Haha, no worries, it will get easier over time :)

To me, French is harder.

@@HebrewToday 😂

how, like half of english vocabulary is french

Shalom, Shalom le Coulam, eh ben, dites donc, j'aurais jamais cru que quelqu'un pourrait penser que le français serait plus difficile que l'hébreu . 😮 Pour moi en tout cas, c'est le contraire. Je suppose que cela dépend de la provenance, donc pour un Ashkenazi ou un Yankee (ou en yiddish un Yankele) c'est probablement plutôt dur d'apprendre l'hébreu, tandis que pour un Sépharade qui a fait la guerre d'Algérie et qui connait déjà la grammaire arabe, l'hébreu lui semblera plutôt facile. J'aimerais bien savoir de ceux qui pensent que l'hébreu est plus facile que le français, quelles sont leurs raisons. Ça m'intéresserait vraiment... Merci par avance de votre contribution ! Lehitrahot vé yevarekhekha ! 😊

A bit eird that they are not fully used ..

Thank you Jessie :)

But somehow I found it easier to understand and learn the harakat. It's only now with this video, that made a very good summary, I would even dare to type: an excellent summary, that I got the difference between the nikkudim for a and for e. Only the Sheva still bothers me as I still don't understand in which cases to pronounce a polish y and in which cases to just swallow it. Is it just a question of how much an Israeli is in a hurry while speaking? 😅 e.g.: working class sabras swallow it and old retired guys pronounce a polish y ? 😂

Yes bro I m Muslim and I m learning Hebrew it's like the same language as arabic

Happy to hear! Toda- Thank you

God da....n it

Thanks for sharing!

@@HebrewToday but how i am supposed to know when to use kamats or patah for a sound ? ❤

I was confused too, this video also missed some.

Thank you, hope it helps in learning the Hebrew language

Thank you for the feedback!

You are most welcome :)

Our pleasure :)

You're welcome.

Nor it would never be used for a Gimel

@@saar144 The hatef kamats can be used outside of gutturals (א ה ח ע), but it's quite rare, being a bit more common in Biblical Hebrew. However, the hatef segol and hatef patah can only be used with gutturals.

Search online for your operating system and device (computer, tablet, or phone) to add Hebrew to your keyboard.

えっぐぷらんと3 if you have an iPhone, there is a hebrew keyboard, but it only has some niqqud. If you have an Android phone, download gboard and then add the hebrew or yiddish(look out this is a different language, but it does have all of the niqqud). Or download a different app

It is the chataf segol , a half 'e'

Hi, you can click on the settings of the videos and choose the subtitles you prefer.

Hebrew Today so thats a 'no' ?

The subtitles are only in English at the moment

Hebrew Today Yeah, that's the point

The starters packet is not available at the moment. We are working on publishing it soon.

Absolutely correct. The video also neglects to mention Hataf Tzere.

@@saar144 There is chataf segol, but I've never seen a chataf tsere.

Great points, but chataf vowels do appear occasionally on non-gutturals, roughly 250 times in the Hebrew Bible. Have a look at Genesis 1:18 or 2:23 for example.

@@Hungry4Hebrew indeed

אם can mean two things. אִם= im= if or אֵם = em = mother

Hebrew Today תודה :)

Correct, this nikud system is modern, but it is not so far away from the biblical one.

True, some sounds didn't make it in the modern Hebrew, but the language is still very similar, and would sound almost the same to a lot of people.

Some people use this for learning modern Hebrew, you know? ;J Speaking of "other versions" though: what better resources would you recommend?

@@HebrewToday uP

Shalom, Intonation in Hebrew is generally marked with this symbol: < above the syllable emphasized So we would write the word: < בוקר (bo'ker) - morning (emphasis on the first syllable) And the word < בוקר (boker') - cowboy (emphasis on the last syllable) We should point out that these symbols don't appear in regular texts, only sometimes in learning texts and the like.

@@HebrewToday Thank you for your answer. That is new for me. I'd like to ask you only another question. (2:14) Why is there more than one symbol (Nikud) for the same vowel?

@@pssilva3973 This is a very good question, and in fact, many people ask it. As you've noticed, the two types of nikud sound the same, but the truth is that really each nikud should be pronounced a little bit differently. Sometimes the different types of nikud indicate which syllable to emphasize in the word. Our recommendation is not to worry about this too much. The truth is that most native Hebrew speakers don't know the difference between the different symbols… We recommend you to Join us on Facebook too, you will find more info about the Hebrew language. facebook.com/HebrewToday/

@@HebrewToday Thank you.

