised and didn't find anything... any other suggestions? [coptic]oujai qen `P[C[/coptic]

Completely agree with ebshois_nai_nan... but my pestering question would be: would any of those apps work with android phone, like HTC? Please let me know as soon as possible. I hope you give me the desired answer (having an HTC desire phone :-)) [c…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9459.msg119394#msg119394 date=1284585457] Does this mean anything to you folks?... The ancient Egyptian name of the country is Kemet (km.t), which means "black land", referring to the fertile black soils of …

Dear all, I'm so impressed by the number of you who are trying to learn Arabic to get more involved and understand more the Coptic liturgy... and now you see where this is going... it's really so sad we left out the original language of the church a…

I guess the Lord encourages his creation on seeking what they can do best to help others and fulfill their own potential wherever they can. The Lord Himself did not stay all His life in Nazareth but did "immigrate" somehow [coptic]Oujai q[/coptic][c…

So the simple short answer for me is: No, I don't count myself as Arabic. [coptic]oujai qen `P[C[/coptic]
