acknowledgments about the authors Justin Ben-Adam (Rudelson), formerly Justin Jon Rudelson, was born in Beverley Hills, California. He is also the author of Lonely Planet’s Central Asia phrasebook. He holds a doctorate in Social Anthropology from Harvard University, and speaks more than 20 languages. IIana Wistinetzki was born in Tel Aviv and grew up in Givataim. At age 27 she exchanged the Mediterranean spell with the charms of Paris, where she went to study Chinese. She has been a student of Chinese ever since. She also studied at Beijing University, and later went on to teach Beijing University’s Hebrew courses.

from the authors

a c k n owl ed g m en t s

In his odyssey with the Hebrew language, Justin gives his greatest thanks to Rabbi Michael Paley, his rabbi while he was an undergraduate at Dartmouth College. In Israel, Justin’s tremendous love goes to Monette, Christian, Moshe and Keren Seboun, who gave him a home in the Holy Land. He gives his thanks to those who helped him recover the Hebrew language lost to his ancestors during the Jewish Diaspora, including Ulpan Akiva in Netanya, Dana Stern, and Ronit Feingold. He gives his huge khibukim to the Feingold family of Nataf, including Haim, Ronit, Daniel, Tal and lrit. Justin’s contribution to this book is dedicated to his wife, Chelle ‘Che’ Rudelson. IIana thanks Peter, her charming prince who, not least, cracked offhandedly the mysteries and vagaries of the software; Talya, who always remembered the words she didn’t; her brother Yoram and nephew ldan, who updated her on idioms; Susan her enthusiastic student and friend who, together with Noa, provided a list of dishes; and, last but not least, Cristina in Paris, who needs to refresh her Hebrew vocabulary. She dedicates this book in memory of her father, Johanan Wistinetzki, whose love for languages was second only to his love of music.

make the most of this phrasebook … Anyone can speak another language! It’s all about confidence. Don’t worry if you can’t remember your school language lessons or if you’ve never learnt a language before. Even if you learn the very basics (on the inside covers of this book), your travel experience will be the better for it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain when the locals hear you making an effort.

MAKE THE MO S T O F THI S PHR ASE BO O K

finding things in this book For easy navigation, this book is in sections. The Basics chapters are the ones you’ll thumb through time and again. The Practical section covers basic travel situations like catching transport and finding a bed. The Social section gives you conversational phrases, pick-up lines, the ability to express opinions – so you can get to know people. Food has a section all of its own: gourmets and vegetarians are covered and local dishes feature. Safe Travel equips you with health and police phrases, just in case. Remember the colours of each section and you’ll find everything easily; or use the comprehensive Index. Otherwise, check the two-way traveller’s Dictionary for the word you need.

being understood Throughout this book you’ll see coloured phrases on each page. They’re phonetic guides to help you pronounce the language. You don’t even need to look at the language itself, but you’ll get used to the way we’ve represented particular sounds. The pronunciation chapter in Basics will explain more, but you can feel confident that if you read the coloured phrase slowly, you’ll be understood.

communication tips Body language, ways of doing things, sense of humour – all have a role to play in every culture. ‘Local talk’ boxes show you common ways of saying things, or everyday language to drop into conversation. ‘Listen for …’ boxes supply the phrases you may hear. They start with the phonetic guide (because you’ll hear it before you know what’s being said) and then lead in to the language and the English translation.

ABOUT HEBREW

introduction

‫הקדמה‬

1-about-pb-heb4.indd -about-pb-heb4.indd 9

introduction

Hebrew is one of the world’s oldest languages and is the principal language of the State of Israel. Although the modern Hebrew language was developed over the past century, it’s spoken and written in much the same way as the ancient Hebrew language of the Bible more than 3000 years ago. Hebrew is a Semitic language related to Arabic. It was spoken during the migration of the ancient Hebrews into the Land of Canaan (the Holy Land) and by the Israelites during the Old Testament period. The language declined and then ceased to be spoken around BC 250. At this time, Aramaic, the lingua franca of the Middle East, which was spoken by Jesus of Nazereth, gained supremacy. Unlike the spoken language, written Hebrew has continuously served as the language of religious, scholarly and interpersonal communication within and among Jewish communities throughout the world. Israelis attribute great respect to a single individual for Hebrew’s revitalisation – Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. In the late 19th century, Jewish spoken communication throughout the world was divided between the Ladino language of Sephardic Jews living in North Africa, Spain, the Middle East and Turkey (a Sephardic Jew is a person from the Oriental Jewish community), and the Yiddish language of Ashkenazi Jews (European Jews) living in Northern and Eastern Europe. Although the two languages were both written in the Hebrew alphabet, they were mutually unintelligible, with Ladino resembling Spanish and Yiddish being related to German. In an attempt to unify Jews around the world by bridging this barrier, Ben-Yehuda and others devoted their lives to reviving Hebrew as a spoken language. They introduced thou-

sands of modern words based on biblical Hebrew, and their efforts proved a great success. Spoken Hebrew gained popularity among Jewish settlers in Palestine, and became one of the official languages of Israel, along with Arabic, on its independence in 1948. Today, more than five million people speak Hebrew. Several years ago, Ben-Yehuda’s grave was desecrated by graffiti written in Hebrew. While the nation was outraged, his family declared the graffiti proved Ben-Yehuda’s ultimate victory, for it was written in Hebrew and not in the Yiddish or Ladino languages. Modern Hebrew is a combination of Biblical Hebrew blended with the religious and scholarly Hebrew used in written communication for nearly 2000 years. Over the past two or three generations, thousands of new words have been created to accommodate science, technology, politics and literature. Many words and expressions have developed through borrowings from Arabic. But the revitalised Modern Hebrew language is so true to that used in the Bible, that readers of modern Israeli newspapers, books and journals are able to read biblical Hebrew fluently. The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, with five of these letters changing their form when at the end of a word. The script is written from right to left, which some attribute to the ease of chiselling a scone from right to left by right-handed people. The structure of the language is fairly easy to understand, because each word is made up of a root consisting of three consonants. A word changes its meaning by changing the vowels associated with that word, or by adding prefixes and suffixes to the word. The Hebrew vowel system that uses small dots and dashes inside, above and below consonants (nikud) isn’t used in daily practice in Israel, and isn’t used in this book. This system was developed in about the AD 8th century, and is still used today in prayer books, poetry, texts for foreigners and children’s books. Vowels are a difficult feature of Hebrew, because they’re omitted from words written on posters, street signs, newspapers and books. If you can make out that a sign reading ‘BNK’ is

