Perfect!

In In handwritten/cursive Hebrew, do you make a difference between vav and nun sofit?
They look so similar to me.

the vav is short ,the same hight of regular letter, nun sofit is longer and stretches below the line.

now write yavan (Greece) in cursive Hebrew......

I still haven't found an Hebrew alphabet converter.

You write Yavan like yud-alef-vav-alef-nun sofit, right?

I found it here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=10448454&postcount=21). :)

It looks like yud-vav-vav-nun sofit.
Why the double vav?

Ani rotze limtzotz lekha is a phrase I learnt long long time ago, but I've never had the chance to test its usefulness.

Nope, Hebrew isn't even Indo-European.

must be sometype of arabist propaganda. Hebrew's ancient.
Although a lot of roots and origins are from Hebrew, which would explain anytype of mis-explained correlations. Example I heard recently that the hebrew word for prince is very similar to "czar" and the english "Sire". I think it's 'sar' in hebrew if I recall correctly.
as much as I love the irish, the similarities probably don't go beyond any type of common roots I assume.

ahh...?

there was the same semite language and writing system (proto cannite and proto sinite 1700BC.)
which was used by several groups throughout the eastern shores of the med. like the Moabites,the Edomites,the Pheonocians, and the Israelites.

the Hebrews adopted the language and writing system probably after resetteling in Canaan .while the rest mentioned above are since gone, Hebrew keeps carrying that ancient legacy.

It's just a coincidence. Czar comes from the Latin word for Caesar and has the same meaning, with no relation to sire or sir or whatever, neither words are related to Hebrew "sar" which only means "prince" by some stretch of the imagination.

Very few "English" words, without some direct religious meaning, originate in Hebrew. Umm... I can only think of "sack", it sounds the same too...

Hebrew origin names (http://www.babynamesworld.com/hebrew_names_1.html)

Wow some of your theories are really far-fetched. Sorry Hebrewtext but this is really extreme...

I can't even begin to address every one of these, so I'll group them:

ahh...?

there was the same semite language and writing system (proto cannite and proto sinite 1700BC.)
which was used by several groups throughout the eastern shores of the med. like the Moabites,the Edomites,the Pheonocians, and the Israelites.

the Hebrews adopted the language and writing system probably after resetteling in Canaan .while the rest mentioned above are since gone, Hebrew keeps carrying that ancient legacy.

I think you misunderstood Fidel. It was just a remark that was indirectly true. Hebrew is part of the Semitic languages and if we consider the ancient Hebrews to be Semitite then they would come, just like the rest of the Semitic languages along with their speakers, from Arabia. Some afrocentrists claim that the Afro-Asiatic language family, consisting of Semitic languages as well as ancient Egyptian, Berber and others comes from Africa. If we go by that theory, Fidel's point was correct.

hundreads of names and phrases in English and other European languages derive from Hebrew.
from the Hebrew bible to Latin and to the modern lang. we know today.

This is a real exaggeration. Hundreds? Barely several tens. Even the lists you gave don't pass the hundred mark. And unless we're living back in the late Middle Ages the Biblical names used in English-speaking communities are much less than hundreds. Something like one hundred.

Many Hebrew words have come into English in many cases directly from being used in the Bible.

Well, yeah you would expect names appearing in the Hebrew Bible to be used in English. Bethlehem? Jerusalem? Tel Aviv is also from Hebrew you know.

You would also expect that Jewish terms, like "rabbi", "Sephardi", "Kosher" and the such would be used in English. As well as religious terms, such as "Messiah", "Satan" and "Hallelujah". The rest are fascinating Hebrew words that found their way into English - but via the Bible.

Many common English names originate from the Hebrew names of the Bible e.g.
David meaning "beloved"
Elizabeth meaning "God's oath"
Joseph meaning "someone who grows"
Miriam meaning "strong"

Other Hebrew words have come to use more indirectly through other languages:
e.g.
The English word "wine" has come from the Hebrew word "yayin" via the Latin word "vinum".
The Hebrew word "shur" meaning "bull" has come to use through Greek as the zodiac sign "taurus".

"Wine" and "vinum" are related to Hebrew "yayin" but they do not originate from Hebrew. "Wine" is a wanderwort, a wondering word, a word present in unrelated language families whose origin, because of this, is unknown. It is hypothesized to originate from Georgian or maybe Iranian.

The word "taurus", although looking to be so, is in fact unrelated to Arabic "tawr" or Hebrew "shor" (at least as far as mainstream linguistics goes). "Taurus" is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root. The English equivalent is not "bull" (which is a Germanic root of unknown origin) but "steer".

