Byzantine chant is not usually heard in Finnish parishes though. Thank God since generally I don't like Byzantine chant.  Many years. I don't know this hymn's official name but it starts with "Come, let us bless the ever-memorable Joseph, who went to Pilate by night to beg for the Life of all". |

Sorry to hear, as I love byzantine chant and I think it's more suitable do various languages than Russian chants. I don't know this hymn's official name but it starts with "Come, let us bless the ever-memorable Joseph, who went to Pilate by night to beg for the Life of all". Ah, yes, that's what I was supposing to be Thank you very much for the help |

They're maybe a bit specific, but they're nice, despite the fact it's not my favourite way of chanting |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

No idea. They seemed to have nothing to do with the texts. |

What do you think of the dialect? I can understand much of it. I think it sounds a bit funny, when they're rolling the R. |

The weird thing is that the Swedish that is taught in Finnish schools is not like that. It's a bit more like rikssvenska. I'm constantly bewildered by the fact that most finlandsvenskar in Helsinki seem to pronounce their language exactly like Finnish is pronounced. |

Now when you mention it, it does sound like finnish pronounciation. Personally, I can't read finlandsvenskar. I have a hard enought time, trying to understand rikssvenska. |

Read, or understand in spoken form? In writing, it should not be a big difference. |

That's common: Riksmal in Norway came from the Danish spoken in Christiana with Norwegian pronunciation. |
