[@tonyguy231]

Greetings from Taiwan. Thank you very much for the wonderful video. I love slavic culture and also the churches. It is always my dream to learn it!

[@Szymoum]

敬諺鄭 wow

[@someswede781]

I've been interested in more obscure languages recently, and your series of videos on Church Slavonic is much appreciated :)

[@sophiestabilitronics]

He taught better about the grammar and helped me big in understanding each cases. Spasibo za eto video! Bog Blagoslovit vas vsegda! Privetstvuju iz Filippinyj!

[@fratercontenduntocculta8161]

I am a recent convert to Orthodoxy and have been wanting to find something in English to better understand the differences between this and cyrillic to better help me experience my faith in a more meaningful way. Thank you!

[@yel69owstreams59]

Hows it going

[@Neer-yy5nm]

I don't think it helps you to understand the orthodox Christian faith in a "more meaningful way", it's a very beautiful language and liturgy sounds especially heavenly (to me) in it, but to equate knowing a certain liturgical language to better understanding the faith sounds a bit odd, to me at least.

[@anthonyrago554]

I sometimes go to Divine Liturgy at the local Ruthenian Catholic Church. I really appreciate this primer! Thanks!

[@theoneoutofnazareth]

Thank you for this! We converted to Eastern Orthodoxy and I have a huge desire to learn how to do my prayers in Church Slavonic as well as to learn Russian. THis is an excellent video!

[@pythonithon5916]

How are your studies? I'm doing the same.

[@theoneoutofnazareth]

@pythonithon5916 it's a very difficult language I have a long way to go!

[@athb4hu]

Cool. Church Slavonic is beautiful.

[@danieltaylor1494]

Thank you for this video!!! I attend a Serbian Orthodox church, and they use this. I would love to know more about it and would be interested in learning how to write in it as well. Knowing this is as beautiful as hearing it spoken. Thank you again!!!!!

[@deltatango2581]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!! My interest is in the that it is used in the Serbian Orthodox Church. There is not a whole lot on this, so it is deeply appreciated!!

[@jacekwisniewski5312]

Please continue, it's a great work of you :)

[@janeza382]

Keep going, greetings from Macedonia

[@canalislamico8722]

[@tagtgarden]

This is the beginniing of what I need for my future studies! I'll try to follow your lessons and I hope you'll share more!

[@DavidSinghiser]

Thank you thank you thank you! I was christmated in the GOA, but here in Paraguay, there is only ROCOR. I hardly understand anything unless there is some Spanish or Greek in the liturgy.

[@TrollDemN00bs]

ROCOR is more based than greek anyway. stay rocor

[@naturalmedicinewriting5208]

hi this is nice its easy for me because I'm Czech

[@itoldyouso6622]

O Lord pronunciation (transliteration) 3:05 for study

[@PeterSchneemann]

It is exactly the same in my native language, Bulgarian.

[@mujtabaal-bushari6733]

Very interesting

[@diogeneslaertius3365]

You have a very light accent when you pronounce Church Slavonic words. Which is amazing to me unless you are actually Slavic yourself.

[@ariebrons7976]

Dear Mr Brooks, Could one use the Greek pronounciation? thus pomilui would be pronounced πομηλοι or pom eh lui (ui being pronounced like Qui in French)

[@ΔοσίθεοςΤρνηνητς]

lel...who is Serbo-Croat like me, he already know this :P its like a little harsher Serbo-Croatian for exaple, lets use lord have mercy Old Church- Gospodi Pomiluj(Господи помилуй) Croatian-Gospon Pomiluj Serbian-Gospodare Pomiluj(Господаре помилуј) werry easyy

[@MrVinzeR]

In russian "gospodi pomiluj"😁

[@PrimozBracic]

Slovensko: Gospod Pomiluj

[@stefanmirkovic6681]

Serbian: Gospode pomiluj*

[@xsc1000]

But in Czech its "Pane, smiluj se" or you can say, but its not used now too much Hospodine, smiluj se

[@NeNozg]

In Croatian it's: Gospodine, smiluj se

[@IrespectUtoo]

Тако Слва наше отеце до Матырь Слве а пребенде в Онь до конца конець ? what does it means on Old Church Slavonic ?

[@србрас]

nothing you have mistakes in you text

[@Dyomaeth]

This is not written correctly and is hard to read, but it roughly means "Glory of our Father & Mother, let it abide til the end of times."

[@ayw5118]

[@demoman1596sh]

You are reducing vowels that are not even reduced in modern-day South Slavic languages like Bulgarian. Surely the Old Church Slavonic vowels were not reduced according to modern Russian pronunciation rules. I'm not saying your pronunciation is "wrong," per se, as I'm sure it is traditional to some extent, but it is surely not honest to exhort people to pronounce things "properly" without making decisions like this clear. For example, pronouncing Latin using the Ecclesiastical pronunciation is not "wrong," per se, but it would be dishonest not to make clear that it is a more recent convention, as people definitely didn't pronounce Latin that way during the time of, say, Cicero.

[@skladzasnimki6th818]

What to Russians is "old church slavonic" to me is 9th century Bulgarian.

[@diogeneslaertius3365]

That Cyrillic letter ꙋ (uk) that denotes the sound "ooh" that is for some reason transliterated as "o" does not really make much sense. I can assure you there is not going to be a text in Church Slavonic in which you will ever have to read ꙋ as "o". Like virtually never. If one cannot transliterate it letter-to-letter then either one needs to add additional letters / characters to the transliteration alphabet or use digraphs. Otherwise it beats the purpose of the transliteration in the first place.
