It's not exactly what I'd call exciting. It's just defeat, surrender, defeat, surrender, surrender, defeat etc.

Aweshum. And Hebrew can be useful for interpreting the Hebrew bible.

Well, it's more like deciphering, ancient hebrew is hard to understand even for people who are fluent in hebrew. But yeah, the old testament is much clearer in hebrew than it is in english.

I suppose it's like old English/modern English.
Wherefore musteth yonder mother tongue change? (04-26-2013, 02:52 PM)JoelCarli Wrote: I suppose it's like old English/modern English. It's not really the same, ancient hebrew has tons and tons of words which most people never heard about, you have to study it. Which i did, in school, but it was very boring and i didn't concentrate too much. The main difference between english and hebrew is vowels. English uses letters as vowels (AEIOU and someimtes Y), while hebrew uses little dot and symbols, next above or below the letters (meaning 2 words may look exactly the same without the vowel symbols but are pronounced differently and have different meanings). When kids learn hebrew in schools they learn it with those vowels, but most texts, books, signs, everything really, doesn't use em here (only when something may cause confusion it is really used). Ancient hebrew also has a few more vowels, which makes it very hard to get. Also forgot to mention, hebrew addresses to everything in a gender, for example, in english you say "you" which can address one male, one female, a few males, a few females, etc. In hebrew there's a word for each one, and for each time. Also objects are not "it", they are either a 'he' or a 'she', for example, a chair is a 'she', a table is a 'he'. It may sound weird, and it is for foreign people.
