I wish one day I can speak ge’ez fluently. I’m learning to be a deacon. I’m 11 years young living in the US. My name is Joseph Mihretab. Pray me for me to learn this beautiful language.
Salih Ibrahim Church fathers and many people from country side speak this language. Church fathers even teach this language to deacons and stuff in Ethiopia and this language has everything to do with Christianity. In the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, service is done in this language and 95% of Kidase is done in geez so I donno where ur getting ur information from
I'm not even Ethiopian, I am a white French christian, and I love your culture (which I know very little unfortunately) and your Ahmaric and Geez language. I marvel at the beauty of Ethiopian christianity and its cultural particularities. May the light of Christ dwell eternally in your hearts, my brothers.
Let me ask you something. When you were a child, have you ever wondered if you are allowed to enter into your parent's house? A church is God's house, no one can prohibit you from joining. Visit your local Ethiopian church and talk to any member or the priest that you are new and have interest to know more about the Orthodox faith... Galatians 3:28 .... "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." ....this is one link where you would like to see how we welcome all. wudasetube.com/%E1%8B%A8%E1%89%85%E1%8B%B1%E1%88%B5-%E1%88%9A%E1%8A%AB%E1%8A%A4%E1%88%8D-%E1%88%98%E1%8B%9D%E1%88%99%E1%88%AD-%E1%89%A0%E1%8C%8D%E1%8B%95%E1%8B%9D-%E1%89%A0%E1%8D%88%E1%88%A8%E1%8A%95%E1%8C%85_4e544546a.html
@Diego Salgado Gonzalez This translates to, in English, "I have seen and heard good, May God bless you, for letting me listen to words of joy. In this day and age, we need the language of Geez."
"Is it dead?" "We praise God in it" "Yes SIR!". May the All Holy Trinity keep both these fine Orthodox churchmen and may they serve devotedly for many years.
MY HOLY PRAYER is that One Day that I can learn and speak this BEAUTIFUL HOLY LANGUAGE. IN YESHUA HOLY NAME. AMEN. I LOVE THIS, I LOVE ETHIOPIA AND ETHIOPIANS EVERYWHERE. BLESS Y OU.
Wow, I am just learning my mother's language (Tigrinya) and only recently reached a conversational level I already can see a lot of similarities with Geez. I wonder how the old pronounciation was, as I suspect that the two priests have an Amharic accent but I can't say for sure as I don't know how the original sounded. Nice to know that we have such a beautiful common ancestor language!
@@alexanderschwarzer9656 yeah I can see that Hawey. Just started my own learning journey, but struggling to find resources. Greeting from the cold north🇳🇴 + 🇪🇷
Amaharic + geez does not give tigrigna at all. In fact Tigrigna comes direct from Geez. As this use the same word and sound and accent unlike amaharic language does not have it. The Amaharic language was enforced to speak it in the Northern of Ethiopia (eritrea and in Tigray) by the ruling elite of Gonder Tigrigna have more letter "alphabet". Also the Geez number are closer to tigrigna and tigre in therm of writing, reading and pronunciation.
zee zeem 😂😂 Everything this person said is so foolish. Research the roots of Geez, any source will tell you Geez is around 70% tigrinya. Tigre being the closet. They speak Arabic aswell because they are muslims! Amharic is the language influenced by Agew everyone knows that, there is so many Agew words in Amharic not in tigrinya. Tigrinya doesn’t have any Amharic words, Amharic words have tigrinya words!! Axumite kingdom with the sea coast belongs to Eritrea and Tigray. As an eritrean, Eritrea is well thankyou, no one is coming to Amhara land 😆
This language is still alive n it never die. Ethio orthodox church protect(prevent) it from Danger. This language must be transmitted generation to generation.
We are very happy to see this video and we admire this particular organization for its consideration of this beautiful language and Mr. Fisseha for his continued effort and the excellent coverage of Geez language in his articles over the years. This might be our first time to see Geez in a regular conversation between people apart from its use in the church. What a beautiful language to listen to. We hope the attention will not stop here and we will see more products in collaboration. Good luck!
Great Job, I applaud you abba and Fisseha Tadesse for your exemplar conversation. I am one of the proponents of Geez and I did not like it when the government did not take care of our Geez heritages in all aspects. Geez should be taught and studied in higher education. The two meaning of the Zebewelede Ab Yeamn qedasi lsane Geez bahtitu. Abba are admiring you Fisseha in that Qinne. I love Geez.
@Yonas Yigzahu Eneyehu Limeneh Yigzahu The Ge'ez alphabet got her alphabet from the Sabaens (People in Yemen), and the Sabaens who were dominating the Red sea got contact with the Phoenicians who dominated the Medditerean sea, the Sabaens made like the Greeks their own alphabet with similarities with the Phoenician alphabet.