about a ‘bank’, there’s no need to add the ‘a’. By sounding out billboards and street signs, you’ll gradually get the hang of it. Although many Israelis speak English, nearly all Israelis speak Hebrew. Most immigrants to Israel learn Hebrew quickly in an intensive language centre called ulpan, where tourists can also study. Although Hebrew is the common language, the linguistic diversity of Israel is extremely broad. Each Israeli city or town represents one of the various waves of immigration to Israel. In a single town, you might find people from Poland, Morocco and Argentina, and in another emigrants from Ethiopia, Russia and Uzbekistan. So, if you speak languages other than English, such as French, Russian, Spanish or Chinese, you might seek out these immigrant communities to learn of their history. Most Israelis will be pleased to speak with you in Hebrew, but if you can’t get your meaning across with words, the Israelis are masters of gesture and body language. Most Israelis openly discuss personal matters, but there are also many touchy subjects you’ll need to be sensitive about. It’s important to acknowledge that the Arab-Israeli conflict has been a tragedy on all sides. The issues involved in the lives of Muslim and Christian Arabs of lsraeli citizenship, and of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, are extremely complex. Jerusalem itself, with its mixture of traditional Arab and orthodox Jewish neighbourhoods, and their tense coexistence with secular modernist pans of the city, seems to reflect all the sensitive issues in Israel. This said, Israelis love to debate Israeli and international affairs. So don’t be surprised if total strangers engage you in heated discussion while you wait for a bus or for a shawarma (doner kebab) at a falafel stand.

A BOUT HE BRE W

It’s true – anyone can speak another language. Don’t worry if you haven’t studied languages before, or that you studied a language at school for years and can’t remember any of it. It doesn’t even matter if you failed English grammar. After all, that’s never affected your ability to speak English! And this is the key to picking up a language in another country. You just need to start speaking. When you start, you’ll be amazed at how many prompts you’ll get to help you build on those first words. You’ll hear people speaking, pick up sounds from TV, catch a word or two you know from the local radio – all these things help to build your understanding. Since Hebrew is a gendered language, and since the phrases in this book are intended to be used in everyday situations, we have devised a system whereby the same phrase can be properly used by a female speaker and a male speaker. The masculine and feminine forms are sometimes presented by giving the feminine suffix in brackets after the masculine form. to speak

medaber (m) medaberet (f) presented in this book as medaber(et)

For words in which the masculine and feminine forms differ in the use of vowels, the whole word is provided for both genders. I need assistance. ani tsarikh (tsrikha) ezra

On some occasions, especially when the pronoun ‘you’ is involved and there’s a risk of confusion, two full sentences are quoted. Do you have a cigarette? yesh lekha sigariya? (m) yesh lakh sigariya? (f) You’ll notice that sometimes the masculine and feminine forms in the Hebrew script are identical; this is one of the benefits of having a script without embedded vowels. For example, the consonants for lekha and lakh are identical, and the speaker/reader is required to choose the appropriate form, depending on the context.

introduction

There’s just one thing you need to start speaking another language – courage. Your biggest hurdle is overcoming the fear of saying aloud what may seem to you to be just a bunch of sounds. There are a few ways to do this. Firstly, think of some Hebrew words or phrases you are familiar with, such as ‘shalom’ or ‘kibbutz’. From these basic beginnings you can start making sentences. Don’t worry that you’re not getting a whole sentence right first time. People will understand if you stick to the keyword. And you’ll find that, once you’re in the country, it won’t take long to remember the complete sentence. The best way to start overcoming your fear is to memorise a few keywords. These are the words you know you’ll be saying again and again, like ‘hello’, ‘thank you’ and ‘how much?’ Here’s an important hint though – right from the beginning, learn at least one phrase that will be useful but not essential. Such as ‘good morning’ or ‘good afternoon’, ‘see you later’ or even a conversational piece like ‘lovely day, isn’t it?’ or ‘it’s cold today’ (people everywhere love to talk about the weather). Having this extra phrase (just start with one, if you like, and learn to say it really well) will help you move away from the basics, and when you get a reply and a smile, it’ll also boost your

13

16/12/2019 10:11:45 AM

confidence. You’ll find that people you speak to will like it, too. They’ll appreciate that you’ve tried to learn more of the language than just the usual essential words.

ways to remember There are several ways to learn a language. Most people find they learn from a variety of these, although people usually have a preferred way to remember. Some like to see the written word and remember the sound from what they see. Some like to just hear it spoken in context (if this is you, try calking to yourself in Hebrew). Others, especially the more mathematically inclined, like to analyse the grammar of a language and piece together words according to the rules of the grammar. Those who are visually inclined like to associate the written word, and even sounds, with some visual stimulus, such as from illustrations, TV and general things they see in the street. As you learn, you’ll discover what works best for you – be aware of what made you really remember a particular word and keep using that method.

