Hebrew and Arabic are both Central Semitic languages, meaning that they're about as closely related as English and German. So much shared culture, it's a shame that they hate each other so...

[@BlackBeardPRO]

we don't hate Jews at all , we hate Zionist , we lived with Jews an our countries for thousands of years without any problems , in Iraq , Yemen , Tunisia , Morocco and Libya and there still a lot of Jews there specially in Yemen. and they also speak Arabic. But when the Europeans expulsion the Europeans Jews from Europe they gave them our land Palestine as a new home for them. at the beginning we had no problem with them because they were as guests in our lands. We sold them houses and lands and let them build their own towns. But after that they created militias and killed thousands of Arabs and dominated the Arabian towns and cities and that was with help of UK army. It's not shame that we hate them , The shame is what they did and do for us after we let them live among us. and if you care a lot about them just sent them back to their homes in Europe not just send them to Palestine because you don't want them to live in your countries. #GazaUnderAttack

[@Adirer1]

i dont hate arabs

[@imaaroncharles]

BlackBeard PRO Palestine was under the British Mandate after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The initial plan was to divide the lands between Jews and Arabs, with the Arabians having the majority. But who rejected that idea? I am not going to answer that. If we are going to start having an inane witter on who stole whose lands first, please note that the Jews land were taken when the Turks (Muslims) conquered the land of Israel in the 6th century. After the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the British saw this as an opportunity to let displaced Jews from all over the world to go back to where they came from, and thereafter the State of Israel was created. So, If i were to argue with you based on what you had jotted down, then Israel was only given back what they had lost in the first place, a land that they had way before Islam or Christianity even existed. It is a land that was promised to them by God to Abraham. It's in the Bible, and it is in the Quran. Why don't you take a look at the lands that Arabs have and compare it with the size of Israel? The Palestinian-Israel problem was never about the land. If we put it concisely, it is simply a war against Jews.

[@BlackBeardPRO]

last time Jews have been in Palestine was +2000 years ago. Christians and Muslims lived in Palestine for more than 1400 years. Why should we share our lands with European Jews who claim that their grandfathers lived here 2000 years ago ?! When they came in a peaceful way as guest not as a occupiers to our land we lived we them without any problem. But when they started killing Arabs and destroy Arab's towns to build their own Country in our lands the conflict begun And BTW you should know that there is no genetic relationship between Jews who lived here 2000 years ago and Ashkenazi Jews who came from Europe 60 years ago to occupy Palestine. As I said before. They belong to Europe. If they had problems with other Europeans it is not our fault and we will not share our land with them for that. Give them a land in Singapore if you care too much about them.

@@uribarel Your answers: 1- Palestine was under the British occupation, and it was called mandatory Palestine. 2- Their flag is based on most of the Arab flags "why wasn't it made before" because you didn't leave them a chance to do anything and you were getting them out of their lands D:< 3- Jordan controlled them before 1967 because in the war of 1948 "your so called independence" Egypt and Jordan saved only these lands from your occupation. Palestine was there before you were and the Zionists came massively with their ideologies and brutality, taking weapons from the UK and the USA and started to kill them and get them out of their lands as gangs......and whenever you try to find Jewish monuments under Palestine's soil, you find Arab ones.....

[@uribarel]

@@mahmoudhelal4706 Lets start with - What is "Palestine" you guys talking about? Does anyone ever heard about "Palestine as a nation" before 1948 or 1967?? Everyone should ask themselves when was a Palestinian state? Who knew her? What's her flag? When is she gaining independence? The fact is that before 1948 the British ruled the place before thet the Ottoman and before that the Greeks and before that the Romans and before that was the kingdom of Judah (it is also written in the Qur'an). The one who illegally ruled the West Bank before 1967 was Jordan. "Palestine" its not even arabian name, its a Romans name since they occipite the middle east. So where or when exactly was a "Palestinian state"?? And this means that the Arabs lived there illegally without any recognition. The funny part is that the "Palestinians" adopted their flag in 1964 and they did not have an anthem or independence until 1988 (This is long after Israel was established). A state cannot be called a state without all these conditions Which means "Palestinian nation" its abiggest lie of the modern history. period.