Its very simple to revive it since we still use the same alphabets and sounds. Geez is very very similar to modern Day Tigre/Tigrayit language which is spoken in Eritrea. It is also very similar to Tigrinya language, although to a lesser extent than Tigre/Tigrayit, which is spoken in Eritrea and Northern Ethiopia (Tigray region).
Ge’ez is probably the closest language to be able to read the Old Testament and Koine greek for New Testament. So for anyone that is interested in learning that’s where I would go. God bless🙏🏽Jesus is Lord.
I think both the priest and the deacon did good conversation even though you can tell that they have Amharic accent. If you really want to hear fluent Geez conversation, you better refer a priest from Tigray Ethiopia or Eritrea. That is b.c Tigrigna is way close to Geez than Amharic.
Melanin Goddess The Amhara people are also decedents of the Aksumite kingdom, who care if Amharic or Tigrinya is closer. Both of them originated or slowly evolved from the ge'ez language. We are all one people, do we really have to argue about this?

Themaster100 First : you are deqala because we the Tigre Eritrea don't marry habesha christians or muslims. If you are deqala according to the Christian faith you will go to hell . ثانيا : لم تفهم معني ان الله يصلي علي النبي لجهلك بشيء اسمه المترادفات في اللغة لذا فهمت كلمة صلاة بالمعني الوحيد الذي تعرفه . ثالثا: تعدد الزوجات أمر عادي و شائع بين شعوب الارض و كذلك الزواج من الاقارب و ما تراه انت غير مستساغ لا يعني ان الآخرون ينظرون اليه بنفس المنظار . رابعا : قولك ان الاسلام دين العرب مضحك اذا كان الله وصف نفسه في القرآن بأنه رب العالمين و ليس إله اسرائيل فقط كما هو عند دين أهل والدتك ، ثم ان محمدا وصف في القرآن انه مجرد بشر رسول ، و محمد قال بلسانه إنما أنا بشر مثلكم و كذلك قال لا فضل لعربي علي عجمي و لا لأبيض علي اسود الا بالتقوي . بالنسبة ل isis امرك و الله مضحك لان ما فعلوه مسيحيي اثيوبيا ضد المسلمين و اللادينيين في المنطقة اكثر مليون مرة من ما فعلته داعش . و اذا كنت عامل نفسك أفريقي أقول لك ان اول من صدر الافارقة السود كعبيد للخارج هم مسيحيوا الحبشة . روح يلا بلا يخمك . اخيراً الحبش يكرهوا العرب و يستحقروا السود ، المضحك ان اي حبشي عمل فحص جينات طلعت نصفها عرب و النصف الاخر سود ( بانتو) .
More information on the Bibles in Ge'ez thank you! :) Would very much like to hear from you on the Bibles that you have down there where you live in Ge'ez. Do you read from right or left when you read Ge'ez?
Should the Ge’ez language be revived and become the official language of Ethiopia? Just like Hebrew which was revived in the 19th century and became the official language of Israel. What are your thoughts?
Why Ethiopia if anything it has closer ties to Eritrea than Ethiopia's languages. Eritrea's Tigre and Tigrinya language is much closer to Ge'ez (As a tirgrinya speaker I can understand alot of what they are saying) than Ethiopia's amharic. But it would be cool if it was manditory to be taught in both countries. Kind of how japanese kids have to learn both Kanji and Hiragana. I hope it can be revived.
Yes it should be revived, without geez habesha is lost and divided, we don't even understand our own history, that should not be the case for the next generation
Tigre People of Eritrea are speaking Ge'ez with arabic influence becuase his muslim faith but tigre is very closely to Ge'ez!!! the order: Tigre closest to Geez Tigrinya ver close to Geez Amharic a little bit of Geez #facts
I am eritrean, and i speak this language every day . But why is the ካህን ወይነብብ like ge'ez is foreign language? Tgrina is Ge'ez it was change only little accent .
We must bring #Geez back it's the one of the magical and oldest languages in the world. It will unlock all of our secrets in the global history. #Tigynia and Tigre are the closest to Geez because we are the same and are the people of the #Axum Empire. The book of #Enoch was also written in Geez.
Bruh i speak both amharic and arabic and i don't even know 80% of it only some one who can speak all ge'ez descendants (tigre,tigrinya,amharic, guraginya)+arabic can understand it all
@@salihibrahim562 because you speak it? Church fathers speak it ALL the time. We have a history of Qene (poetry/philosphy) which literally revolves around this language.
Yea ge'ez is a powerful language that the university of Germany, Italy, USA, France, Canada are studying it seriously. They have even stole thousands of books from Ethiopia. Many are found in US and Germany.
Bruh I’m Eritrean and I understand geez more than Amharic this is just like tigrinya with different words it’s logical when you think tigrinya and Tigre are direct decent of geez with 85% and Amharic is 50-55% I’m proud to hear the language my forefathers from over 2000 years spoke 🇪🇷
robi_______ ______boy Actually those words are from Ge'ez. Not only are all the ethiopian semitic languages related by family, bit they all give words to each other, binding them together very closely.
If geez language is spoken in public will be more stronger than just in church, why is it restricted to the church, if its a people language it should be spoken in public between different religion people and in urban cities too
if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. half the people in these comments are saying it's fake, but i know very well that they barely know geez in the first place. can't you guys compliment the video (or if you don't believe their saying geez then ignore the video, your choice) and leave? they tried their best, and i know im going to start having a lot of backlash and arguments replying to me, so for the haters that are jealous who want to start beef, i literally don't care what you have to say. I'll be sure to answer you back to be nice, but i don't care. whatever you say wont make me start being upset or whatev you want my reaction to be, because geez is an amazing language and we all know your jealous you can't speak it lol (im jk abt the jelous part, maybe) thanks, God bless!
I am an adopted child whom is half Ethiopian and half Russian. I want so bad to learn Ge'ez, I have a fairly decent grasp on my Russian roots. I want to connect with my Ethiopian roots so bad.
ChelseafcTube Eritreans do not need to learn Gheez. They speak Gheez/tigrigna but they were obligated to learn Hamaric/Gheez because hamaric language was official.