A BOUT HE BRE W

kicking off Chances are you’ll want to learn some of the language before you go. So you won’t be hearing it around you. The first thing to do is to memorise chose essential phrases and words. Check out the basics (p55) ... and don’t forget that extra phrase (see Plunge In!). Try the sections on Greetings or First Encounters in the chapter on Meeting People (pages 103 and 104) for a phrase you’d like to use. Write down some of these words and phrases and stick them up around the place – on the fridge, by the bed, on your computer, as a bookmark – somewhere where you’ll see them often. Try putting some words in context – the ‘How much is it?’ note, for instance, could go in your wallet.

building the picture We include a grammar chapter in our books for two main reasons. Firstly, some people have an aptitude for grammar

14

1-about-pb-heb4.indd -about-pb-heb4.indd 14

16/12/2019 10:11:45 AM

and find understanding it a key tool in their learning. If you’re such a person, then the grammar chapter in this phrasebook will help you build a picture of the language, since it works through all the basics. The second reason for the grammar chapter is that it gives answers to questions you might raise as you hear or memorise some key phrases. You may find a particular word is always used when there is a question – check out the section Questions in the Grammar chapter. You don’t have to read the grammar chapter from start to finish, nor do you need to memorise a grammatical point. It will simply present itself to you in the course of your learning. Key grammatical points are repeated throughout the book.

any questions? Try to learn the main question words (see p50). As you read through different situations, you’ll see these words used in the example sentences, and this will help you remember them. So, if you want to hire a bicycle, turn to the Bicycles section in Getting Around (use the Contents or Index to find it quickly). You’ll see the words for ‘where’ and ‘bicycle’ a number of times in this book. When you come across the sentence ‘Where can I hire a bicycle?’, you’ll recognise the key words which will help you remember the whole phrase. If there’s no category for what you want, try the dictionary (the question words are repeated there too, with examples), and memorise the phrase ‘How do you say …?’ (p56).

i’ve got a flat tyre

1-about-pb-heb4.indd -about-pb-heb4.indd 15

introduction

Doesn’t seem like the phrase you’re going to need? Well, in fact it could be very useful, as are all the phrases in this book, provided you have the courage to mix and match them. We have given specific examples within each section. But the key words remain the same even when the situation changes. So, while you may not be planning on any cycling during your trip, the first part of the phrase ‘I’ve got …’ could refer to anything else, and there are plenty of words in the dictionary that, we hope, will fit your needs. So, whether it’s ‘a ticket’, ‘a visa’ or ‘a

15

16/12/2019 10:11:45 AM

condom’, you’ll be able to put the words together to convey your meaning.

finally

A BOUT HE BRE W

Don’t be concerned if you feel you can’t memorise words. On the inside front and back covers are the most essential words and phrases you’ll need. You could also try tagging a few pages for other key phrases or use the notes pages to write your own reminders.

Pronunciation ‫הגייה‬ The Hebrew alphabet has only 22 letters – all of them consonants. Hebrew does have a vowel system, nikud, but it isn’t embedded in the alphabet. These vowels consist of fixed symbols, dots and strokes, and a few combinations of both, to represent the five traditional vowels of ‘a, e, i, o, u’. The Hebrew vowel system is mobile – the symbols, dots and strokes can be added above, under and inside the printed word - bur it can also be omitted. Nowadays children are taught to read and write without the help of nikud. The nikud system has not been used in this book. Instead, an English-based transliteration system has been provided to help you use Hebrew in everyday situations. It should also be helpful should you decide to undertake an in-depth study of the Hebrew language. Most consonants used in the transliteration system sound the same as in English. Some words may seem difficult to pronounce at first, as consonants aren’t always followed by a vowel, and words like kvutsa, efshar, ashkelon and meshalshel may take some practice.

pr o n un ci at io n

The Hebrew language contains all the consonant sounds of English, except the letter ‘w’. When a foreign word with the ‘w’ sound needs to be transcribed into Hebrew, two vav letters are used. In early times, the Hebrew alphabet didn’t provide for sounds such as the ‘eh’ in ‘check’, the ‘g’ in ‘George’ and the ‘j’ in ‘Rio de Janeiro’. Today these sounds are created by adding the symbol ‘‘’ after tsadi, gimel and zayin respectively. Some consonants may include a vowel ‘inside’ the letter – this vowel is represented by a dot, and is called dagesh. The dagesh has a phonetic impact on three consonants – the ‫ב‬ bet, ‫ כ‬kaf and D pe. Without the dagesh, these consonants are pronounced vet, khaf and fe. When you encounter these letters in a word, you can’t be sure of their pronunciation, unless they appear at the end of a word, when they’ll always be soft, without a dagesh.

pronunciation hints

‫איך להגות נכון‬ The letter ‫ ה‬heh is aspirated, as in the ‘h’ in ‘hot’. This ‘h’ sound is vastly different from the ‘kh’ sound of ‫ ח‬khet and ‫ כ‬khaf. Some Israelis often pronounce ‫ ה‬heh with a tremendous burst of air, while many pronounce it like the ‘h’ in ‘hotel’. Both letters ‫ ח‬khet and ‫ כ‬khaf are pronounced as the guttural ‘ch’ sound in the German ‘Bach’. It can take a while to get used to the transliteration system. At first, you’ll probably be inclined to pronounce more (teacher) as in ‘more red wine’ and nose (topic) as in ‘my nose is bleeding’. But these words each have two syllables and should be said as mo-re and no-se respectively. Also, when two vowels follow each other but are part of different syllables, they’re separated by the symbol ‘’. Thus, me’il (overcoat) is pronounced me-il and not ‘meil’, and me’al (above) should be read as me-al and not as ‘meal’.

stress

A BOUT HE BRE W

In Hebrew, stress is usually on the last syllable (as in Israel), or on the second last (as in Yerushalaim). In words borrowed from other languages, stress is usually placed on the first syllable (as in telephone). For some homonyms, differences in meaning are conveyed by stress. BIra biRA

When a syllable which ends with a consonant is followed by one that begins with a vowel, the symbol ‘‘’ is used to separate the syllables. Thus, lir’ot is ‘to see’, while lirot means ‘to shoot’. Mad’ei means ‘science (of)’ but madei is ‘uniform (of)’.

