HaSaffa HaYaffim shell HaIvrit


Is that right?

REDFEATHERS said:

Yes.

HEBREW ALPHABET


or

This is going to take me like, say, ten years or so to learn, isn't it?

REDFEATHERS said:

Almost

Ivrit Saffa Yaffa - Hebrew is a beautiful language.

HaPitmot Shta-yim HaMetuka shell NotzotAdumot






Teacher shell HaIvrit, please correct me.

How do you say, "How are you?"

AzureStar said:

Yes If you're lucky

But you're doing well.

Tzadik!

Heavenly said:

Where are the Ha's gone???

AzureStar said:

tough question...

Eih Ata Margish? - How are you feeling (asking a male)
Eih At Margisha? - How are you feeling (asking a female)

Ata - you (m)
At - you (f)

In hebrew we usually ask:
Ma Nishma? - How does it sound? (verbal translation) (hebrew version of 'How's it going?')

REDFEATHERS said:

You don't say The Hebrew. you just say Hebrew. so no need for Ha (the)

REDFEATHERS said:

Thanks for asking that...

AzureStar said:

I was wondering what the heck that was, but "NotzotAdumot Avaha HaTzadik!"

Heavenly said:

Ma Nishma?

I am going to practice that. How do you say that you're fine or the hebrew version of that.

That is how I did it with czech... practiced certain phrases... and worked my way up... working, I should say.

AzureStar said:

lol, Tzadik is also a word.

Tzadik - saintly, pious ; (biblical) just, moral

REDFEATHERS said:

Me, too!

Heavenly said:

But it was "The Beautiful Language of Hebrew".

Heavenly said:

Wait... I thought it meant pizza... it better or me and red just made asses out of ourselves...

AzureStar said:

Ani - me / I am (f & m)
Besseder - okay

Ani Besseder - I'm okay.

Tov - good (m) (sing.)
Tova - good (f) (sing.)

Tov, Toda - Good, thanks

Heavenly said:

This is good! Okay so, "Ma Nishma?"... "Tov, toda."

Right? If someone were to ask me, Ma nishma, I say... Tov, toda... right?

Tov... pronounced Tov, as in... hmmm.. "ox"?

It should say:

HaSaffa Hayaffa Shell HaIvrit

AzureStar said:

Exactly!

AzureStar said:

I love learning new languages, it is funny, but once you get through the basics, then you can learn so much quicker.

We will only know how to write it, and not speak it though! We are Mute Ivrits!

AzureStar said:

more like Toe

Heavenly said:

I edited but you didn't get that part yet... Tov is pronounced as as I would pronounce the "o" in "ox", right? and "toda" as in "yoda"... right?

Heavenly said:

both as in "toe"? See, I would have said it and I would have said it all wrong!