'sha-ar' is gate 1:53 tooth is not "shin" it's like it's written on the screen, "shen" (with a silent 'e') 1:55 "yoffi" is also a hebrew world and they didn't even catch that, it means "beauty" or "good" 2:03 too much emphasis on the "kha" sound in "melech" 2:04 salt is "me-lach" not "ma-lach". "ma-lach" is the past tense of "melech"(king), meaning "ruled" 2:13 law is not "khok" like how you say the 'o' 'hook'. it's "khok" with the 'o' sounding like the 'o' in 'knock' 2:41 the arabic guy speaks perfect hebrew, better than the hebrew guy did all along 2:46 the hebrew guy doens't say 'okhel' as in "food" but as in "eating" the syllables matter. "o-khel" is "eating" and "okhel" without any syllables is food.

I am glad I am not the only one who caught the Hebrew not being very accurate. Guess instead of simply stating it I will try to point out as much a possible seeing as I am Israeli. 1:16 six is spelled without the (yud "י") it is spelled like this שש 1:18 nine in Hebrew should be spelled this way: תשע 1:42 arm is pronounced slightly different (more like zroa' not ZAroa') 1:47 hair is more like sea'r instead of sa'r 1:53 tooth. what you wrote would the more correct to pronounce instead of what your friend said (it is Shen not shi'n) 2:05 he pronounced king instead of salt. Salt is pronounced Melakh (king is Melekh) 2:14 same thing as tooth. khok is the right way not khuk. That's all I picked up. I am honestly not trying to target your friend, but you are such an inspiration and I know how much accurate pronunciation matters. I would have hated if someone knew i was pronunciation something wrong and not tell me. Hope this helped.

I think "eye" comes from a Germanic root (related to oog in Dutch and Auge in German) which is linked via Proto Indo-European (PIE) to the Latin "oculus" (think "ocular" in English). The word for tooth is "dens" in Latin (think "dental") and "dat" in Sanskrit -- Grimm's Law, which determines consonant shifts from PIE into Germanic languages, shows that roots with D will change to T or a voiced fricative, creating English's tooth, Dutch's tand and, after mutation, German's Zahn from PIE *h₃dónts

Language is so powerful and helps one understand other cultures. I hope to start spanish and farsi after I get B2 in german. I guess I will have an advantage with farsi as hindi has many farsi words. Peace to all

you are awesome

[@cooled0quoin]

Very good you did this video!! ;)) I am morrocan musulman and as an arabic point of view I observed too that there are a lot of similarities. Either I could say that's there pretty have between the social cultures too! We are all the same, and our similarities and differences being just because of the geographic distances. As we can say that's spanish and italian are approached because of it geographical proximity and it's historical origins; it's happens the same to arabic and hebrew. Congraats to youu you have a very good arab!! (wish I had it lol ;p!, I studied on a spanish school so my spanish and my french are waay better xpp) Good luck!! :)

[@icyburger]

[@HVVV-l7g]

That's because Hebrew was a part of Arabic language and grew up until it formed a new language.

but rather as a hobby and to revel in the fascinating intricacies of languages and their lore, is, to me, so unbelievably remarkable, that the very least I could do was send you this message. You have inspired me in my own efforts, sir, and I wish you the best of luck in your continued efforts. It would be great to communicate with you further, but I honestly see you as a celebrity, therefore I won't be too disappointed if you decline. Thank you again for showing me I am not alone in my passion.

[@abde0065]

The real Hebrews and Arabs were in Palestine and the Arab world before the 20th century. Many converted to Islam and Christianity, but many also stayed Jewish. There was never war between Jews and Arabs because they are the same people; only different faiths.