First : you are deqala because we the Tigre Eritrea don't marry habesha christians or muslims.
If you are deqala according to the Christian faith you will go to hell .
ثانيا : لم تفهم معني ان الله يصلي علي النبي لجهلك بشيء اسمه المترادفات في اللغة لذا فهمت كلمة صلاة بالمعني الوحيد الذي تعرفه .
ثالثا: تعدد الزوجات أمر عادي و شائع بين شعوب الارض و كذلك الزواج من الاقارب و ما تراه انت غير مستساغ لا يعني ان الآخرون ينظرون اليه بنفس المنظار .
رابعا : قولك ان الاسلام دين العرب مضحك اذا كان الله وصف نفسه في القرآن بأنه رب العالمين و ليس إله اسرائيل فقط كما هو عند دين أهل والدتك ، ثم ان محمدا وصف في القرآن انه مجرد بشر رسول ، و محمد قال بلسانه إنما أنا بشر مثلكم و كذلك قال لا فضل لعربي علي عجمي و لا لأبيض علي اسود الا بالتقوي .
بالنسبة ل isis امرك و الله مضحك لان ما فعلوه مسيحيي اثيوبيا ضد المسلمين و اللادينيين في المنطقة اكثر مليون مرة من ما فعلته داعش .
و اذا كنت عامل نفسك أفريقي أقول لك ان اول من صدر الافارقة السود كعبيد للخارج هم مسيحيوا الحبشة .
روح يلا بلا يخمك .
اخيراً الحبش يكرهوا العرب و يستحقروا السود ، المضحك ان اي حبشي عمل فحص جينات طلعت نصفها عرب و النصف الاخر سود ( بانتو) .

More information on the Bibles in Ge'ez thank you! :)
Would very much like to hear from you on the Bibles that you have down there where you live in Ge'ez.
Do you read from right or left when you read Ge'ez?
Thanks.
I wish to see renaissance of Geeze language as used to be .
May God help us to explore or to dig out because the government hide it deliberately.
Beautiful language
My queston? Was the Ethiopian Eunuch, in the Court of Queen Candace, speaking G'ez, and how close to Ge'ez to Aramaic and Bible Hebrew?
Enameseginalen
Are there any places teaching Ge'ez online? I can only find Amharic and other derivatives. 😊
Should the Ge’ez language be revived and become the official language of Ethiopia? Just like Hebrew which was revived in the 19th century and became the official language of Israel. What are your thoughts?
Why Ethiopia if anything it has closer ties to Eritrea than Ethiopia's languages. Eritrea's Tigre and Tigrinya language is much closer to Ge'ez (As a tirgrinya speaker I can understand alot of what they are saying) than Ethiopia's amharic.
But it would be cool if it was manditory to be taught in both countries. Kind of how japanese kids have to learn both Kanji and Hiragana. I hope it can be revived.
Yes it should be revived, without geez habesha is lost and divided, we don't even understand our own history, that should not be the case for the next generation
@@keshi5541i am amhara and can understand full phrases, plus there is more tigrinya speakers in ethiopia
This is so cool 😎
This is like Tigrigna and Tigre.
From Geez langueg first came Tigre than tigrinja and last amharic