Grammar ‫ניקוד‬ Although the grammar of Hebrew differs in structure from English, it’s fairly easy to grasp. Each verb and most nouns are systematically based on a root consisting (in most cases) of three consonants, upon which all variations in meanings are based. However, there are a few aspects of Hebrew grammar that are difficult at first. For example, there are two genders masculine and feminine. Furthermore, while there are only three major tenses of verbs, verbs fall within one of seven different forms of conjugation. The following description of Hebrew grammar is intended to serve as a basic guide to help you understand the sentences in this phrasebook, and cover most major points of grammar.

word order ‫סדר המילים במשפטים‬ In the basic Modern Hebrew sentence, the subject comes before the verb. As in English, word order is Subject-Verb-Object. Subject-Verb-Object Joseph eats falafel. yosef okhel falafel Subject-Adjective Joseph’s fat. yosef shamen Subject-Adverb Joseph’s here. yosef po

gr a m m a r

In present tense sentences which do not contain a verb (and are therefore called nominal sentences) but in which the noun is followed by an adjective, Hebrew commonly omits the verb ‘to be’ between the noun and the adjective. In these sentences, the adjective agrees in number and gender with the subject. One can say that the mere act of naming the subject, be it a personal pronoun, a proper name, or an object, is the evidence of the existence of that subject.

‫הא הידיעה‬

The definite article ‘the’ in Hebrew is ha in both the singular and plural and for both masculine and feminine genders. The article ha can precede nouns, adjectives and verbs. The placement of ha affects the meaning of a sentence. good student (f) the good student (f) the student is good (f) tasty falafel

When the definite article ha is preceded by either the preposition le (‘to’ and ‘for’) or the preposition be (‘at’, ‘in’ or ‘by means of’), they’re consolidated into one article. This article consists of the consonant of the preposition together with the vowel a of the definite article to form la and ba. He goes to an ulpan.

Although there are no words in Hebrew for the indefinite articles ‘a’, and ‘an’, they’re indicated by the absence of ha in front of the noun. He writes a letter. He writes letters.

Most verbs in Hebrew are followed by prepositions. Their function is to indicate the relationship that binds the verb with the noun that follows it. Most prepositions are composed of one letter and are directly attached to the word they precede without a visible separation. (This is also the strategy that has been adopted in the transliteration of the words and phrases throughout this phrasebook.) Some other prepositions are independent words that are separated from the verb which precedes them and the noun that follows them. However, in the following examples, and for the sake of demonstration only, the prepositions are marked by a hyphen. The most common prepositions in spoken Hebrew are le-, be-, mi- (min) and et.

The pronunciation of le- may vary and become li- or la-, depending on the vowel in the first syllable of the word it precedes. We go to the match today.

The preposition be- expresses either ‘at’, ‘in’ or ‘by means of’. The pronunciation of be- varies similarly to that of le-.

In English, these four actions require three different prepositions – ‘on’, ‘with’ and ‘by’ or no preposition at all. In Hebrew they are all expressed by be-, ‘by means of’. The preposition mi- signifies origin (from). It can also be expressed as min.

The particle et is a special Hebrew feature that doesn’t have an equivalent in English. The particle et links the verb of the sentence and its direct object, when it is definite. When the object is not definite, the particle et isn’t used. Peter reads a book. Peter reads the book. Etti drinks champagne. Etti drinks the champagne from France.

nouns

‫שמות עצם‬

A BOUT HE BRE W

gender Hebrew nouns are classified as either feminine or masculine, even though this gender division often isn’t related to the ‘maleness’ or ‘femaleness’ of the object. For example, ‘sun’ is feminine and ‘moon’ is masculine, the opposite of the case in French. In general, the distinction between masculine and feminine nouns, when they don’t belong to the ‘irregular elite’, is pretty straightforward. Feminine nouns often end with the open syllable -a or with the consonant -t. Those ending in -a are stressed on the last syllable, as with glida, mita, ashpa, gluya and magevet, while the stress of nouns ending in -t, as in mekhonit, akhot, ta’ut is on the second last syllable. The names of towns, cities and countries are always feminine. Masculine nouns usually end with a closed consonant sound – yeled, sefer, sakin, ba’it. Verbs and adjectives rake the same gender as the noun they modify. If you remember these rules, you’re likely to identify nouns correctly and make few mistakes.

26

1-about-pb-heb4.indd -about-pb-heb4.indd 26

16/12/2019 10:11:45 AM

plurals Masculine nouns are pluralised by adding the suffix -im to the noun, which usually undergoes some pronunciation modifications – sefer becomes sfarim, ba’it becomes batim and yeled becomes yeladim. Yet, there are some irregular masculine nouns which take the feminine suffix when plural – shulkhan (table) becomes shulkhan-ot (tables) and kise (chair) becomes kis’-ot (chairs). This, however, doesn’t affect their gender, and when an adjective is attached to the noun, it agrees with the original gender of the noun, regardless of its plural suffix. beautiful table beautiful tables

shulkhan yafe shulkhan-ot yaf-im

The plural of the feminine noun is achieved by dropping the -a sound of the last syllable and replacing it with the suffix -ot. Mita becomes mit-ot, glida becomes glid-ot and gluya becomes gluy-ot. When a feminine noun ends with t, the t usually becomes yot in the plural. Thus, mekhonit becomes mekhoniyot, akhot becomes akha-yot and ta’ut becomes ta’u-yot. Exceptions to these rules have to be memorised, and Israelis will be sure to correct you when you use the wrong form. Since many immigrant Israelis are still in the process of learning Hebrew, it becomes second nature to correct anyone who’s also learning Hebrew. Don’t feel self-conscious when this happens to you – children of immigrants frequently correct their parents, as do friends.

