Kabarnos chants Psalm 136 (Psalm 135 in the Septuagint) Praise the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. The Greek Church uses a number of different tones for this Psalm, which when combined, make for a fascinating performance.

Slovak alphabet + conversation

Since there arent almost any slovak language based blogs, I decided I will put here at least a small conversation, so you can get at least a hint of how its written :)

First of, the alphabet: A, B, C, Č, D, Ď, E, É, F, G, H, I, Í, J, K, L, Ľ, Ĺ, M, N, Ň, O, Ó, Ô, P, R, Ŕ, S, Š, T, Ť, U, Ú, V, W, X, Y, Ý, Z, Ž

  - usually we dont use this alphabet, just the normal one without our letters (honestly, who has the time?), but so you get what letters we have and use. Unfortunately I have no idea how to explain the pronunciation - my english friends had quite a trouble to pronunce them hah. Here is the conversation:

A: Ahoj, ako sa máš? (Hi, how are you?)

B: Dobre, ďakujem. A ty? (Good, thanks. And you?)

A: Dobre. Volám sa A. Ako sa voláš? (Good. My name is A. Whats your name?)

B: Som B. Rád/a ťa spoznávam. (Im B. Nice to meet you.)

For beginning its enough, trust me. Slovak language is famous for its very hard grammar, so all I will add to this conversation: "Rád/a" -> rád - masculine; rada - feminine (there isnt long a (á) anymore in faminine). We have the neuter gender as well. Something that helps to make the grammar hard, hard, hard! :)
