Yeah that happens in Portuguese where "ruber" (red) became "vermelho", which comes from "vermillion" (a specific shade of red), unlike most other Romance languages which use, e.g., rojo. You can still use "rubro", though, it just sounds way too poetic for everyday use.

@@NastenkaVasileva yeah that's why us, Romance language speakers might sound posh to natives when communicating in English. The fact we are taught mainly literary vocabulary instead of more casual forms adds up to this discrepancy. And to make things more complicated, an old French or a Latin root like "discrepancy" could be archaic or become a false friend in modern Romance languages.

As a Syrian Arabic speaker, I can make out a few words when hearing Hebrew sentences. Usually its the pronouns, numbers, and some verbs and nouns. Its also notable that Interrogative words in both languages are extremely similar, I'm surprised you didn't mention it, because its one of the first things I notice as an Arab when I hear Hebrew speakers. For example, "Ma" is "What" in both Arabic and Hebrew. Adding the preposition "Li" in Arabic which is "To" in both Arabic and Hebrew, will give you "Lima" meaning "Why" or literally "To what", similarly in Hebrew, we can see the word for "Why" is "Lama" very similar to Arabic. Also in Levantine Arabic, we sometimes add the definite Article "Ha" or Hal" before a word instead of traditional "Al" meaning "The" For example, "Ha'sayarra" would mean "This car" or "Hal-Kitab" would mean "This book". I believe this has an old common Semitic Root with Hebrew, because the letter "H" in Arabic or the sound "Ha" is still used in Modern Standard Arabic to indicate specificity. For example "Tha" in Arabic is "This", but "Ha-tha" is also "This" but more specific. Similarly, Hebrew uses "Ha" for "The", and "Za" for "This".

As an Arabic and Aramaic speaker, I can understand a fair bit of Hebrew when it’s in isolation. Short sentences, words, etc. The numbers are also almost identical. Like you pointed out at the end of the video, the biggest barrier to understanding more is that the European-influenced pronunciation style of Hebrew is the dominant one, so letters like ayn, Ha, qof, Ta, and so on are not pronounced by most Israelis with their original Semitic sounds. When I’ve heard Mizrahi Jews speak, it’s much clearer. Also, where Hebrew and Arabic words have different roots sometimes, usually the Hebrew word is using an Aramaic root that I know. Paul, you may find it interesting that the root KTB/كتب is actually an Aramaic borrowing into Arabic. The root SFR was the original Arabic root dealing with writing, like it is in Hebrew today. That’s why the very old word for book in Arabic uses that root.

This is essentially a type of religious school, or at least an institution where students primarily study religious subjects. Also, the word Arabic word "sayyara" (car), which appears in 20:25, sounds like the Hebrew verb "le-sayer" (לסייר), which means to wander around or to tour, and this is a thing people do using cars🙃 As for the question at the end of the video, as a native Hebrew speaker, I don’t understand it at all. However, when I listen to Arabic, I can pick out some words that sound similar to Hebrew, though that doesn’t always help in grasping the overall context

But after learning the letters and how some changed pronunciation, I began to spot more words when I read. For example, I learned that the unfamiliar-sounding "ġatov" means "raṭib," which means wet. I'm sure Arabic and Hebrew speakers would recognize even more words if they didn't change pronunciation.

I speak decent Hebrew as a third language and have been trying to pick up Arabic lately and absolutely loved this video! I have to say, comparing cognates (and especially true cognate-false friends) has been one of my favourite parts, so I'm thrilled that I'm coming away with some new ones. טעם/طعم - I wasn't familiar with طعم/طعام, but I assume they're also related to مطعم? צדיק/صديق - I knew both of these though I never would've made the connection that they might be cognate, makes me wonder what the original sense of the root was.
@dubalrimaal
@dubalrimaal 2 ай бұрын
Yes, مطعم is another noun configuration of that root. In Arabic, having a م in the first position often turns the noun into being a place or person depending on the vowels. Compare KTB with مكتب etc. From my very limited understanding of Hebrew, that seems to be the case as well in that language.

19:32 this isn't totally true. In fact the standard modern Hebrew accent is the sephardi one, which eliezer Ben Yehuda mainly based on the accent of algerian jews, as he spent a lot of time there. The traditional ashkenazi accent has way more radical sound shifts, and it could be difficult for a standard Hebrew speaker to even understand an ashkenazi Hebrew speaker. Some ultra orthodox people still speak that way. It is true though that ashkenazi jews softened the sephardi accent when learning it, but I'm not sure how much algerian jews were pronouncing those letters before speaking Hebrew daily either. Notably yemenite jews (mainly due to racism early in Israel's history) are a bit more insular than the rest of Israeli jews and they still pray with a very traditional and unintelligible accent

I love how well researched your videos are. One thing that irks me is this myth that Hebrew was unused for thousands of years except in prayer. Hebrew was not a dead language. It wasn't just used in prayer either. It was used internally among Jews for business, to write poetry, and for many other uses. No, it was not used daily because Jews were in exile. To survive, they had to speak the language of the place they lived in. But all along, changes were happening. You can see this in books of legal responsa and biblical commentaries. New words being created etc. For religious Jews, it was always a living language. A person who speaks/understands Mishnaic Hebrew with no knowledge of modern Hebrew can 100 % understand modern Hebrew. It's just a process of learning some new words. The core experience is the same. I say this as someone fluent in biblical, Mishnaic, and modern Hebrew.