Nathan Zacharias o with no stress makes an “au” sounds which sounds like an A

The original sound of QameS is what's called an 'obtuse /o/'. This is the same as the vowel /o/ in the word 'boat' but with the mouth opened with the same height as the vowel /a/, as in 'shot', in the American pronunciation of English. When this obtuse /o/ vowel is reduced in a syllable which lacks the stress, it gets shortened to /ɔ/ like in the word 'horse'. The Hatef QameS is pronounced shortened just like this too. Since the Latin alphabet uses the same symbol for the phonemes /o/ and /ɔ/, it's difficult to understand when some one just says it's pronounced as an 'o' vowel. The reason Qames is taught as 'ah' is because most languages don't have the obtuse /o/ so it gets simplified to /a/ or 'ah'. To put it simply, the obtuse /o/ is the 'ah' and the /ɔ/ is the 'oh' in your question. But remember this isn't a long /o/ like in 'boat'; it's short like in 'horse'.

Star Knight ayfo (pronounced ay as in, bay and fo as in, fox).

My response above is regarding British English pronunciation

מאיפה אתה?

Shalom, brother. Chireq is actually a long /i/ when it's stressed or in an open syllable; short /ɪ/ when in a closed, unstressed syllable. When it has Yod, this indicates it's historically and inherently long. Some vowels were long inherently while others were originally short and made long by the phonetic environment. A Chireq or Sere with a yod was the same quantity as one without Yod. The Yod just indicates inherent length prior to any modifications. Inherently long vowels weren't allowed to be modified so were permanently fixed by the addition of vowel-letters to represent them.

Hi, You can join our FB page, I am sure you will be able to find native speakers over there: facebook.com/HebrewToday/

Nikud, or niqqud is a system of diacritical signs used to represent vowels or distinguish between alternative pronunciations of letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In modern Israeli orthography, niqqud is infrequently used, except in specialized texts such as dictionaries, poetry, or texts for children and Hebrew learners.

Salut Basic, pas étonnant car l'arabe est issu d' un mélange du copte avec l'hébreu... Hagar, la mère de Ishmaël était égyptienne, parlait donc au début un patois de l'ancien copte très probablement. C'est suite à ce que le Pharaon a fait cadeau de Hagar à Abraham et Sarah qu'elle a commencée à apprendre l'ancien hébreu... Son fils a probablement grandi avec la langue natale de sa mère et la langue de son maître en même temps, d'où la possibilité de mélanger les deux pour en faire une ancienne langue arabe qui n'existait pas auparavant... 😊

What is the name?

I find it more complicated than calculus LOL 😂🤣

Nice!

If only it worked that way for the entire language... :q I only see this gematria trick being used to bait newcomers into learning Hebrew. Arabs do that too with their "hidden scientific knowledge in Quran".

Hebrew actually has a lot more than just gematria. Like the word אֱמוּנָה ("faith"), who comes from the same root as the verb לְאַמֵּן ("to train someone") and the noun אֹמָן ("artist"). Or the word עוֹלָם ("world"; "eternity" in old Hebrew) who shares root with the verb לְהֵיעַלֵּם ("to disappear").

Joshua your language is disgusting.There may be children reading this.Then again they are probably older than you

@@abrahamites5441 I'm just saying a bunch of letters, no biggie. And don't act as if kids these days don't swear every sentence when you're not watching. I''m 33, but nice dig. You should consider though whether being so particular about a bunch of random words is the real childish thing here. If you took the time to notice, I was actually saying how good of a resource this is! Now shove up yours and grow tf up.

Niqqud is only for begginers in Hebrew

What was Hebrew like before

Joshua no nikud. native hebrew speakers can read naturally without it. modernized hebrew has nikud for non-native hebrew learners.

Hi Ashley, this is true if Hebrew is your native tongue. But people who want to learn Hebrew as a second language need to get familiar with all words and their pronounciation. The nikud guides all of the learners that don't have enough vocabulary to know how to pronounce Hebrew words.

Hebrew Today yeah i know im.just saying that they shouldnt expect finding it in a lot of texts and stuff, but of course they should learn it

Please check out Christian Prince..

English is way more simple than Hebrew Sure, English is my first language BUT- English also has far less rules Our vowels are just simply a part of our alphabet Not an entirely different code to learn 😅 The most "complicated" things about English: Silent letters Learning 'ought' in various spellings ...and the difference between are/our Hebrew has rules for rules that change based upon other rules They even have letters that are written differently if placed at the end of a word! It's A LOT to take in and memorize!!! Still determinded to learn it tho