Hebrew verbs have three major tenses – past, present and future. There’s also an imperative form (used for requests or orders) and an infinitive form (to ...). Hebrew verbs have two special characteristics. Firstly, they’ re based on a root, shoresh, mainly composed of three consonants, though in some rare cases it may include four letters. The image of the root is appropriate – underground and hidden from the naked eye. Nevertheless, it’s

33

16/12/2019 10:11:46 AM

the root that breathes life into the whole tree. Similarly, the grammatical root sustains the whole structure of the Hebrew language, giving it logic and form. Secondly, each verb falls within one of seven patterns of conjugation, called binyanim (constructions), which provide verbs with their actual meanings.

verb roots In Hebrew, all verbs – and many adjectives and nouns – are based on patterns of consonants known as ‘roots’. These roots form a structure or skeleton upon which verbs of related meanings are constructed. The roots impose an extremely logical system of conjugation patterns for verbs to follow. Taken alone, the root isn’t a word (it can be distinguished from any three-letter word by the dots that are interposed between its three letters) and doesn’t have a meaning by itself. The meaning is obtained when the root is conjugated according to one of the seven conjugation patterns that give nuances of meaning to the verb root. For example, the three-letter root L.M.D. may acquire the following meanings when conjugated:

A BOUT HE BRE W

lomed melamed nilmad mitlamed

he studies he teaches it is being studied/taught he is becoming specialised

In this example, all four forms produce meaningful words that are related to studying and teaching. For most roots, the different conjugation patterns will produce associated meanings. However, there are some roots for which different conjugation patterns create unrelated meanings. Take the root S.P.R., for example: mesaper nispar mistaper mesupar

he tells a story he cuts somebody’s hair it’s being counted he’s having a haircut it’s being told

Using the same root to form nouns, we get: sapar sipur mispar safran

There’s no doubt a reason for the cohabitation of these three unrelated meanings within one root, but it isn’t evident to the average Hebrew speaker. When homonyms appear in printed texts, the context determines the meaning and pronunciation of a word. Theoretically, every root can be conjugated in all seven patterns. Yet, not all of these patterns are expected to yield meaningful verbs. In fact, most roots are conjugated in part of the binyanim only.

A BOUT HE BRE W

verb patterns – binyanim Though based on logical patterns, the verb binyan system is fairly complex, owing to the existence of two categories of verbs – regular verbs, shlemim (complete) and irregular verbs. While the conjugation of shlemim is easy and adheres to the basic rules of the binyan, irregular verbs require modifications of the rules. Irregular verbs have roots which are made up of one or more of eight letters – the five guttural consonants (alef, he, khet, ayin, resh), and yod, vav and nun. When they appear in certain positions in the root, and in some conjugation patterns, these letters do not follow the regular behaviour of their binyan. Every verb follows one of seven verb patterns. To label these patterns, Hebrew uses the letters Pe, Ayin and Lamed, which, when put together, form the word po’al (verb). These conjugation patterns are grouped in three sets of grammatical pairs, each containing an active form and a passive form. There are four active binyanim and three passive ones. In the first pattern, Pa’AL (aka Kal, namely ‘easy’, since it’s considered the simplest pattern among the seven verb patterns) the three-letter root G.N.V. becomes GaNaV in the past

tense and means ‘(he) stole’. The passive of this binyan, niF’AL, is formed by adding the syllable ni in front of G.N.V. root and changing the vowels of the three letters, to get niGNaV ‘was stolen’. For the active pattern, hiF’IL, the root S.B.R. in the past tense, hiSBiR, means ‘(he) explained’. The same root in the passive pattern huF’AL, becomes huSSaR (was explained). The active pattern Pi’EL of KHiLeK (he handed out) becomes KHuLaK in the passive Pu’AL pattern, to mean ‘was handed out’. The final binyan hitPa’EL is an active pattern which comprises three verbal relationships – reciprocal, reflexive and passive.

The Hebrew infinitive corresponds to English ‘to …’, as in ‘I want to …’ and ‘It’s difficult to …’. All infinitives in Hebrew are prefixed by le- (or its modified forms, li- or la-), such as le’EHoV (to love), liRKoD (to dance) and laAMoD (to stand up). The most frequent use of the infinitive is in phrases when two verbs, related to one subject, follow each other, the first often being a verb expressing motion or an ability. In such cases, the first verb is conjugated and the second is in the infinitive. I can speak four languages. Who wants to go to the toilet?

ani yode’a ledaber arba safot (lit: I can speak four languages) mi rotse lalekhet lasherutim? (lit: who wants to-go to-toilet)

The infinitive never changes form, regardless of the tense used, or the gender or number of people you’re speaking to. The infinitive is also used when making a command.

present tense The present tense is similar to that of English ‘I eat’ and ‘I am eating’. There are singular and plural forms in the present tense for both masculine and feminine. Thus, I (f), you (f) and she all use the same form of the verb. I/you/she study/studies Hebrew. ani/at/hi lomedet ivrit

A BOUT HE BRE W

Likewise, we (m), you (m) and they (m) all use the same form of verb. We/you/they are dancing Tango.

anakhnu/atem/hem rokdim tango

The same goes for the use of masculine singular and feminine plural. The multiple function of each verb form requires us to specify who is performing the action. Thus, medabrot batelefon (f, pl), ‘speaking on the phone’, is an incomplete sentence. Who’s on the phone? Is it us? You? Them? The basic form for all conjugations is the masculine form of the verb in third-person singular. Various suffixes are then added

to create the other forms of the verb. This occurs not only for the present tense, but for past and future tenses as well. All present tense verbs employ the same suffixes used for nouns and adjectives to mark gender and number. The suffix -im is added to create masculine plural forms, -a or -t are added to feminine singular forms, and -ot is added to feminine plural forms.

past tense

1-about-pb-heb4.indd -about-pb-heb4.indd 39

i n t rgr o daumc tmi oanr

The Hebrew past tense covers four past tenses found in English – ‘I ate’, ‘I have eaten’, ‘I was eating’ and ‘I had eaten’. Each verb has nine forms when conjugated in the past tense. These correspond to nine of the 10 Hebrew personal pronouns – the third-person plural feminine and masculine share the same form. A verb in the past tense can be viewed as having two components. The first is the verbal stem, which marks the past tense and is derived from the third person masculine singular of the past tense, with some phonetic modifications. The second component is a suffix which indicates the person who performed the action. Luckily, these suffixes are identical for all verbs, regular and irregular alike, and for all binyanim. They

are easy to remember because, with the exception of the third person (singular and plural), they’re associated with the pronoun of each person of the conjugation. The form of the verb in the past tense includes the subject. past I told you (m) told you (f) told he told she told

to tell (a story) le SaPeR ani siparti we told anakhnu siparnu ata siparta you (m) told atem sipartem at sipart you (f) told aten siparten hu siper they (m/f) told hem/hen sipru hi sipra

