She Enrompi

copticuser20

What do you say when a priest tells you "She Enrompi?" And What do both mean?

ilovesaintmark

she enrompi (a hundred years--meaning a blessing, multiplicity of years and grace, etc)

reply:  owoh enthok (and for you also).

or you can say "Enthok Shomt She". Atleast that's what i have been told to say.

Geo,

300 vs 100.
That's being a bit lofty.

imikhail

woh entok own (and you also) or

aishi dayo woh aishismoo (I was honored and blessed) or

ekonkh endak eshlal (live and pray)

Khas.

K guys, are you like fluent coptic speakers? :O
That'd be cool to be fluent in four languages.

Well, as usual ilsm, I had to go to dictionary.com to understand your vocabulary. Now, i looked up the word lofty and this is the definition:

elevated in style, tone, or sentiment, as writings or speech.

I am going to take your post as a compliment. It is a compliment right? ;D

Geo,

Yes.  It was whimsical at complimenting your dispensation of grace from the reply to the greeting that was initially cited.

Ok, now I just don't understand what you say.  ;D

That last post was just ridiculous, I am going to have to look up most of the words, but atleast you are getting me ready for the SAT lol.

so if it's someone's 101st birthday, we can't sing 'she enrompi nem Isos'?
