A. A. There isn’t a language as Lebanese, Lebanese people speaks Arabic as well. And, yes! Hebrew is definitely closer to Aramaic as it derived from it to begin with
@@HaiderAlZubaidi Hebrew didn't exactly derive from Aramaic, but the two languages are both members of the Northwest Semitic language family, while Arabic is from a separate branch. However, all three are Central West Semitic languages, and you're right in another sense; modern Hebrew square script was adopted from Imperial Aramaic and eventually replaced the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet as the primary form of written Hebrew following the Babylonian captivity and the colonization by the Assyrians of ancient Israel and Judah.
@@ronkalinovsky6898 Well that makes sense...The Towel of Babel and that darn Nimrod and his scheming. We could’ve all been writing in paleo Hebrew if it weren’t for that whippersnapper
Please consider creating and uploading new videos on building our own Hebrew sentences. I know you have shared a lot of phrases to memorize, and I commend you for that, but I like building blocks, not action figures. I want every possible lesson for building sentences fluently with correct conjugation, punctuation, and tenses from preschool level up to college level.
Very clear. The discussion on saying questions, however, could have been better handled by explaining changes in intonation rather than saying it's difficult. Changes in intonation play a role in many languages including English to distinguish a statement from a question.
The original Hebrew started out as VSO and evolved into a SVO language over time. Then, it stopped being a living language but continued to be used as a literary language and occasionally in speech between Jews of different linguistic backgrounds.
This is very interesting thanks :-) quick question though: what is the main difference between using אכל and אוכל for saying someone is eating? It looks like both can be used for food and to say someone is eating, but is there a distinction between them?
Thanks :-) does that affect the spelling though? Does אכל always mean eat and אוכל always mean food, as it looks like they can be used interchangeably?
Gotcha. I was checking because the spelling used in the video was אכל and the way I've heard it was spelt was אוכל. I know many words and concepts in English can be written different ways and have different words with the same meaning - its just that those two are so similarly spelt I wondered if they are just variants on how the word is pronounced or separate words
Well, the Hebrew grammar that excludes 'am', 'are', 'a', 'is', 'am a', etc and forms the 'subject, verb, object' grammar is pretty similar to that to Russian and Chinese grammar.
there are many different word constructions that can be use, but they slightly change the meaning of the sentence and the level of speech used. Also, if you use a suffix to signify the subject, it will be at the end of the verb in which case you are right. But the most basic form of modern Hebrew is, like they said in the video, SVO.