Great video. A little comment though. Modern hebrew pronunciation tried to follow traditional sephardic pronunciations (the traditional pronunciation used by spanish jewish communities) but really ended up creating a simplified pronunciation system that is neither ashkenazi nor sephardic nor iranian, etc. The second thing is that although modern hebrew was "recreated" in the sense that it was used to become the language of a state and secular affairs, it was still very much a living language. A lot of rabbinical works pertaining to daily life (how to do this and that during this festival, how to kill an animal to make it kosher, etc.) was written in Hebrew in order to be understood by laypeople in different communities before anyone had thought about creating a "modern hebrew".

“Living language” normally refers to a language that has an ongoing community of native speakers that use it in all areas of life. In the case of Hebrew, it was used for literature and some written communication, but wasn’t spoken as a native language by anyone. And if anyone used it as a spoken lingua franca, it was in limits areas of life. So it’s referred to as a “dead language”, but not an “extinct” language. (An extinct language is no longer used for any purpose). That’s just terminology though. I know you’re right that it was continuously used in writing.

As a clarification - The accent that became the mainstream for Hebrew is more of a mix between north African accents which Eliezer Ben Yehuda preferred the sound of, and European accents. e.g. modern Hebrew שבת (Shabbat) vs European Shabbos (meaning "Sabbath"). Many Israelis from Arabic speaking countries will still pronounce ח and ע differently (some ר as well), and Yemenite Jews will pronounce additional sounds differently when praying

Yes, they intended to use Sephardic pronunciation, but then some changes took place when Ashkenazim adopted it. But Modern Hebrew doesn't use the traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation.

⁠Additional context for anyone interested - The term Sephardi is from Hebrew Spharad (ספרד meaning Spanish and Spain respectively), but the name refers to people who follow the prayer customs / religious customs of the expelled Spanish jews, which includes most jews from Arabic speaking countries (except Yemen), Iranian jews, and others. In this case the Sephardi dialect was learned by Eliezer Ben Yehuda in Algiers. Most European jews are Ashkenazi, but smaller groups of Sephardim exist/ed in Europe as well after the Spanish expulsion of the jews (e.g. in the Netherlands and the Balkans).

Thank you Paul - a masterful job as always! My native language is English, I've learned Hebrew to mother-tongue-level fluency, and I've studied both Modern Standard Arabic and colloquial Palestinian Arabic - the Jerusalem dialect. As you probably know, there are variations in vocabulary and pronunciation in the colloquial dialects within Palestine and Israel - such that you can tell where someone is from by their accent and word choice. Since Arabic is my third language and I'm far from fluent (alas), I find it more difficult to understand some native Palestinian speakers than others, depending on where they're from - but at the same time can usually get the gist of what someone from Lebanon or Jordan is saying. Lastly, MSA is indeed much more difficult to learn than Hebrew. This is a complicated topic for sure, but fascinating. Thank you again for your superb video.

@@Langfocus wow...I apologize that my answer may be a bit long, because I've studied eclectically and over a protracted period. I studied MSA at Hebrew University in Jerusaelm, and then after a long gap at Tel Aviv University - and used the materials provided by those institutions, which were based in Hebrew (when I first started learning MSA I was still learning Hebrew, which was a bit nuts, but definitely helped my understanding of both languages' grammar). In between, I studied the colloquial Palestinian with a variety of private teachers, two of them Palestinian-Israelis and one Jewish Israeli, and all of them excellent teachers who used their own self-produced materials and their creativity. On my own I found a book of short stories written in colloquial Levantine dialect, "الحكواتي", from دار فضاءات للنشر والتوزيع - الاردن. Most of the material was quite difficult for me, but it enabled me to learn colloquial Arabic without forfeiting my literacy (for some reason colloquial Arabic is taught through transliteration, which I find unhelpful). I'm terrible at learning online - I like to work with a real person - and so my studies have been sporadic, depending on various intrusions of "real life". I apologize for not being so helpful. I would add, regarding the revival of the Hebrew language, that it was used continuously - primarily liturgically but not only. Newspaparrs and poetry were being published in Hebrew in Europe even before Elizer Ben Yehuda's dedicated revival., and of course there has always been a continuous Jewish presence in what is now Israel - however small, and whatever additional languages (Yiddish, Ladino) those people used. Regarding modern-Hebrew pronunciation, it's actually the Sephardic pronunciation of the historic land of Israel, and not akin to the liturgical Hebrew of European Jews. Regarding the ability of modern-Hebrew speakers to understand the Bible: I think it is greater than that of the English speaker trying to understand Shakespeare, as the primary differences are grammatical and not lexical. Moreover, just as the King James Version of the Bible informs English speech and literature, so the Hebrew Bible informs the everyday speech, idioms, pop songs and of course the literature of Israeli Hebrew speakers. All things i continued thinking about after watching your wonderful video! Please forgive my waxing long. I value and enjoy your work so much ❤️

Interesting that in English, both "bread" and "meat" have been used in the past to mean "food". So you had green meat (vegetable matter), white meat (dairy), red meat (animal flesh), etc. And then in Hebrew and Arabic, you have "false" cognates that mean bread in one and meat in the other.