What you have found here is evidence of the existence of Proto-World! :)

I'm pretty interested in the topic of the interrelation of german and hebrew and I did a lot of research. Even before Yiddish, etc there has been considerable hebrew influence on german and not only through religion!

Only recently the oldest austrian jewish grave has been found and it dates back to the 4th century CE (AD). Back then the local inhabitants, all over central Europe were pretty much barbarians with a culture that was far behind the roman, hellenic and also israelite-hellenic culture. Thus many things introduced to them through the roman conquest were new and loan words were taken over. Many linguists claim that some of them have semitic-hebrew-aramaic roots. And in many cases there is no doubt. Here are some examples it's always modern german word - hebrew root. The [] show the meaning in english:

Emmer [type of corn] - Omer (Getreidebündel) [batch of corn]
Lasche [strap/tongue] - Laschon (Zunge) [tongue]
Acker [field] - Ikar (Landwirt) [farmer]
Kauz [little owl bird] - Koss (kleiner Eulenvogel) [little owl bird]
Schöffe [judge] - Schofet (Richter) [judge]
taufen [baptize] - towel (eintauchen) [to dunk into water]
Schwur [oath] - Schwua (Schwur) [oath]
Scherbe [sherd] - Schewer (Scherbe) [sherd]
Eid [oath] - Ed (Zeuge) [witness]
Balsam [balsam/balm] - Bossem (Parfüm) [perfume]
Schaukel [swing] - schokel (wiegt) [weighs]
Bluse [blouse] - lowesch (zieht an; b = w, Buchstabentausch) [dresses]
Abt, Abtei [Abbot, monastery] - Abba/Aw (Vater) [father]
Laumann [name] - lau = nicht/nein [no]
Basalt [basalt] - Baselet (Basalt) [basalt]
dufte [great, slangish] - tow (gut) [good]
Kanone [canon] - Kaneh (Rohr) [tube]
Beisel [pub/bar] - Bajis (Haus) [house]
Fratze [ugly face] - Partzuf (Gesicht) [face]
Kluft [clothes] - Klippa (Schale, Rinde) [crust/peel]

These are only some that already date back to ancient times or medival times! And with Yiddish there has been much more exchange. It's really fascinating :)

It's also fascinating that there is quite some german in modern hebrew too, e.g. שטרודל for @... well originally it depicts this dish: http://www.tasteofaustria.info/i/strudel.jpg :D

^^I'm usually very skeptic about this kind of comparisons, but some are really undeniable. Hebrew wikipedia has a very comprehensive section about this in the Hebrew version of the German language article (featured!).
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%92%D7%A8%D7%9E%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA#.D7.94.D7.A9.D7.A4.D7.A2.D7.AA_.D7.94.D7.A2.D7.91.D7.A8.D7.99.D7.AA_.D7.A2.D7.9C_.D7.94.D7.92.D7.A8.D7.9E.D7.A0.D7.99.D7.AA

As well as the German wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_deutscher_W%C3%B6rter_aus_dem_Hebr%C3%A4ischen

The German influence on modern Hebrew is huge, it is very obvious and is seen almost every field (except religion, that's holy :)).
I doubt "Acker" however. Could it possible be related to "acre"?

Thanks man for the website.......it seems useful...

Well that’s just Complete and Utter Bullshit™
Not only are the languages not related at all (or very very very remotely), but Hebrew preceded Irish by many hundreds of years.

Who told you that?I have seen it mentioned in some books that Hebrew originated from Irish. I don't promote this view myself though.

Here is a book I found online: Hebrew a Sacerdotal Dialect Improvised from an Irish Language for the Secret Use of the Priests (http://www.amazon.com/Sacerdotal-Dialect-Improvised-Language-Priests/dp/1425320678/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213395506&sr=8-9). From the title of the book is seems the author is claiming that Hebrew was derrived from a secret language used by Druids, though I don't know the validity of this claim.

Hey there....its been a while since i've poped in this forum....hope its been well....i've got a question....where can i take hebrew online lessons for beginners?

I am using this one and I am a complete beginner:

It is an online course from Israel.

I tried quite some books and personally I found the Prolog books and DVDs to be the best: http://www.prolog.co.il or http://www.prologlearnhebrew.com

איזה עומק
מפתיע

[...]
ALP eleph cattle elephant
[...]"Elephant" comes from Greek "elephas", where "ele"=arch and "phas"/"phant" = fantastic/huge (hence elephas = "huge arch" meaning big bowed neck)

[...]
"Wine" and "vinum" are related to Hebrew "yayin" but they do not originate from Hebrew. "Wine" is a wanderwort, a wondering word, a word present in unrelated language families whose origin, because of this, is unknown. It is hypothesized to originate from Georgian or maybe Iranian.

