Very good of you to notice your own sins.
My advice is to always pray the Jesus Prayer, pray it all the time, so that when you have the inclination to sin, you are immediately waken up.

Dear Aegyptian,
1- Qen `pasai means "through THE greatness" (did you mean Qen pekasai)?. However, the exact meaning is "through the abundance"; "through the multitude", etc…

If you say etafchioms, then you maybe changing the sentence. In Coptic, "Vetafchioms" literally means, "the One who took water" or "the One who was baptized". If you say "e…
And how do the Old Bohairic proponents deal with the liturgy. Do you pronounce it like OB (e.g. /awol/) or do you go along with the rest, using GB (/evol/)?
At the beginning of Tasbeha, should we say /tentino/ or /toounou/ ?
At my church, we now say tentino, but we should say the imperative form right? Could anyone explain?
Welcome back Ioannes. I hope you are doing OK. Good luck with this initiative and I hope you may help many other Orthodox Christians with mental illness.

I think I'm starting to understand it a bit :) Thanks for explaining it to me, you are a great help. I think the best way to grasp these differences is to read Coptic texts like you said.
Thanks ^.
Is it }triac `njyk ebol or }triac etjyk ebol
and why? At my church they I sometimes hear the first version, but I thought it was the second, since jyk ebol means perfect (refering to the Trinity), and is a relative article (?). Like the …

Thanks in advance. I'm trying to enrich my vocabulary by looking at the text of Tasbeha, but I'm having trouble translating these 2 words.

Yes, of course, you are right.
I'm just dissatisfied that, while I thought I finally understood the pronunciation, it seems to be much harder. So I need to work and study more to find out how to correctly pronounce all Coptic words in all instances…
Another thing, if "Coptic is Shenouda," then why do we say St. Shenouda the Archmandrite's name in Coptic as "Shenouti Pirachi Menedritis" in anything (e.g. hetennis, the sermon in pascha "Okati Khesis")?
Perhaps because Saint Shenouti the Archimand…
