lesson in hebrew
I'd be happy to teach you some basics of Hebrew. Hebrew is a Semitic language spoken predominantly in Israel, where it's an official language along with Arabic.
Here are some basic words and phrases:
שָׁלוֹם - Shalom - Hello/Goodbye/Peace
תודה - Toda - Thank you
בְּבַקָּשָׁה - Bevakasha - Please
כֵּן - Ken - Yes
לֹא - Lo - No
אַנִי - Ani - I
אַתָּה - Ata - You (masculine singular)
אַת - At - You (feminine singular)
הוּא - Hu - He
הִיא - Hi - She
Here are a few basic sentences:
אֲנִי בְּסֵדֶר - Ani beseder - I am fine.
מַה שֵּׁם שֶׁלְּךָ? - Ma shem shelcha? - What is your name? (to a male)
מַה שֵּׁם שֶׁלָךְ? - Ma shem shelach? - What is your name? (to a female)
אֵיפֹה הַשֵּׁרוּתִים? - Eifo ha sherutim? - Where is the restroom?
אֲנִי לא מְבִין/מְבִינָה - Ani lo mevin/mevina - I don't understand. (masculine/feminine)
Remember, Hebrew is read from right to left, not left to right as in English. Let me know if you have any questions or want to learn more!
