Thank you so much your teaching me for correct grammar

Dear Ken, This is great!

תודה רבה! Very helpful!

There are some occasions wherein Hebrew words begin with "vav" as an independent consonant vs. a conjunctive. One example comes from Gen. 11:30: וַתְּהִי שָׂרַי עֲקָרָה אֵין לָהּ וָלָד Sarai was barren and childless. The last word "valad" means child (related to "yeled" and Arabic "walad".) Another case is Exodus 38:28 where it speaks of וָוִים, which are hooks for the posts in the mishkan (the tent of meeting in the wilderness). The word "vav" actually means "hook". It's a biblical term that has survived down to Modern Hebrew as well. Modern Hebrew has numerous words that begin with vav as a primary consonant or as a loan word.

A similar thing in Arabic, the "Min" when followed by a word that begins with a Ya, for instance, the Nun disappears becomes silent, and morphs into the ya. Min Yakhsha becomes Meyakhcha (He, who fears)

אני צריך להגיד לך משהו: זה נפלא ומצוינת! מזל טוב!

Good lesson, thanks. 👍

I just wanted to add that עַל can also mean: about, concerning or regarding. Just like how in English one can say "He will give a speech on a topic that is familiar to you all" or "He will give a speech about/regarding/concerning a topic that you are all familiar with".

Thank you. Love that lesson

Thanks Brother Ken. I like your style of teaching. This was the first video I watched. I'll watch your Hebrew playlists.

Thankyou

Awesome video

Thanks, Ken, good lessons. שלום

I once heard from a grammar police officer that conjunctions aren't really words but are abbv'd words. You will find abbreviations in the dictionary but the point it's not a quote/unquote 'separate' word. For instance, cannot and can't have the same meanings but are not separate words. When I say separate, I mean having a life of its own. The one depends on the other. If cannot was lost in 300 years. The meaning of can't would also be lost.

vav is similar to the waw in Arabic. Except that the waw (wa) in Arabic can be detached from the actual word, it's not attached to it.

what you try to explain sometimes si called equivalent dinamic traslation vs. literal traslation.

actually in math "but" and "and" mean the same thing. If you replace and where but is in a sentence it still makes sense ! Thanks for the video

Awesome

Hi Ken, can you please tell me about the prefix "ha"? Does it always mean "the"? Thank you, Darla :)

Very helpful content, but please work on sound quality (lots of pops and static)

and = ve for example ani ve'ata

great lesson - I was wondering why there was a "w" at the beginning of words... now i know its vav, not waw. and If I didnt start at a kindergarten level in learning Hebrew how would I get the basics?

Toda raba.

For a new beginner like me. What are the dots under the letter Waw and the crosses under other letters. Sometimes they use 3 dots or even a line under a letter. Is there a logical function using them?

what about the mem in verse 2? "merachephet" am I to read that as "from hover"?? seems weird

סרת טוב. אני חושב אתה יותר טוב מורה מאשר מורה שלי.

Hi sir can you tell me the meaning of לא and thank you so much for your help

does the vav have to have the vowels every time

and the earth

and the earth;

Min also more than Know that from memrise

וַיְּהִיmight be a bad example, pal. it can be easily verified by looking at Gen. 1, since there are a lot of "and it was so". my textbook teaches me that when yod employs a sheva, it cannot be doubled, so that the "double-letter" dot should be omitted., the correct form thus should be: וַיְהִיּ

I thought it was "ve"

paenitet! Nolo scire Hebrew.

Good video, but you keep referring to the "Old Testament", but the original Hebrew is from the Jewish Bible known as Tanach. The Christian "Old Testament" is a highly corrupted version of the Tanach.

Nolo scire Hebrew.

Oh wait, is this Biblical hebrew?

HaMoshiach = The Messiah (the chosen one) ha moshiach = the messiah (anyone anointed with oil) The messiah (ha moshiach) went to the store. The Messiah (HaMoshiach) built the temple. I think.... Anyone help me if you can.

You talk too much

and the earth