The word "taurus", although looking to be so, is in fact unrelated to Arabic "tawr" or Hebrew "shor" (at least as far as mainstream linguistics goes). "Taurus" is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root. The English equivalent is not "bull" (which is a Germanic root of unknown origin) but "steer".
[...]Exactly! (http://paleoglot.blogspot.com/2009/10/diffusion-of-italian-terms-for-wine.html)
Funny, but we have no such word in Polish like taurus/toro meaning bull/steer, but... Aurox/Urus in Polish is "tur" (also "Urus" sounds like derivative form of "turus"/"taurus").

OK, now very simple question: can you tell what is written on the wall-plate of the University Library in Warsaw?
You can "walk" there in site NORC (http://www.norc.pl/street-view/). Zoom-in go to the left river's bank where name "Wisla" is placed and again zoom-in, then go to the Dobra Str. and Wislana Str. crossing at the label "Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego". The 5-th plate from the right is in Hebrew (between Hindi and Arabic plates) - you can zoom-in, turn or move around by manipulation on the left panel (with street-view picture). Is is excerpt from Torah, poetry or something else?

Can you upload a picture of that sign/whatever it is? I couldn't find it...

Sorry, I cannot upload anything from my workplace :(
The mentioned location is here (the centred cross on wikimapia) (http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=52.242373&lon=21.024313&z=16&l=28&m=h) - look for the same location on NORC map, the dotted path are points of viewing (just move the human figure along) and the panoramic view frame is in the left panel. Hope it will help :dunno:

Picture of the (green) building (but from a distance) is in this thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=570599) (16th from the top). And here the whole thread about BUW (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=87296) (again, no detailed pics of the plates :( ).

Found it! Is it this? (Sorry for the bad quality!)

Indeed, it is from the Bible. With a little help from the concordance, it's Ezekiel 2:6 (http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=eze+2&t=kjv&st=1&new=1&l=en)-3:3 (http://www.studylight.org/desk/?l=en&query=Ezekiel+3&section=0&translation=kjv&oq=eze%25202&new=1&nb=eze&ng=2&ncc=2). God commands Ezekiel to become a prophet of Israel and warns him of their responce to his dark prophecies.

Yes! That's it!
Thank you a lot, Obeznany! :bow:

BTW, the Library has one of the best roof gardens in Europe too (here on Zumi map (http://www.zumi.pl/namapie.html?&loc=Warszawa,+Wi%B6lana&long=21.0252932&lat=52.2424968&type=2&scale=1a&svActive=false)) :)

Off topic but would be interesting to find out what it means?

Shalom guys!

I think this might be the best thread to practice. I've been studying sporadically Hebrew but the problem is I only read and sometimes practice in my mind, but I don't have anyone who can help me with my studies... and above all, I never write, which is important as you have so many letters that can be pronounced the same way (I think it's the most difficult language to write I've encountered so far because of it's rules).

So I'll just write some random stuff from time to time and would be glad if you could correct my mistakes.

שלאמ לכל בנ אדמ, אני נרמינ מותליה ואני למד את העורית מכדשימ. אני רץה לנסוא לישראל אול לא מכר את הזמנ.
אפו אני, יש של אכת ו בשבת ההי אלכ לה.


This is what it SHOULD have been written :D "Shalom lekhol ben adam. Ani Nermin miitaliyah veani lamed et haivrit mikhodashim. Ani rotze linsoa leyisrael aval lo makir et hazaman. Efoh ani, yesh shul akhat ve bashabbat hahi elekh leha." <=== I hope it makes more sense now.

I hope this sub forum will help me to better my Hebrew!

well, it doesn't mean much. but i'll try to correct what i understood.

שלום לכל בני האדם, אני נרמין מיטליה ואני לומד את העברית (???). אני רוצה לנסוע לישראל, אבל לא (???) את הזמן.
the second paragraph i didn't understand at all.

1. the letters Mem (מ), Nun (נ), Khaf (כ), Peh (פ), and Tzadi (צ) - are written differently only at the end of a word. and in the end of a word, only the special group can be found. they are called "Endies" - Sofiot - סופיות
מ = ם
נ = ן
כ = ך
פ = ף
צ = ץ

2.
me, i - אני
we - אנו, אנחנו
you (male, single) - אתה
you (female, single) - את
you (male, plural) - אתם
you (female, plural) - אתן
he - הוא
she - היא
they (male) - הם
they (female) - הן
when you refer to a group where there are any men in it - to plural will always be in its male form.

hope you got a bit of it.

It should have meant "Hi to everyone, I'm Nermin from Italy and I study Hebrew since months. I want to travel to Israel but I don't know the exact time (when it will happen). Where I am, there's one synagogue and I will go to her this Saturday.

Thanks for the corrections!
