I love your videos, Maha. Seeing this one in particular is a GREAT sign of hope for the Middle East and the whole world. You're making me want to learn Arabic more than ever! Baci e auguri dall'Italia :-)

Maha, I love your videos!! You do a great deal to promote peace between Israelis and Arabs. Heyam, you speak Hebrew so beautifully. Were you born in Israel??

שלום. כביר בעברית היא "גדול מאוד" אבל בדרך כלל כלפי דברים לא פיזיים (כמו רצון כביר, וכו'). לכן עוד פעם אפשר לראות את הקשר בין השפות. Kabir in Arabic and Kabir in Hebrew have the same meaning..

Congrat, guys! Like this much!! Peace 4 all!! Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia!!

im shocked to ee people suprised tat two women can be in peace together,, there has always been multi ehtnic societies living among eachother in peace in the SOuth east asia territory... some people get a long some dont. why is that a suprise?

u guys will make me learn Hebrew now !!

brothers even, lol ismael & isaac.

Sagheer... is that (saad - ghyn - yaa - raa) for spelling?

Hey Maha I've got one question: Katan - Ktana (קטן - קטנה) Gadol - Gdola (גדול - גדולה) You said that one have to just add an "A" at the end, but methinks that - at both words - the first vowel of the word is not spoken anymore. Is this normal in Hebrew? Is there any rule for it? Anyway, awesome Video! :D

Ciao Maha! I discovered your videos just a couple of days ago, and I love them. If you'd make some more Hebrew lessons, I'd be so happy, since that's the language I'm trying to learn right now. But I started watching your arabic course, just because you're such a brilliant teacher. Toda, shukran and grazie!

shukran, toda for yours explainations.

Fun lesson - you 2 make a great team!

That's BRILLIANT, Maha! Maybe you should do videos that recap on earlier lessons like this, to give a sort of perspective of the stuff you've already taught. Many forget how related Arabic and Hebrew are and it's a very interesting context.

@Dorksche - Yes, this is perfectly normal in Hebrew. This is because when the A is more than one syllable away from the stress, the vowel will no longer be produced. This is almost always the case with all words that have the A sound in Hebrew. For example: Hungry: Ra-Ev (m.s) R-E-va (f.s). רָעֵב - רְעֵבָה Hope this helps!

cool Maha, but if you say in Hebry ani tse'era for young it souds then again very similar to the arabic I am smal "ana sagheera". Great what your doing there.

@tihk89 That's very interesting:):) It also means Great in sanscrit. and Cow's eyes in Arabic lol :)

two very entertaining and beautiful ladies.. great lesson thanks!

Some part in arabic countries as mine we say ani when we speak for I'm and ana only in writing

Todah Rabah to you m Arabic cousin. This is just another proof that we cousin can look beyond our differences and learn from each other.

do you think that their is a possible linguistic connection between the Arabic word Saghrir (small) and the Hebrew work tza'ir (young)?

Wow, I find this so interesting. There's SO much to learn though! Maybe I should check out some books from the library. :|

maha thank you we need more to learn Hebrew im a arabic speaker and i want to become herbew sepaker too

i wish i could write in Arabic and Hebrew on my computer! I feel so left out!

@garywingrove you can use it by control panel > language setting > add your desired language in bar. and you can shift your languages in word or any document. :)

@LearnArabicwithMaha and @tihk89, Maha is also the verb 'to wave' (like a bye bye wave) in Polish :)x

مهــــآآآ كم لغة تعرفين .. عربي انجليزي إيطالي عبري ..!؟وبعد؟ أتمنى لك التوفيق استفدت منك

@LearnArabicwithMaha actually I think Maha means antelope or arabian oryx in arabic.

Both of them are Arabs from Israel. Arabs can have "whiter" skin as well. Your comment is racist and antisemitic. Jewish and Arabs belong to the land that is called today Israel. There are no "foreign occupiers".

i perfectly spea hebrew and arabic , but i'm still watching , because you're so funny and gorgeous !!

@LearnArabicwithMaha Maha, your name in Arabic is a desert animal (el maha) its called oryx in english which looks like a deer but with long and pointy horns and its famous for its beautiful eyes which is always mentioned in Arabic poems google it in Arabic to see what it looks like. . (المها)

good toda raba

Me encanta tu video y sigue adelante... Ani medaber hibrit, yet i want to get gettet in hebrew first then arabic! תובה!  greetings from Mexico

@LearnArabicwithMaha Hey it means "GemsBuck" or "Oryx" in Arabic which is a very beautiful animal

even though i dislike arbic i like you videos very much....it seems you are nice people!

@avivkm You should be thankful to hear it at all

Hi .... i'am Othman ... i saw some of your videos and i think you are doing god job .. so move on ^_^

מילה נוספת ל"קטן" היא "זעיר", מאד דומה לערבית... :)

@0stsee אני מדבר עברית. רציתי לדעת את זה בערבית... תודה

!Maha is a name of a beautiful desert animal المها Good videos!!!

you can actually say kabeer in Hebrew too, it means the same as in arabic. Though it's not in much use these days, it's more biblical. Also I'd like to say these videos are really cool. I hope they do some real tikun olam, that's Hebrew for fixing the world (sort of like heal the world), which is a concept in Jewish religion.

ولكم هيام نورتي الفيديو ,

@TheThanto obviously yeah. From the name and the look

Ani ktana is for declaring a size while ani tzehira is for declaring age. So, ani ktana it's mean i'm small (in size) and Ani tzehira means i'm Young!!

@NCheerios Ooh, didn't see your comment. I just said basically the same thing. D'oh!

your friend is beautiful! thanks for the lesson

me too!

yay finally another hebrew lesson :D

Maha! Your name means stomach in Finnish x)

they are not, they are just people like everyone else. and if you were right you'd say that the Jesus and christians are also our cousins. review your historical information.

How about the plural

u can, just use virtual keyboard

in hebrew you say i am not young (ani lo zeira) for a big female or i am mebugeret

Wonderfulll lady, I love youuu

todah- shucran ;)
