In the Philippines most people believes that it cannot be pronounced because it is just written in consonant letters only, without vowels. Some accused that vowels are added for malicious intent to change what are written in the Bible. Thank you for making a video like this to educate us about Hebrew. Your explanation is easy to catch up with good voice and accent to listen. It is very helpful to those who want to know about the vowel system used in Hebrew writings.

Interesting. I'm used to "ultra short" being called "half vowels." Also, I usually stick with the matres when I teach and then explain that the E and O came about as diphthongs with the A. That helps students understand at least some of the variances with vowel shortening and syllables. That said, this is a nice, clear presentation. I'm always looking for secondary videos to provide students as sometimes it's good to let them see various presentations before something clicks.

I am learning a lot from your Biblical Hebrew lessons. Things are well explained. Thank you! I do have some questions, though. Ex: why does אָב have a long vowel when it looks like a Closed Syllable?
@timmcninch5 ай бұрын
I’ve generalized the concept in the video for the sake of introducing the two basic types of syllables. There are many exceptions, often coordinated with stress: a closed, accented syllable often has a long vowel (as in אֶָב). And many open, accented syllables use short vowels (as in the first syllable of אֶרֶץ). You can find long explanations for these in grammars like Gesenius, but for most learners, a general sense of how to divide words into syllables is sufficient. Thanks for the question!

Thank you so much, this is truly helpful. I want to learn Hebrew and this tutorial is mostly wonderful . I have a question: Can the sheva be used above a letter as in the YOD? which nikkud mark, besides the kholam can be use above a letter? Thank you
@timmcninch3 жыл бұрын
No, shva is always beneath the text. Only the holam is above. Many texts of the Bible also include other markings, known as cantillation marks, which aid in phrasing and singing the text. These sometimes resemble the nikkud, so it can be confusing for beginners.
What about the two dots over the Shin. A dot on the top right says "Shin" and a dot on the top right says "Sin" but what about both. This has always confused me.
@timmcninch2 жыл бұрын
Sometimes this occurs when a shin is followed by a holam vowel (o sound). In that case, the dot on the right marks it as a shin, and the dot on the left is the vowel. The syllable is pronounced “sho”.

The little line is called a _meteg_. All it does (usually) is note that the syllable is stressed. Next to a _segol_ like your example, the vowel still makes an "eh" sound.

The rule of thumb is: if it’s in a closed, unaccented syllable, it is kamats katan (oh); otherwise, regular kamats (ah).