Hence, karati (I read) is a complete sentence including subject and verb – kara + ti (read + I). You could also say ani karati and it would be grammatically correct, but the addition of the pronoun ani burdens the sentence with redundancy. It can be useful, however for emphasis. If somebody asks you in disbelief at karat? (have you read?), you can answer emphatically ani karati (I have read). The exception is the third person singular and plural, that always require a pronoun.

future tense The future tense in Hebrew is similar to the future tense in English. For every verb, there are eight forms in the future tense. There are five for the singular and three for the plural – first, second and third person, without a distinction between the masculine and feminine forms. The verb in the future tense has two elements – a subject pronoun prefix (and suffix for some) and the future-tense verb stem. As with the past tense, the prefixes and the suffixes are identical for all the roots and for all the binyanim. What is com-

imperatives

Modern Hebrew has both negative and positive imperative tenses. Positive requests use the imperative tense. The form of the imperative verb depends on the conjugation pattern (binyan) of the verb and there are only three forms for it. When a command is made to a male, the verb takes no suffix, but if made to a female, the verb takes the suffix -i. When a command is made to more than one person, male or female, the suffix -u is added to the verb. While most verbs aren’t often used in the imperative, many are quite common in colloquial speech. Imperative form of the verb lava, ‘to come’

negative imperatives There are two types of negative imperatives. First, there are fixed requests, addressed to an anonymous public (as in ‘Do not park on this side of the street’). This form of imperative is made by prefixing the negative particle lo to the infinitive form of the verb. Do not speak during the concert! Careful, don’t run! Electricity. Do not touch!

lo ledaber bizman hakontsert! (lit: not to-speak in-time of-the-concert) zehirut, lo laruts! (lit: careful not to-run) khashmal lo laga’at! (lit: electricity no to-touch)

The second type of negative imperative is a request or order addressed to a particular individual in a particular situation (as in ‘Don’t drink any more!’ or ‘Don’t walk, run!’). This form is created by putting the negative particle al before the future tense of the verb. Don’t speak English! (m)

‫להיות‬

Sentences in English that require a form of the verb ‘to be’ don’t always need this verb in Hebrew. Instead, they’re made up of simple noun-adjective constructions.

They are strange.

hem muzarim (lit: they strange) haifa yafa (lit: Haifa beautiful)

Haifa is beautiful.

However, in sentences where the subject or object is made up of more than a single word or comprises a clause, a thirdperson pronoun (which agrees with the gender and number of the subject) may be placed between the subject and the predicate. My father is an excellent lawyer. The opera singer that sang all night is my friend.

avi hu orekh-din metsuyan (lit: my-father hu lawyer excellent) zameret haopera sheshara kol halaila hi khavera sheli (lit: singer the-opera that-sang all the-night hi friend mine)

‫יש‬

to have To express ‘to have’, the verbal construction yesh le- is used, literally meaning ‘there is to (someone or something)’. I have a dog

yesh li kelev (lit: there-is to-me dog)

Yesh is never conjugated, but the particle le- is when the possessor is expressed by means of a personal pronoun and not by a proper name. Sentences using proper names such as ‘Dana has a Volvo’ are written with the le- placed before the name. (lit: to-Dana there-is Volvo)

To express that something is lacking, the construction ein le-, meaning literally ‘there is/are not to (someone or something)’, is used. He doesn’t have a girlfriend. ein lo khavera

A BOUT HE BRE W

In the past and future tenses, the past and future forms of the verb ‘to be’, liheyot, replace yesh. In both tenses, the form of the verb should be in agreement with the gender and number of the possessed object. Thus, only three forms are used – masculine singular, feminine singular and plural. The pasttense forms are haya, hayta and hayu. The future tense forms are yiheye, tiheye and iheyu. I had a nice car.

hayta li mekhonit yafa (lit: had to-me car nice)

Mekhonit (car) is a feminine noun in Hebrew, and therefore determines the form of the past tense. Changing the possessor to he, we (masculine or feminine) and so on, will merely result in the change of the conjugated particle le-. He had a nice car. She had a nice car. They (m) had a nice car.

We will have a pleasant Sabbath. You (m) will have many stories.

Both expressions – yesh and ein – can be used independently without the preposition le. Yesh (there is/are) and ein (there isn’t/aren’t), when used in impersonal sentences, express general truths or facts. There’s a blender on the table. There are Chinese restaurants in Israel. There isn’t any good wine in the supermarket. There aren’t any cows in the kibbutz.

To express ‘must’, ‘need to’ and ‘have to’ in the past or future tenses, the participle tsarikh is preceded by an appropriate conjugation of the verb ‘to be’. I (m) needed to buy coffee. She needed an elegant dress. You (m/pl) needed a jeep. You (f/pl) had to buy a film.

Two ways are frequently used to express ‘to like’. Israelis commonly use the verb le’ehov (to love), as in ani ohev le’ekhol falafel beshabar (I like eating falafel on Saturday) or hem me’od ohavim glida (They love ice-cream very much). The same verb serves to express love relationships.

When the object is an infinitive, it follows it. We like living. motse khen be’einenu lagur in a kibbutz bekibuts (lit: it-finds grace in-our-eyes to-live in-kibbutz)

possession

‫שייכות‬

Possession is frequently expressed by the particle shel, meaning ‘of’. In the sentence hasefer shel harav (lit: the-book of therabbi), notice that shel comes after the thing possessed and before the possessor. The object possessed is preceded by the definite article ha-.

possessive suffixes All nouns can be conjugated with the possessive suffixes, but possessive suffixes are essentially used in spoken Hebrew with kin terms such as aba (father), ima (mother), akh (brother), akhot (sister), horim (parents), and so on. Possession can also be expressed by shel. possessive pronouns my your his/her our your their

questions

‫שאלות‬ When forming a question to be answered with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’, the word order of the sentence remains the same as a declarative sentence, and the question is indicated by rising intonation on the last word of the sentence. Is he Israeli? Yes, he’s Israeli. No, he’s not Israeli.

