Bibles used by Catholics are different from the Bibles used by Protestants. After the Reformation, Catholic Bibles remained unchanged and Protestants rejected the seven books called deuterocanonicals (Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, parts of Esther and parts of Daniel)

Tigrinya nouns have plural, as well as singular, forms, though the plural is not obligatory when the linguistic or pragmatic context makes the number clear. As in Tigre and Geʼez (as well as Arabic), noun plurals may be formed through internal changes ("broken" plural) as well as through the addition of suffixes. For example, ፈረስ färäs 'horse', ኣፍራሰ ʼafras 'horses'.Negation is expressed through the prefix ay- and, in independent clauses, the suffix -n: ኣይፈለጠን ʼay-fäläṭä-n 'he didn't know'. There is a definite article, related (as in English) to the demonstrative adjective meaning 'that': እታ ጓል ʼǝta gʷal 'the girl'. A Tigrinya noun is treated as either masculine or feminine. However, most inanimate nouns do not have a fixed gender. Protestants follow the canon of the Hebrew Bible, and Catholics base the Old Testament on the Septuagint, the translation of the Jewish Scripture into Greek. The result is that the Catholic Version have more books: 46 (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi) For Tigrinya speaking Ethiopians and Eritreans all over the world, this is best Tigrinya Catholic Bible app

Choose from a selection of eight different font style ( GF Zemen, Abyssinica, Jiret, Yebse, Washra Semi Bold, Washra Bold slant, Washira Bold, Wookianos). Tigrinya dialects differ phonetically, lexically, and grammatically. [7] No dialect appears to be accepted as a standard.There is no general name for the people who speak Tigrinya. In Eritrea, Tigrinya speakers are officially known as the Bəher-Təgrəñña ("nation of Tigrinya speakers") or Tigrinya people. In Ethiopia, a Tigrayan, that is a native of Tigray, who also speaks the Tigrinya language, is referred to in Tigrinya as təgraway (male), təgrawäyti (female), tägaru (plural). Bəher roughly means "nation" in the ethnic sense of the word in Tigrinya, Tigre, Amharic and Ge'ez. The Jeberti in Eritrea also speak Tigrinya. Verbs also have a separate jussive/ imperative form, similar to the imperfective: ይስበሩ yǝ-sbär-u 'let them break'. Within personal pronouns and subject agreement inflections on verbs, gender is distinguished in second person as well as third. For example, ተዛረብ täzaräb 'speak! (m.sg.)', ተዛረቢ täzaräbi 'speak (f.sg.)'. The verb of existence together with object suffixes for the possessor expresses possession ('have') and obligation ('must'): ኣሎኒ ʼallo-nni 'I have, I must' (lit. 'there is (to) me').
