Dear all, I forgot to mention something; in one of the youtube clips I watched Adel Imam say that he went to our Pope, not to take his permission about the film, but to discuss with him some dogmatic issues related to the film. Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Dear josephgabriel and QT_PA_2T, What great hypocrisy; this is the sin that minagir is talking about. You are great hypocrites, because now you highly regard me because I said I am from Shoubra; not for who I am - you have got to regard me for who I…

Oh people; QT_PA_2T, and josephgabriel, I used to live in Zananiri street; the street which has the big court in it, and my school was in el dawaran. I am shabrawy as well (for correction; not shobrawy QT_PA_2T :P). Anyway, did you notice how Adel I…

Dear all, This is a complete farce. Please don't waste your time to watch someone who acts as a priest and in order to protect himself and his family (or maybe even the church) pretends to be a muslim. This is what Christianity clearly denounces. Pl…

Dear aem581, Yes, I think tishori is referring to the long estathite. He may do with the English translation for it, if you have it (although we always need to learn Coptic and not do away with it). God bless you all and pray for us a lot
-
Dear ManKindLoverSon, That is very formative and highly educational. God bless your efforts. I would like to know more about the miracles worked by Jesus and through the Virgin Mother of God in each of these places - those of whom know better about …

Thanks Mina, very formative. God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Yes jydeacon, that was my mistake - your student made a mistake and thanks for your correction :) God bless you all and pray for us a lot

Dear all, I think both Ibrahim Ayad and Zaher Andrews recorded neknai that way to distinguish between the annual tune and the joyful tune which follows that of "nim ghar" and Matins doxology. God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, I think you are referring to the seven tunes hymn. It starts with Matins doxology "tenousht" in the tune of joyous verses of cymbals, then after the litany of the sick, it continues as the proper seven tunes hymn till its end (with pr…

Dear QT_PA_2T, I want to thank you very much for your post. It is always educational for all of us. I don't think we will ever stop learning. Anyway, I will tell you my opinion personally - only as what I think, but I have to stress here that it is …
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, Thank you very much for your post. You started to see where I am coming from, although you have been wrong thinking that I am someone of authority in contributing to this website or to other church authoritarian process in charge of t…
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, I don't agree with the pronunciation of "bye" anyway, but I think it should be read as "bei", and I am basing my pronunciation on the teachings of Fr. Shenouda Maher, who was assigned by Pope Shenouda to find out the correct Bohairic …
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, It seems that you have got a misprint in your psalmody book. As jydeacon and minagir pointed out this is called Saturday theotokia as opposed to Saturday lobsh which is "sherat" as it begins with "shere thiethmeh enehmot". You might h…
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, With all due respect to Rmenkimi website and their grammar course, that is based on the Greco-Bohairic rules of pronunciation, which to me is not genuine. I used to think you were born in Egypt and travelled abroad at a young age, but…
-
Thanks Shnoda, I also downloaded the file and I hope you don't mind that. God bless you all and pray for us a lot
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, I don't think the pronunciation you are referring to is the right one anyway. This is actually not a genuine Coptic pronunciation but a pure modern Greek one that has been applied to the Coptic language. This to me is wrong. I am sure…
-
Dear minagir, I don't really agree with what you are saying. Although I don't have any sources (being a beginner in rites anyway), I can only say that it doesn't make sense that synexarium or antiphony are not read while glorification hymns are sung…
-
Hi shnoda, I think I missed your comments on this site. As far as the second question is concerned, I don't think defnar is supposed to be read in the fifty days. It is treated as the synexarium as I know. I am hoping minagir will give us a concise …

Dear all, Have a very blessed Coptic Easter all of you. Pray for us a lot
-
Thanks minagir; God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Dear gergesezzat, Thank you very very much. God bless your efforts and give you what your heart desires. I am also waiting for minagir to upload Ibrahim Ayad's version of the communion hymn, besides the other hymns of the same rite. God bless you al…
-
Dear all, Let me just mention one point. We had better draw a line between two expressions: wrong, and inappropriate. In our church, and indeed as Christians generally, we don't have anything such as "wrong", rather inappropriate. However, I think l…
-
Dear gergesezzat, I guess "biehmot ghar" tune is the more authentic as many cantors sing it this way, and I prefer it myself. God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Ok, thanks minagir. No, QT_PA_2T; I was talking of the theotokia only, not the start of the whole of the midnight chants. God bless you all and pray for us a lot
-
Dear minagir, Does from Teoi enhikanos onwards, the tune change? That is my question. God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Dear all, Another question popped up into my mind. How would the part "teoi enhikanos" in Sunday's theotokia be chanted during Kiahk if we follow this tune which sounds like "sabany". Does anyone have a recording for that they can forward to me? God…
-
Dear jydeacon, My question is does the theotokia tune in fasting days follow that of Kiahk; I assume you are aware that there is some who say that the Adam tune in Kiahk (and hence in the Lent) is more or less like the Arabic song "sabany"; what are…
-
Dear all, I read on coptichymns.net that the tune of the theotokia changes as well into the one sung in Kiahk; which in Adam is more or less similar to the Arabic song "sabany". What are you views on this? God bless you all and pray for us a lot

Dear Schoyen, I am sorry I forgot to mention Iqbal. I think he can help you a great deal as well. You may try PMing these members I mentioned if they don't directly post their opinions in this thread. God bless you and pray for us a lot