Unlike in English, the word order in the sentence isn’t modified. Who knows? Yoram knows. What’s new? Nothing’s new. When did he come? He came yesterday. What did she say?

mi yode’a? yoram yode’a ma khadash? ein khadash matai hu ba? hu ba etmol ma hi amra?

Questions can begin with the word ha’im, giving the sense of ‘is it that ...?’. Will there be a lot of people there?

Is everybody here?

ha’im iheyu sham harbe anashim? (lit: is-it-that will-be there many people) ha’im kulam po? (lit: is-it-that everybody here?)

Another favourite way of asking a question is by adding the word nakhon, meaning ‘isn’t that right?’, at the end of a sentence. All Israelis speak Hebrew, right?

Several other words can be used to indicate the negative. When combined with lo, the word af, meaning ‘not even, not also’, followed by a singular noun, forms a double negative. Not a single person came. Nobody speaks like Assaf.

af ekhad lo ba (lit: not-even one not came) af ekhad lo medaber kmo asaf (lit: not-even one not speak like Assaf)

In Hebrew, it’s possible to have complete sentences which don’t have subjects. These are usually sentences in which facts that are common knowledge are being stated, such as ‘In Israel people speak Hebrew’. In English, the subject ‘people’ would be necessary, while in Hebrew, it can be omitted. The sentence would be belsrael medabrim ivrit (lit: in-Israel speaking Hebrew). Likewise, ‘In Italy people eat a lot of pasta’. This statement is equally true. When one longs for a delicious pasta dish, one should preferably travel to Italy and not to London.

53

16/12/2019 10:11:47 AM

Again, English cannot do without the subject ‘people’, while Hebrew can dispense with it – beltalia okhlim harbe pasta (lit: in-ltaly eating much pasta). As well as the absence of a subject in the sentence, the mark of the impersonal form is the masculine plural form of the verb – in this case medabrim and okhlim. For example, the sentence:

A BOUT HE BRE W

How do you do this in your country?

eikh osim zot etzlekhem? (lit: how doing this at-yourplace?)

would have forced us to write four possible sentences – two for the singular and two for the plural, depending on the number and gender of ‘you’. By choosing to use the impersonal, this phrasebook is considerably simplified. The phrase ‘how do you say …?’ will simply be expressed by eikh omrim … (lit: how saying …). Another important variant of the impersonal is formed by replacing the verb ‘can’ with the expression efshar (it’s possible). The verb ‘can’ always requires a subject. A polite phrase, such as ‘Can we use the phone?’ has two possible translations, one for ‘we’ feminine and one for ‘we’ masculine. Instead, efshar letsaltsel? (lit: is-it-possible to-phone?) is much shorter, easier and as polite, especially if you add bevakasha (please). The considerate question, ‘Do you mind if I smoke?’ has eight possible phrases if you insist upon manners! In comparison, efshar le’ashen? (lit: is-it-possible to-smoke?) makes you feel almost fluent! Sentences like these abound in this phrasebook. Whenever possible, the impersonal efshar is used instead of yakhol. However, in sentences where there’s no escape from using ‘you’ or ‘I’, both the masculine and feminine, as well as the plural, are given.

ordinal numbers

two friends two friends

‫מספרים סידוריים‬

Like cardinal numbers, ordinal numbers have both masculine and feminine forms. They’re formed by changing the suffix of the masculine cardinal number to -i, and changing the vowel of the second-last syllable to i. To get the feminine form, the suffix -t is added.

The numbers ‘1st’, ‘2nd’ and ‘4th’ are formed differently from other ordinals. The masculine form of rhe number ‘one’, ekhad, becomes rishon, and rhe feminine form, akhat, becomes rishona. These words derive from rhe word rosh, meaning ‘head’

(rhe first in line is the ‘head’ of rhe line). The number ‘two’, shna’im (m), becomes sheni, and shra’im (f) becomes shniya. The number four, arba’a, loses its first syllable to become revi’i (m) and revi’it (f). 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

time & dates

Israelis work five or five-and-a-half days a week, with the day of rest, called Shabbat. beginning at sundown on Friday night and ending Saturday when three stars are visible in the night sky. In Israel, all days begin at sundown, but time is still calculated as it is in Western countries. The work day resumes on Sunday, which is called Yom Rishon, ‘the first day’.

telling the time What time is it? ma hasha’a? (It’s) one o’clock. (hasha’a) akhat (It’s) ten o’clock. (hasha’a) eser (It’s) half past one. (hasha’a) akhat vakhetsi (It’s) half past three. (hasha’ a) shalosh vakhetsi

In Israel the week starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday. The week days, Sunday through to Friday, are designated by ordinal numbers – the first day, the second day, the third day and so on. This follows the biblical designation of days as God progressed through the creation of the universe. The name of Shabbat, the only day of the week to be given its own name,

months

B ASI C S

Two calendars are used in Israel - the Gregorian and the Jewish lunar. There are two words in Hebrew to say ‘month’, and both express a close relationship to the moon. The less common word, yerakh, derives from yare’akh (moon), while khodesh derives from the word khadash (new), referring to a new moon. The religious calendar has traditionally associated the beginning of the month with the observation of the crescent of the new moon. However, the Jewish calendar is not based on the cyclical movement of the moon only, but is lunisolar – regulated by the movements of both the moon and the sun. The lunar months are of 29 or 30 days each, as compared with the 30 or 31 days of the solar months. The lunar year is adjusted to the solar year by a periodic introduction of leap years, to ensure that major festivals fall in their proper season. The added month is a second month of Adar, and thus in leap years there are Adar I and Adar 2. The names of the months of the Jewish calendar were borrowed from the Babylonians, after their conquest of Jerusalem in BC 587. January February March April May

