Hi, guys! Some people have been questioning the Arabic connection with some of the words in the video. One word is פשוט pashut (simple), which they have told me appears in the Talmud. I got this word from a book by Joshua Blau who was a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Book title: The Renaissance of Modern Hebrew and Modern Standard Arabic: Parallels and Differences in the Revival of Two Semitic Languages). The book states that the word was a medieval loan translation of Arabic بسيط basiiT. I don't know the exact time frame, so I can't personally confirm that it was earlier than the appearance of פשוט pashut in the Talmud. I just used what was written in that source. Another one is חרש kharash (to plough). My source for that one was an article by an Arabi Israeli academic Seraj Assi in Ha'aretz newspaper (the source is in the description). He states that Ben Yehuda introduced that word into Modern Hebrew based on Arabic حرث Harath(a). חרש kharash does appear in Biblical Hebrew with the meaning of "to plough", so based on what I read about Ben Yehuda, it seems that he probably looked at the Modern Standard Arabic word, then went back to earlier forms of Hebrew and found an equivalent word to introduce into Modern Hebrew with the same usage. I have read lots about him doing this: he went back and found Hebrew roots that matched Arabic roots, and used them to create new words. But in this case it seems he just used the word itself. So, if that’s the case, a new word was not coined, but the revived usage of the word was inspired by Arabic. I think those are the main two that are worth pointing out. The others simply have cognates in Hebrew, but the Arabic loan word is separate from it. The rabbit hole just keeps going deeper!

@vipertact 4 года назад

Langfocus I love your channel Paul and it is all about languages and no politics but.. i have to say that Haaretz is well known in Israel to be left-wing. They publish a lot of arab israeli material that has some intent in debasing Israeli Jewish culture. A word Ben Yehuda indeed take from Arabic is Minshar in the meaning of Manifesto as those were very political times. Today the word is hardly used.

@Langfocus 4 года назад

@@vipertact I just looked at what he said about Ben Yehuda's activities, not his conclusion. I don't think he would just make up a linguistic example to support a political point, since there are a number of clear examples of Ben Yehuda's coinage and borrowings he could have used if he just needed to support his conclusion. I do wonder exactly where he got the information from, though.

@vipertact 4 года назад

Langfocus I'll read it if I find it

@vipertact 4 года назад

perakole I dont know why is it so ridiculous to you but ok. As any Brit can tell you some UK newspapers are left Labour leaning and are Right Tory leaning. Israel is a democracy with freedom of press and the same situation exists. Haaretz are left leaning and that affects the content and articles they choose to publish. When reporting facts mostly they all report the same but have different commentary and views.

There are many loan words in daily hebrew from turkish, btw, for example, foods, burekas, sawarma, gazoz, mangal, baklava, yogurt, shishlik these are turkish and they are very very common in daily varnacular hebrew, but also words like Tembel, efendi, tabo(from tapu) and dunam (from dunun land measurements) are used in daily speech they are clearly of turkish origin, dating back to the ottoman empire!

@rustinusti 4 года назад

井上俊幸 Yes! We have “ketab” for book in Farsi. The Middle Persian word was nebi/nabi, but it was entirely replaced by “ketab” in New Persian. *Afterthought:* Maybe the Middle Persian word has a common root with the English word “novel”? It’s very possible considering the many other cognates Persian and English share. “Bad” in Persian means the same as the English word “bad”, “tondar” means “thunder”, “mādar” means mother, and so on.

@AAmed1980 Год назад

We use so many Arabic words in Urdu as well. "Ya'ni" is used very often to clarify a statement. Also Sababa struck me as there is a famous song in Urdu with the line "Dil Darrkna ka Sabab" meaning the the hearts longing.

Right, there are thousands and thousands of Hebrew and Arabic words that are similar to each other simply because they come from the same Proto-Semitic roots. (For example, ‘isma and shm‘a or sala’am and shalom.) But the words described in this video are examples of ones which were likely taken from Modern Arabic into Modern Hebrew, by the hundreds of thousands of Arabic-speaking Jews who moved to Israel, or by influence from Arabic-speaking Palestinians in and around Israel.

Madrub also means something is a "knock-off", unoriginal. Usually when referring to products that don't have a brand

@belalabusultan5911 4 года назад

Madrub has many meanings in dialects, just in Palestinian Dialect it can mean : Beaten , someone who got hit, low quality, rotten, broken product, fake, knock off, and on very rare occasions it can mean (crazy) but this last meaning is not used much lately.

This has been very enlightening. I like videos like those because it concentrates on similarities rather than differences. I laughed hard at 9:50 'fadikha'. I am an arabic speaker and immediately knew what it means.

Many thanks for such videos which show how languages are always in need for each other through history in verity of ways , and to look at all these astonishing differences and similarities between languages The presentation of this video is excellent and I have only one notice that هاجر is pronounced in the sound چ in the Main dialect of Egypt but not in formal language of Egypt as a native speaker of Arabic I can see that some people mix between formal Arabic and Arabic dialects And to make it clear in Arabic language we have so many dialects for example: Egyptian, Lebanese, Tunisia and so on but when we com to formal we have only one formal language for all Arab speakers

i have been waiting for this video for so long, as my grandfather studied hebrew to better understand arabic's relation with other semetic languages

@karlmarx920 4 года назад

@Shane my native language (Arabic) is completely written phonetically which is contrary to how English is written, i also speak German and its also phonetically written, and english is ..... you already know what it is, it just makes sense to write it down as it is pronounced "semetic" and my brain automatically does it, the use of regulated diphthongs and vowels is so convenient.

@gloystar 4 года назад

Well, given that I'm a native Arabic speaker, and the fact that I already knew that Hebrew belongs to the same language family, It didn't surprise me that much. However, I didn't expect that percentage of Arabic influence on Hebrew vocabs. The kind of words that are in common is also astonishing. Excellent video!

Our problem as Arabs that we speak different accents and slangs that I for instance find it difficult to understand any Morrocco, Tunisian or Algerian, meanwhile anyone from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq or even Libya seems smooth, Moroccan and Hebrew sounds similar to me and barely can understand it unless spoken slowly. Like Morrocco tv shows are impossible to understand.

@cruyffssoul2397 3 года назад

@@zakidine I feel like the three major dialects are Iraqi (and the rest of the GCC), Yemeni (Horn of African), Syrian, Egyptian (Sudan too?), and Moroccan (Maghreb). If you understand them then you understand everything. Someone from the Mashriq will be able to understand them all as long as he learns Moroccan. I’m not Maghrebi so I cannot speak on it but I assume since there is diversity in the dialects of the Mashriq it would be a bit hard.

@@HasanKhater If we were around them more then that wouldn’t be an issue. The other dialects are pretty easy to understand tbh.

Its because their language died and the only remain was their holy book so they used the the tawrah as a base for the language revival however the holy book wasnt enough. Because it lacked common everyday words needed to function, so they started borrowing and then assimilating words
