Ay-men or Ah-men?

[Mission 3:16]

hehehe, i'm feeling quite random. And me and my friend were having an argument about this.

Let's see what happens...

 

[Judy]

I say ah-men... It's like some that say Aunt and others say Ahnt

[Solo]

Like a good Baptist, I say Ay-men as in ain't! :-D

 

[lovely]

I usually say Ay-men, except when I sing the Doxology. That last part just doesn't sound right unless you say Ah-men.

The Lord bless you.

 

[Preacher Boy]

I hate to hear the Ahhhh-men type, sound's liberal to me...hehehe.

I give a hearty AAY--Men whenever needed or just comes out when i get excited.

And when i really like to make a point preaching it sounds more like H'Amen, I guess it's a southern style thing.

Ive always said ahh-men, which is not the norm for here in the south. I've had little kids correct me; they are brutaly honest and outspoken!
I just say ..."ok then, we'll say 'A'-men."
I realize how close this thing could be to a full blown salvation issue ;-)

ah-men for singing
ay-men for praying or seconding something

In Hebrew/Yiddish, it's AW-main.
Latin: Ahh-men
Polish: AH-men
It and Sp: Ah-men
Book of Common Prayer English: Ah-men
Americans: Ay-men.

Thank you Judy, Destiny and Steve. I agree. That means I'm saved, no? :-D

 

[jgredline]

So How does a person from the south say amen
or from Boston, NY, jERSEY, tEXAS, Cali??

 

[Vic C.]

Are you suggesting Texas is not in the South? I bet Solo would disagree with you. :

 

[jgredline]