For religious reasons, the term ‘Anno Domini’ (AD), the year of our Lord, and ‘Before Christ’ (BC) aren’t used in Israel. Instead, the notation CE (Common Era) and BCE (Before the Common Era) are used for the same periods. The Muslim calendar uses ‘AH’ (After hajira, 622 AD) and the Baha’is use ‘BE’ (Baha’i Era 1844).

addresses

‫כתובות‬

Israel’s small population often makes foreigners imagine that all Israelis know each other. However, sending a letter to ‘Ohr Ked em, Givataim’ is likely never to reach the Ohr you’ re writing to. Writing an address on a letter or postcard follows mostly the same practice as in the West. The top line of the address includes (at least) the last name of the addressee. The second line will be the street and number of the house, the apartment number or entrance number (if it’s a large building), followed by the city and area code on the last line:

body language A common Israeli gesture to express ‘I don’t know’ is to stick the bottom lip out, shrug the shoulders and hold the hands at chest height with the palms facing upward. When asking someone to wait a moment, an Israeli might place the thumb, index and middle fingers together and squeeze, with the palm facing up.

arabic Arabic is Israel’s second most widely spoken language, after Hebrew. The Arab population is concentrated mainly in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Clearly, you would need a separate phrasebook for Palestinian Arabic if you were planning to visit Arabic-speaking areas extensively. These two pages should enable you to initiate some communication and any attempts, however unsuccessful, to speak the language are likely to endear you to Arab people.

did you know? The Israeli flag was created at the first Zionist Congress in 1897. Its simple design is a Star of David placed in the centre of a Jewish prayer shawl. The traditional blue colour formerly used in the tassel (tsitsit) of this type of shawl ceased to be used after the destruction of the Second Temple in AD70. Some say the formula for the dye was lost, while others hold that the loss of the blue dye echoes the loss of the Temple. The dye comes from a crustacean and, over the past 30 years, some Jewish sects have begun to dye one of the eight threads again, making up each tassel with this blue colour, to help remind worshippers of the ocean, the horizon, the sky and the sapphire throne of God.

FOOD ‫אוכל‬

According to Judaism, every meal is a religious rite and so has to be kosher , which roughly translated means ‘ritually acceptable’. All fruits and vegetables are permitted, but there are rules about which animals may be consumed, how they must be slaughtered and which parts may be eaten. There is also a rule forbidding the mixing of meat and dairy products. That said, there is a wide variety of cuisines available in Israel, from kosher, vegetarian and Oriental Jewish to Eastern European Jewish and Palestinian. Israel has a delicious selection of breads, including pita, hallah (baked for Shabbat), matza (unleavened bread), bagels and sweet breads. Although tea and coffee are the most popular beverages in Israel, beer, wine and spirits are available in most supermarkets and grocery shops. arukhat boker arukhat tsohora’im arukhat erev

A BOUT FO O D HU NGARI AN

kosher food Kashrut (kosher law) is a system of food classification based on biblical laws. Land animals that are within the kosher classication are those that both chew their cud and have cloven hooves. Kosher animals are killed in a way that drains all the blood from their flesh. Kosher seafood must have both scales and fins. According to kosher rules, meat (‘fleishic’ or baser) can’t be eaten or cooked with milk (‘milchic’ or halavi). Food that’s considered neither milk nor meat, such as eggs and fish, are called porve, ‘neutral’, and can be consumed with either milk or meat. Wine is deemed kosher if only Jews are involved in its production. Kosher wine is so sacred that if a non-Jew looks upon an open bottle, it’s no longer considered to be kosher. To allow non-Jews to consume wine at religious events, the wine is first boiled. Although Israel is known as the ‘land of milk and honey’ (see the Bible, Numbers 14:8), bees, and therefore honey, weren’t always considered kosher. Many biblical scholars believe the term ‘honey’ actually refers to date jam. Over the years, honey was deemed to be kosher, which was a good thing is the phrase ‘the land of milk and date jam’ doesn’t hove the some ring.

International cuisine is very well represented in Israel, particularly in the big cities. Although there’s no ‘national dish’ or typical Israeli cuisine per se, there are many popular dishes and foods, many which are Mediterranean, that taste especially good in Israel.

breakfast Breakfast in Israel is a meal based on dairy products. A common breakfast dish is eggs, prepared your favourite way. eggs with cheese eggs with mushrooms garden salad omelette sunny side up scrambled egg soft boiled egg hard boiled egg

cheeses Israel is a champion in making cream cheeses. Not even in Paris, where cheese is a matter of national pride, will you find such a large, varied, and above all delicious array of cream cheese. The various kinds are grouped under the generic name gvina Levana (white cheese). They differ in taste and in percentage of fat, from half a percent to around 12 per cent. All are simply delicious.

At first, you’ll probably be inclined to pronounce more (teacher) as in ‘more red wine’ and nose (topic) as in ‘my nose is bleeding’. But these words each have two syllables and should be said as mo-re and no-se respectively. Also, when two vowels follow each other but are part of different syllables, they’re separated by the symbol. Thus, me’il (overcoat) is pronounced me-il and not ‘meil’, and me’al (above) should be read as me-al and not as ‘meal’.

DICTIONARY > english–hebrew ENGLISH-HEBREW The consonants in the transliteration of the Hebrew words have the some sound value as they do in English. You may find, however, that some words are a trifle difficult to pronounce, since a consonant is not always followed by a vowel. Words like otsma’i, zkhuyot and shkhokh take some practice. See pages 17-20 for the pronunciation of vowels and consonants. You’ll probably be inclined to pronounce more (teacher) as in ‘have more wine’ and nose (question) as in ‘my nose is bleeding’, but these words in Hebrew have two syllables and should be pronounced as mo-re and no-se respectively, with the ‘e’ pronounced as in ‘karate’. Also, when two vowels follow each other but are pronounced as two different syllables, they are separated by the ‘” symbol. Me’il (overcoat) is pronounced ‘me-il’ and not ‘meil’, and me’al (above) is pronounced ‘me-al’ and not ‘meal’. Good luck!
