  2. Review חֲזָרָה The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  3. חֲזָרָה • Answer the following about the last lesson: • Recite the alphabet in order. (Can you write it?) • What are the begedkefet (בֶּגֶ״ד כֶּפֶ״ת) letters and why are they special? • How many letters have two different forms, and what are these letters? What is the second form used for? • What letters are these? • ← יוד כף שׁין אלף עין גימל נון צדי מם פא דלת • What names are spelled out here? • ← רחל תמר ישׂראל אדם משׁה יוסף כנען לוי עשׂו The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  4. Hebrew Vowels תְּנוּעוֹת הַשָּׂפָה הָעִבְרִית The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  5. תְּנוּעוֹת הַשָּׂפָה הָעִבְרִית There are basically five full vowel sounds in Hebrew. They are the same as those in Spanish (a, e, i, o, u). You should not think of them like the vowels in English, in which a might sound like apple. They are consistent and do not change between words (as we have apple, want and acorn with no predictability in terms of the sound of the letter a). In Hebrew aalways sounds like the a in the word father. The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  7. Syllabification חִלּוּק לַהֲבָרוֹת The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  8. חִלּוּק לַהֲבָרוֹת • Syllables • We don’t think too much about syllables in English. To tell the truth, Israelis don’t think about them much in Hebrew either! • When you study biblical Hebrew, you need to know a few things about syllables. • A syllable can be either open or closed. • An open syllable ends in a vowel; a closed syllable ends in a consonant. Simple as that! • If we let C be a consonant and v be a vowel, we have: • Cv (open) orCvC (closed) The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  9. חִלּוּק לַהֲבָרוֹת • Syllables (cont.) • Every syllable in Hebrew begins with a consonant (with only one exception). • In the word דָּבָרdavar, we have two syllables: דָּ|בָר. The first (דָּ) is open, since it ends in a vowel (Cv). The second (בָר) is closed, since it ends in a consonant (CvC). • In the word מַלְכָּהmalkah, we have two syllables: מַלְ|כָּה. The first (מַלְ) is closed, since it ends in a consonant (CvC). The second (כָּה) is open, since it ends in a vowel (Cv). • Notes: • Vowel letters (such as the ה in מַלְכָּה) do not count as consonants. • Sheva usually closes a syllable in the middle of a word.

  10. חִלּוּק לַהֲבָרוֹת Syllables (cont.) Examples from the Vocabulary שָׁלוֹם – two syllables: first open; second closed… שָׁ|לוֹם יִשְׂרָאֵל – three syllables: first closed; second open; third closed… יִשְׂ|רָ|אֵל אֶ֫רֶץ – two syllables: first open; second closed… אֶ֫|רֶץ אִשָּׁה – two syllables: first closed; second open… אִשְׁ|שָׁהThe dagesh represents doubled shin. אֱלֹהִים – two syllables: first open; second closed… אֱלֹ|הִיםHalf vowels and sheva do not count for full syllables.

  11. Verbless Clauses מִשְׁפָּטִים שֵׁמָנִיִּים The Hebrew Café thehebrewcafe.com/forum

  12. מִשְׁפָּטִים שֵׁמָנִיִּים • Introduction • In English, all true sentences have verbs (words that indicates actions or states of being). • This isn’t the case in Hebrew. In Hebrew, we can make sentences without verbs, as long as we have a noun as the subject and something in the predicate. • He doctor. = “He is a doctor.” • They my friends. = “They are my friends.” • She beautiful. = “She is beautiful.” • This is found on page 11 of the book with the sentence לֹא אֱלֹהִים הֵ֫מָּה.
