Cute polar bear, dog looks a bit fed up though.

Speaking of polar bears... and Hebrew...
Have you come across the Israeli Eurovision winner from 1978 'A-ba-ni-bi o-bo-he-bev'?
Or as we all called it, 'I want to be a polar bear'.

Excellent, Tishri! You have a good grasp of the letters. Something tells me you've had a bit of Hebrew before. When letters stand alone its easy to get them confused with another similar one...however vocabulary words have a way of straightening these things out...

Here are a couple of words for you. Can you identify the individual letters in them? Don't worry about the "dots" just yet, unless you already know what they are or want to guess...

Correct! The dot above the vav וֹ is called a holem, and it has an "o" sound as in "top." The holem and the letter vav combine to form a vowel called a holem-vav. וֹ Only the holem ("o" sound) is pronounced - the consonantal sound of vav is ignored. That is the first syllable. Underneath the res רָ is a small "t" looking sign called a qames. The qames has an "a" sound as in "father." Its a two-syllable word - To-rah. Also the accent in Hebrew is on the last syllable unless indicated otherwise. To-RAH.

navy???
nun
vet
yod and aleph(silent)

Excellent! נָבִיא means prophet.
Under the nun נָ is another qames. Under the bet בִ is a dot which is a hireq. A hireq has an "i" sound as in "pin." Next to the bet is a yod י which is paired with the hireq to form a vowel called hireq-yod. Like the vav in the above holem-vav example, the consonantal sound of yod is not pronounced, only the "i" in the hireq. Following the hireq-yod is an aleph. Alephs are silent when they close a syllable. A silent aleph is also called a quiescent aleph. So the pronunciation is navi, with the accent on the last syllable.

lol I was thinking it was a trick word now I get it...lemme try something

I actually got thru the aleph /bet several times in the past it was just after that I kept having to quit my classes Im glad this is on line so I can go at my own pace

Hebrew Vowel points:

ָ Qames – looks like a small "t" under the consonant.ָ Its pronunciation is a as in “father” (most of the time). Sometimes the pronunciation is “o” as in “hop.” Then its referred to as a qames hatuph. Later we will go over the rules for when it has the "o" sound. A word with a qames is דָּוִד
David. The Dalet has a qames underneath it - and its an "a" father pronunciation.
ַ Patach – looks like a small underline under the consonant.ַ Its pronunciation is a as in “father.” A word with a patach is אַבְרָהָם
Abraham. Underneath the Aleph there is a patach.
ִ Hireq (hear-eq) – looks like a small dot under the consonant.ִ Its pronunciation is “i” as in “pin.” A word with a hireq is דָּוִד David - under the second letter, a vav, is a hireq.


ֵSere (say-ray) – looks like two small dots under the consonant. ֵ Its pronunciation is a long “e” as in “they.” A word with a sere is לֵוִי

Levi. Under the lamed is a sere - pronounced as a long e as in "they."

ֶSegol – looks like three small dots under the consonant. ֶ Its pronunciation is short “e” as in “pet.” A word with a segol is מֶלֶךְ king. The mem has a segol under it, and so does the lamed.

ֻ Qibbus – looks like three small descending dots under the consonant. ֻ Its pronunciation is “u” as in “rule.” A word with a qibbus is יְהוֹשֻׁעַ
Joshua. The shin has a qibbus under it.
ֺֹֺֹ Holem – looks like one small dot at the top left of the consonant.ֺֹֺֹIts pronunciation is “o” as in “role.” An example of a word with a holem is בֹּעַז


This is the name Boaz. The bet has a dot at the top left - that is a holem.


Most of the time Hebrew vowel points are distinguished from the consonants. At times, however a vowel point is combined with a consonant - either yod י or waw ו - and together they constitute a single long vowel. In those cases the consonant is not sounded. These vowels will be covered in the next lesson. There are also "half" vowels called shewas, for example the two "stacked" dots under the yod יְ . Shewas are a bit more complicated than simple vowels at this point. At times they are silent and other times they are pronounced. Shewas will also be covered later.

נָבִים
Nevi'im
means prophets right

I know that this was from a long time ago, but I wanted to make sure to give you a correction here.

The plural of נָבִיא is נְבִיאִים.

There are two things to note about this form:

1. The alef doesn't disappear. It is part of the root. We will see that some root letters can disappear or be modified (particularly, heh, yod and vav), but this happens predictably.

2. An initial kamats (ָ) shortens to a sheva (ְ) when we make the plural. דָּבָר thing becomes דְּבָרִים things. זָקֵן old man becomes זְקֵנִים old men.