[@joshpage5887]

Hey Tim. I just stumbled on your channel earlier, and I must say, I am impressed, but further, I find in you an absolute kindred that I honestly thought I never would. I took Spanish, then German, then French, and finally Arabic in school and via formal education, and then began teaching myself Hebrew, Latin, and Farsi, which I study concurrently today. Seeing that someone younger than myself is tackling foreign languages with such vigor, not for any 'practical' reason' per se...

***** The Hebrew equivalent is Shalom Aleikhem. The reply is Aleikhem Shalom (Aleikum Salaam in Arabic).

[@bolshevikalgerien8415]

YehudaLionWhen a old jews greets you, and says 'Death to you' (as-samu alaykum) , 'And to you.' " that means old jews hated saying "asalaam alykoom" back then, that have a very deep meaning, i think the new hebrew it's been influenced by arabic in the middle ages when hebrew nearly disappeared.

[@YehudaLion]

brahim kadi Not sure I understand your comment. "Death to you" is not a greeting at all. It's an insult or threat. Modern Hebrew is mainly based in ancient Hebrew but contains indeed some words of Arabic origin, which is normal considering that many words could not exist 1400 years ago when Jews lost their final battle for Israel's independence against the Byzantines in 628 CE, not to mention in 701 BCE when Assyrians invaded Israel and introduced Aramaic as the official language . On the other hand, the Arabic dialect spoken in Israel is also influenced to some extent by Hebrew and even Aramaic, which is normal considering the History of the land, the Israelite origins of most Muslims and Christians living therein and the re-introduction of Hebrew as the official language of Israel.

[@MoonAnimus]

There should be more people on KZbin making videos in arabic with subtitles (arabic + english), that would help me so much with learning!

[@bolshevikalgerien8415]

arabic was there since 2100 years ago, hebrew just desapeared after the 2th century, and it's been revived in the late 19th century with a very very tiny amount of information i can say it's roots are weak compared to arabic, so i can say arabic is a stronger language it's an unchangable language and very interesting for sure.

[@MrEVAQ]

Hebrew never disappeared, it simply ceased to be spoken colloquially, but it continued to be spoken till this day as a liturgical language.

[@bolshevikalgerien8415]

MrEVAQ yeas that's true but some words's meaning and pronounciation is unknown to us today.

Proper formal arabic is preserved due to the preservation of the Quran. Hebrew is lost due to the corruption and abandonment of Torah

[@simbbam]

your Israeli friend pronounces some of the Hebrew words incorrectly, that's very weird. Are u sure he's Israeli? If he is, I'm afraid he misunderstood the Arabic words you were saying and was refering to different things in Hebrew in some cases (which actually made the differences between Arabic and Hebrew sound bigger than they are)

[@joaodavid2001]

Yeah for example shen שן and zohar זהר

[@TheDood656]

I speak arabic as my first language I seem to get the tone in the way you are pronouncing, that you have been taught by an Egyptian. The way you pronounce your "ج" you soften it up to something similar to a "G". A Cool fact about the arabic language and that way it is spoken nowadays. Each region speaking arabic has its own accent when speaking it Egyptian's have their own way people in the middle east have their own way and it differs from Qatar to SaudiA and Saudi to Bahrain etc...

[@AysarAburrub]

how much you understand from TV depends on which dialect they're broadcasted in, and how technical the content you're listening to is. Like you said, cartoons are easier to understand, where as a historical Syrian series like Bab Al Hara would be much more difficult, considering the huge amount of metaphors and regional specific words they use, plus the very different culture and time they're set in.

[@MohaQA]

as most commentates said we have no problem with jews , we lived together in Islamic Spain , Morocco . Palestine etc with minor problems , just our problem with the European jews who already are not real jews ..

You had some inaccuracies in your video Tesha, in hebrew should be: תשע shesh, in hebrew should be: שש אבא should be אביו And "Father" should be changed to "Father of" Otherwise change the arabic word to 'baba' in this arabic context, אמא should be אם "i eat" should be "food"

[@salamarizka7123]

Father in Arabic is Ab أب Father of is abo أبو, aba أبا or abi ابي. Depending on the tense.

