Greetings

[xristos.anesti]

I was wondering about something.

You will notice that Nestoj - will greet you with words:

God helps

That is direct translation of Serbian Orthodox salute:

Помаже Бог

That is - a person would come up, walk up or whatever else and greet another person (or a group) with these words. The proper replay is:

Бог ти помог'о (Бог ти помога&#1086

Which directly translated means :

God help you

Now, I was wondering how do other Orthodox salute others and whether you have some nice and catchy salutes - if not I guess we will let you use this one

(Of course, we also use Christ is risen! - In truth He is risen! or Христос воскресе - Ваистину воскресе! and other greetings and replies when the time is proper and right).

Thanks a bunch.

There's the one for the rest of the year (not during Pascha)

"Glory to Jesus Christ"

"Glory Forever"

How about "Christ is in our midst." And answer with "Indeed He is." ??

 

[nestoj]

How about "Christ is in our midst." And answer with "Indeed He is." ??

We use that one when there is more formal (and larger in numbers of people) gathering - like a slava (especially on slava), someone going to serve the army, wedding...

"God helps" is used when approaching anyone - like hello in English or ola in Spanish...

nestoj
God helps

 

[SeraphimSarov]

The one we use during "normal time" (I don't know if that term is used in Orthodoxy, forgive me) is, "Christ is in our midst!" to which we respond, "He is and ever shall be!"

I wish "God save you" had never left common English use. It is just so theologically correct

I probably missed something, but where can people vote for mods?

In Russian - nearly as well in Serbian:
Бог в помощь! - May God help you!
Спаси Бог! (Спаси Христос!) - God save you!

 

[nestoj]

Doamne ajuta!

What this means ma (forgive me)?

Hey, I voted for you for a mod position.

Who’s running for mod? And where (and can I at all) do we vote for him?

nestoj
God helps

 

[ma2000]

What this means ma (forgive me)?

"Doamne, ajuta" means God, help / May God help you / God bless / God, help us
We use it also as a greeting, just like in Serbian