they say "iwe " when they say "yes" exact as tigrigna and "senay" when they say "good"
Its aw in amharic this word actually came from the Egyptian word iw
@@AMR_k400 iw is similar to iwe which means egyptian word is similar to tigrinya
Ge'ez sounds like Arabic, could be?? Greetings from Argentina.
Yes because Geez is unilateral Tigre- a language similar to Arabic spoken in North Eritrea. Geez/Tigre actually predates Arabic though
Ge'ez and Arabic are both semitic language. they sound similar.
it is very very interesting ... how can I apply to study? please tell me something because I am in need of this language from my childhood
If you learn pure Tigre/Tigrayit language than you will understand Geez. Especially in areas to the north of Keren, Eritrea.
I am eritrean, and i speak this language every day . But why is the ካህን ወይነብብ like ge'ez is foreign language? Tgrina is Ge'ez it was change only little accent .

We must bring #Geez back it's the one of the magical and oldest languages in the world. It will unlock all of our secrets in the global history. #Tigynia and Tigre are the closest to Geez because we are the same and are the people of the #Axum Empire. The book of #Enoch was also written in Geez.
For the feature geze will be international language iswear
I know Arabic I could understand 80% of it
this sounds nothing like arabic
Bruh i speak both amharic and arabic and i don't even know 80% of it only some one who can speak all ge'ez descendants (tigre,tigrinya,amharic, guraginya)+arabic can understand it all
Biggest cap. They aren't alike.
Geez is not a forgotten language. But its used only in liturgy of tewahedo church, similar to Latin in the Catholic Church.

Yea ge'ez is a powerful language that the university of Germany, Italy, USA, France, Canada are studying it seriously. They have even stole thousands of books from Ethiopia. Many are found in US and Germany.
exactly Like tegrait language in Eritrea
From Geez langueg first came out Tigre then Tigrinja and last amharic
wawwww❤❤🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Bruh I’m Eritrean and I understand geez more than Amharic this is just like tigrinya with different words it’s logical when you think tigrinya and Tigre are direct decent of geez with 85% and Amharic is 50-55% I’m proud to hear the language my forefathers from over 2000 years spoke 🇪🇷
without geez we habesha stand divided and lost

any songs ?
you could openly hear tigrinya and amharinya words in them...so this would not be difficult for me to learn...
robi_______ ______boy Actually those words are from Ge'ez. Not only are all the ethiopian semitic languages related by family, bit they all give words to each other, binding them together very closely.

So I now know the meaning of Af'abet town: Outside.
And nakfa is to go up i think.
If geez language is spoken in public will be more stronger than just in church, why is it restricted to the church, if its a people language it should be spoken in public between different religion people and in urban cities too
if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. half the people in these comments are saying it's fake, but i know very well that they barely know geez in the first place. can't you guys compliment the video (or if you don't believe their saying geez then ignore the video, your choice) and leave? they tried their best, and i know im going to start having a lot of backlash and arguments replying to me, so for the haters that are jealous who want to start beef, i literally don't care what you have to say. I'll be sure to answer you back to be nice, but i don't care. whatever you say wont make me start being upset or whatev you want my reaction to be, because geez is an amazing language and we all know your jealous you can't speak it lol (im jk abt the jelous part, maybe) thanks, God bless!
I think I can understand this language but I don't
Hallo way such language translate to devil World.
Any Christian songs in Ge'ez?
I think you can find hymns called "Mezmur" online.

I am an adopted child whom is half Ethiopian and half Russian. I want so bad to learn Ge'ez, I have a fairly decent grasp on my Russian roots. I want to connect with my Ethiopian roots so bad.
Thats awesome... I would suggest starting with Amharic, and/or Tigrinya. Then gradually going up to Ge'ez.

Sounds pretty much Arabic to my ears. Probably the root of all Semitic languages. Some scholars say old hebrews have spoken it for quite awhile during Moses times.
It doest sound arabic
The ancient Arabs formed as an ethnic group in the northwestern part of Saudi Arabia and Jordan and the Syrian desert and Iraq
Geez is the first language.
We need to revive it like hebrew