[@MingBaiLiaoJie]

Salama Rizka "Ab" means "father", but so does "baba" "abo" does mean "father of" or "his father". But "aba" just means "Father", and "abi" means "my father", not "father of". Did I misunderstand you? Was I wrong on something?

The Bani Israel or as they are called The children of Israel are Arabs by ethnic. Who are they? They are the descendants of Israel, who is this Israel? Some say it is Jacob some say it is someone else but still from the Ibrahim family. The children of Israel language was one of the Arabic different tongues called today Aramaic. There was never a language called "Hebrew", the word "Hebrew" in ancient Arabic and even today means "those who cross over" and it was given to anyone who crossed to the Surat Mountains in Arabia. Ancient Arabic had few tongues depending on the region.

The word for god in Arabic and Hebrew, respective, Allah and Eloh, both come from the same monotheistic Semitic root. Thus is not a surprise, as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael are the same. It is opposite of the Christian trinity view of god.

"Eye" and "Tooth" are the same because they both come from Phoenician, where the letter 'ayin - a glottal stop - meant "Eye", and the letter 'siin' - /s/ - meant "Tooth". The word for eye is the same in Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, and Maltese.

[@khalidkk7]

ayn ع is not a glottal stop، the glottal stop are these ء آ أ ؤ ئ، for Maltese people they phenocian people mixed with roman people and they spoke variety of Arabic (Maltese language) similar to Moroccan Arabic. the Amharic and Ge'ez is mixed semetic with hametic because of the great influence of the ancient Saba kingdom (they spoke Qahtanite ancient south arabian but the modren south arabian have nothing to do with it) in yemen over the Arabian Peninsula and the horn of Africa.

[@gherbihicham8506]

Your Arabic is very good actually ...but you should'nt have learned this Labanese/Syrian Arabic ..IMO you should have learned "al fossha" which is the original Arabic language which is used in education/religion/politics and in formal international speech(that is if you want to use it in some proffessional matter) ,you can definately pull it of though, you already have the vocabulary.. all you need is some alteration in the prononciation and it will be perfect.

[@abde0065]

Fosha is worthless in any practical setting. Shami (lebanese/syrian/palestinian/jordanian) is spoken in those countries. Egyptian is understood by all Arabs, so he's on the right track.

[@gherbihicham8506]

"Fosha is worthless in any practical setting." lol please specify what you mean by "practical setting " , as i said above :education, formal speech and so on are all done in alfosha which is the formal Arabic language with the little exception of Egyptiens , also you can't write in labanese/Syrian/ ,Egyptien Arabic, i have never seen any document written in those dialects , you would have to convert what ever you are saying to the original Arabic ... Also unless you're visiting Lebanon or Syria or fighting with some Israeli Arabic speaker on Aljazeera there is basically no use for Labanese/Syrian Arabic ... Also if you are looking for undertanding , formal arabic is the best way as all arab countries actually teach it in schools...and no, Egyptien is not understood in most north African countries: Tunisia, Algeria , Morroco .I don't know about the rest but you're definitely not going to reach all arabs if you speak in an Egyptien tongue ...

Even coincidental similarities help learning a language. That's all that I was saying. I know that the word for "eye" in Esperanto is "okulo" and the word for tooth is "dento", which is close to Spanish's "diente" and seemingly closer to Latin than the Romance languages are.

Spanish is an easy language because it is very regular and always pronounced as written. French is somewhat easy but it takes more effort, and it would be more difficult for an Arabic speaker. A nice thing about Spanish though is due to the Arabic presence in Spain for eight hundred years, Spanish has a very large amount (many thousands) of Arabic loanwords. The Spanish word for 'shirt' is 'camisa'. Once you know Spanish you can learn French because they are very similar.
