I have commented it before, but just have to express again how explicit good this teaching is.

This is, by far, THE cutest teaching about the Dagesh lene, Dagesh forte, and BeGeD KeFaT... (& then some) .. I have ever seen. There is so much to learn and know about Biblical Hebrew. Very well done!

Shalom Tim, your videos are on whole different level. Your instruction is clear concise and well thought out. Much respect to you. Please make more videos! We love them.

שלום אני מהודו. אני לומד עברית. ההוראה שלך ברורה ותרגום לאנגלית. YOur Videos are clear and concise. easy to understand.

This is such a well organized video, the clear structure really makes the explanation memorable.

I have studied Hebrew primers and it's hard enough to write and even harder identify the similar letters that are above or below the (box). I tried to understand the dagesh, and all it's applications, I finally gave up since I couldn't understand. You nailed it, presenting it in an easy-to-understand format, though it is still difficult. Being bilingual myself (Spanish/English) and having studied Russian and German, it resonates especially with the plosive v. spirant but of course one thing is to intellectualize it, but another thing is to put it in context or actual use. I love learning Hebrew. But it's self-study I would love to learn conversational Hebrew, back in 5778 I visited Israel, and I fell in deeper love with both nation and people. Toda raba!

yes. the beged kefet de-spirantization process occurs across several languages and merits its own wikipedia article. v-chica and v-grande in Spanish, the little v--letter/b-(ish) sound at the start of words and the big b.

The concept of the Dagesh is also in the Arabic Language, but it’s called “ shadda “ the name for dagesh in Arabic has a dagesh itself! It can also be found in Kurdish, when they double letters but they don’t substitue it with a symbol, we the Kurdish people used to have a dash on the doubles letter. It’s a very important part of both languages.

Technically, the word דָּגֵשׁ in Hebrew also has a dagesh (lene) in the initial dalet!

As an explanation, Pei, Bet, Vav, Tav, and Kaf have dageshes for pronounciation as of Bet is Vet without a dagesh, Pei is Fei in its final form, and without the dagesh, Vav has 2 prononciations with the dagesh over and in the middle of the letter. Tav has a dagesh but has the same pronounciation, and Kaf is Khaf without the dagesh in the middle. So these letters consisting in this paragraph would never be able to double either as the 5 letters.

Toda raba.

#Thank you very much I am almost mastering hebrew letter the next is to communicate and find friend in israel.

Since Modern Hebrew rules changed the pronunciation of the Hebrew letter Resh to sound something between a French and a German R, it was also decided that a Resh cannot be doubled. Mizrahim, who do roll the Resh, always double that letter when it comes with a Dagesh. Examples are recited on Rosh Hashanah eve: she'yirboo zachiyoteinu ca'RRubia (may our good deeds be numerous as black eyed peas), or Ca'RRimmon (as numerous as pomegranate seeds).

I have a question about why you pronounced the sin as a shin in the first word. Just curious. Otherwise; great video! Do you/will you do any conversation?

זמן: 5:51 : בגלל שישנן אותיות שכיום רוב האנשים (חוץ מהתימנים) אינם מבדילים בהגיה בין הדגושה לרפה - לכן מסדרים את האותיות הדגשות במקום: 'בגד-כפת' (לפי סדר הא'-ב') בסידור אחר: 'בכפ-גדת' ( bakaf gadat )! (השלוש הראשונות - ששומעים את ההבדל והשלוש האחרונות - שאין שומעים את ההבדל!).

Hi Tim, I am studying the Hebrew minyanim of verbs. What books do you recommend I use to make things easy?

Request, please make a song about conjugation of the verb "To Want" (rötzéh)

Mind blowing but useful

Sorry I'm not a native english speaker, not sure which one is consonant. Can you tell more about that? Is that the first three dageshes only affect the sound of it, but the last dagesh that used in heh, it changes its meaning from "she" to "her"?

Shalom, Tim! Thanks a million for your fantastic instruction. :) I'm enjoying Hebrew study! Some questions came to mind during your lesson. Why the double names for the dageshim - lene/kal and forte/chazak? Are they all Hebrew words? Is the word "dagesh" related to "dag" (looks like a little fish swimming inside the letter)? While we're on that word, can you explain why Jonah is inside a "dagah" - a female fish but earlier it was a male - a "dag?" Also, maybe a dagesh question, in my siddur, the word "Shabbat" is sometimes shown as "Shavat" - which seems odd. Wouldn't it be one or the other? Love the games too - it's exciting to get the answers right. :) Thanks again, and blessings to you!

I hope you see this answer: 1. cal in Hebrew means easy, hazak in Hebrew means strong. 2. dagush in Hebrew means full, I guess this is the origin of the word dagesh. 3. According to Jewish tradition, a yuna was first inside a male fish, and then moved into the intestine of a female fish. 4. Shabbat is the seventh day of the week, shavat is the verb to rest, in Hebrew they write the same thing.

Thank you so much for the video, but at 5:32 you made a mistake. Dalet without qal dagesh isn't pronounced that way

I’m new to this, so are you saying that the vowels marks are not used, and the sounds are understood like in paleo/ancient Hebrew?

Hey, man, how long did it take you to learn Hebrew at a conversational level? I'm studying for my M.Div., and I find the Hebrew language much more fascinating than Koine Greek.

Question , if these originally didnt have dots or anything else why was this changed ?

@timmcninch

Жыл бұрын

Due to persecution and the pressures of cultural assimilation, fewer and fewer Jews in the first centuries of the common era spoke Hebrew as a native language (taking the languages of their homes in diaspora). So medieval Jewish scribes developed the dots as a kind of pronunciation code for those who needed a bit of help with the consonants-only text. Dagesh was one of those dots to help clarify oral pronunciation. It helped the language survive for hundreds of years until the revival of Hebrew as a native language in the early 20th century.

This is also what I wondered. Did you find an answer to this? It seems he still pronounces it as mibbet even if the theory just presented just should give mivvet, doubled v (no קל with splosive). From his pronunciation it seems that it got both a doubling and a qal.

Is there a book that has all this information in it?