I speak decent Hebrew and have been trying to pick up some Arabic, and these have been some of my absolute favourite parts. I wish he would've expanded a bit on Madinah (city in AR) and Medina (country in HE) as they both come from the root word Din, which originally meant law and transitioned to specifically religious law in both languages. Madinah/Medina in both cases basically meant the "The place with the courts" and one simply chose the municipal courts which the other, the federal. PS this is a technicality, but false cognates have similar meaning and sound as a coincidence despite unrelated etymology, these are true cognates (related origins) and just false friends (divergent meanings)

Hebrew speaker here, learnt Arabic and Tigrinya, most common vocabulary is common for all three, sometimes Tigrinya feels closer than Arabic, especially in pronunciation and some vocabulary, Tigrinya also switches k to x, note that the older Emphatic sounds in Hebrew are reconstructed as Ejectives as in Tigrinya as well. Tigrinya grammar is further away, though the classical form Ge'ez has a more Hebrew like structure.

Fairly fluent in Hebrew. Lived in Amman for a year. I was able to get by remembering that G = J / B = V / Sh = S, and I used simple sentences at the suk (shuk) to go shopping and to give directions to taxi drivers (before GPS or Google Translate existed). I can understand the basic gist of conversations in Palestinian Arabic but get the details wrong. I also worked alongside mostly Palestinian Arabs in Jerusalem for 4 years and would listen to their conversations - I knew if they were talking about food, or their families, or a car accident, or travel, or work, or paying a bill over the phone, but I'd get the details wrong. Palestinians and Arabs in Israel use a lot of loan words in Hebrew because it's much easier than using those terms in Arabic (like mazgan for air conditioning or Misrad HaPanim for Ministry of the Interior or Kupat Cholim for Health Insurance company). Then there are words in Arabic that are so ingrained into Israeli culture, like telling someone "sahktein" before they eat (Arabic for bon appetite) or "ahlan" as a greeting or "sababa" for ok.

@MaxPower-11 2 ай бұрын
Useless trivia… Kupat Holim is an interesting word combination which literally means a “cash register of sick people”. This odd combination of words is a direct translation of the German word Krankenkasse. This is because the Israeli health insurance companies (which predate the establishment of the state) were modeled after the health insurance companies in Germany (which in both countries began as mutual-aid societies).

This is such a great deep dive into Hebrew and Arabic! They seem to be similar enough that knowing one will give you an advantage in learning the other, but nowhere near mutually intelligible. To answer the ending question: I grew up speaking English and German from an American father and German mother, and Dutch is a language closely related to both of them. But when I hear spoken Dutch, there are so many differences that I can seldom understand a word. At least I can pick out a pretty good amount of words when I encounter written Dutch.

I’m Israeli and it’s so interesting to see how certain Palestinian Arabic words are closer to Hebrew words than to Standard Arabic. I wonder if this is a result of heavier Aramaic influence which is true for both Levantine Arabic dialects as well as Hebrew, or perhaps a more ancient source, given that many Palestinians are descended from converted Jews (though this hypothesis is somewhat less logical in my view). Alternatively, it could be a more recent change, born of interactions between Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine. This is easily seen in Hebrew, particularly in slang (like “yalla”, “sababa”, “khalas”, etc which came directly from Arabic), and I know from Arab Israeli (Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel) friends that they regularly use Hebrew words in their Arabic speech, like “mazgan” (air conditioner), “shalat” (remote control), “mat3n” (charger), “mitz” (juice), “kharif” (spicy) and many others.

Great video. As a Jew who learned traditional religious Ashkenazi (European) Hebrew before learning much modern Hebrew, some of the Arabic distinctions are more apparent to me - for example, "avoda" certainly has connotations of prayer or temple service as opposed to simply work. Also, rabbinic Hebrew seems to be filled with Aramaic vocabulary from the Talmud, etc, much of which is more similar to Arabic and has some of the consonant switches which you mentioned. I'd also add that it wasn't only the modern Hebrew revivalists who made some of the mentioned changes, but rather that was how Hebrew was pronounced in Europe amongst religious Jews who could read the Bible and other books fluently and pray in Hebrew - ח and כ had become the same non-guttural sound, ע had largely lost its guttural sound as well, etc. On the other hand, European Hebrew ת and תּ were pronounced "S" and "T" respectively, but Ben Yehuda et al made them both "T", rather than exactly preserving either the European or Middle Eastern Jewish pronunciations.
