Hebrew Verb Binyanim (בניינים)

What exactly is a verb "binyan," and what does it do? This tricky concept is explained in plain language in this fully animated tutorial!

[@manuelfantoni5262]

These video-lessons are small works of art. Thanks a lot, Tim!

[@lorenzocollins8326]

This is the best video and explanation on this subject that I have seen in over eleven years of studying Hebrew!!!!!

[@mewdolfkittler5630]

The fact fact that I was able to understand this, without paying much attention, means how good of a teacher you are

[@loveofreedom777]

I am taking a class in Biblical Hebrew and your wonderful way of teaching is as “icing on the cake” ...

[@clementtong8092]

Tim, I have heard many Hebrew verb lessons and yours by far is the most insightful and helpful. Please make more videos! :)

[@HeavenestStCyr]

I agree!

[@bonusgolden12]

My eyes have rolled into my head on this subject for so many years. THANK YOU!!! I think I can go on to understanding, finally.

[@mamamarsha]

I am learning Hebrew and I am so thankful for your tutorials. They help my brain stretch with a little less pain.

[@ScoddyFlippin]

Amazing how attractive you make it to me to learn the language with these animations. Thank you so much!

[@timmcninch]

It's fun to do! Thanks for watching!

[@mselliott8800]

This series of tutorials is one of the best I have come across. Really clear to follow. I am a senior so, please keep up the good work! Michael

[@Blindedon]

Love your Hebrew, and your teacher, Toda Raba.

[@sdh4230]

the cutest intro to the binyanim I could have ever wished for, thanks!

[@skeeterburke]

This is the bestest binyanim lesson 👋 shalom, shoresh!

[@hoookedonhebrew8713]

This is awesome! Thank you so much. Craving for more.

[@dianeshigekawa7445]

I love this video. I’ve watched it over and over again; and every time I have learned something new. Thank you for taking the time and using your creativity to make it, Tim. Grammar can be drudgery to learn, but you’ve made it fun and something to which I look forward. God bless you!

[@timmcninch]

Thanks so much! תודה רבה

[@TheSupaaMan]

This was plain out amazing. You deserve an award for this.

[@gonlindas]

God bless you. Tim. I have been checking Online Hebrew lessons that relates to the Bible for the past 2 weeks. I. glad I found this one. I love the Alphabet lesson. Thanks!!!!!!

[@John-cm3yo]

Hands down this is the best explanation I have seen on the net. Also really entertaining. Thank you so much Tim :)

[@dianapavlova2982]

This is the best explanation ever. Thank you!

[@markelmore66]

It’s amazing how similar the Biyanim are to the Arabic measure system - and likewise Arabic uses the same word for “verb” فعل. And a Shadda as a germinating device just like a daghesh.

[@murphyslaw2356]

This was really helpful and definitely memorable! I have learned a lot by watching. Thank you! 👍

[@lindaskelton4734]

Just want you to know you were the one to most help me with the alphabet a year ago when I started learning Hebrew on my own with Lambdin text and now this lovely non threatening explanation of the Binyanim... Just delightful. I've just nine lessons to go but boy I can use all the friendly assistance I can find. Thank you! I'm 59 and keeping my brain alive! Loving Hebrew!

[@timmcninch]

איזה יופי! Thanks for your kind words.

[@sonjarandolfboskovic1906]

I am very grateful for the excellent approach to grammar. A lesson with the help of imagination makes such a distant and foreign language easier . Greetings from Croatia

[@willingtolistentoyou]

Thank you! And please keep making these, they are great!

[@crownedpillar3232]

Its informative, helpful, easily memorized with the beautiful funny graphics. Please do the next binyanim. Thank you very much, Tim.

[@MrCEPPaulT]

Wandered over from Aleph with Beth after several passes through Lesson 107. I was feeling dense. Thank you as it makes more sense now. I'll watch this several times.

[@user-cy3qt3df9h]

This was great - I tried several you tube lessons and this was the best!! Thank you

[@dianeshigekawa7445]

What a fun and informative video! I’ve been trying to learn Hebrew on my own, and was flummoxed by how and why word forms were changing. Now, I have some concrete images to learn how Hebrew words are built. Thank you so much, Tim! I love your videos! God bless you and all who watch.

[@BrainstewMovies]

Been trying to understand the binyanim for a couple of days now and didn't get anywhere until now. Thank you for this great video!

[@timmcninch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eT-Cpo]

Thanks a ton for the hard work, these videos are very helpful!

[@humanalltoohuman]

This is simply gold!

[@Dr_Kenneth_Noisewater]

Made it through the aleph bet and basic pronouns without mastery but understood all the concepts. But this. This will take a while to get my head around coming from and English/Spanish/Portuguese background. Rewatching. Great video!

[@ghazarayyaohaman134]

Amazing video! Thank you, Tim! The effort you've put in! Like Home Sweet Home picture in the Qal house! ^^ Makes me smile. Shalom shalom

[@hebrewbibleinsights]

Wow! This video is phenomenal! This video must have taken awhile to make. This is the best video explanation I’ve ever seen on this subject. I’m going to start using this with my students!

[@StrongHands10]

Will you make your next video for the other binyanim? Please do! This brings meaning into my beginning learning. Thank you for the work to make it understandable. btw, what program do you use to create your videos? so well done!

[@dianeshigekawa7445]

Yes, please! Would you please make a video for the other binyamin?

[@SybilKibble]

Thank you for breaking this down so easily. I like that you included the three-letter-root and the Tree of Life. Shalom, todah rebah

[@romanzhivotovskij1016]

The best explanation ever! Thank you!

[@timmcninch]

Nice of you to comment! Thanks!

[@mariacheetham1476]

Beyond. Thank you again Tim!

[@JohnNoZ35]

This was a great explanation of a very complicated subject. I am just starting to learn Hebrew, but I feel like I understand this topic far better than I would have, had I listened to a more academic lecture.

[@kristine6996]

Super language giving a deeper meaning to the information, a deeper awareness to Life 🌳😉.

Thank you . Wonderful teacher.

[@DiscipleDojo]

Fantastic channel! I'm trying to keep my Hebrew sharp 20 years after having studied under Gary Pratico. Your videos are so good! Did you learn to speak modern Hebrew first, or how to read Biblical Hebrew first?

[@MessiachRelligio]

Thank you Tim!

[@lielalter4096]

thankyou for making this! So helpful

[@drfranklin5638]

[@user-cafe77]

Thanks so much

[@dartagnanx1]

Brilliant!

[@ForwardTalk]

I started my first Hebrew class this week and I feel very overwhelmed.

[@mrsock3598]

Take your time! Learning languages is rough. I have learned a lot of Hebrew from just being persistent. Just keep doing it and doing it then finally it’ll click!

[@Jewish_Israeli_Zionist]

The binyanim and mishkalim are a very algebraic concept. The binyan or the mishkal is the formula, and the shoresh letters are the variables.

[@Cuzll]

Thank you dude, wish me luck on my exam tmrw

[@lydiemartykanova6265]

נהדר! תודה רבה!

[@victorlins4754]

thanks a lot!!!

[@brenosantana1458]

Good video.

[@kimwoosung6407]

great

[@jonnymoses8812]

Great video Tim! I have a question: In פִּעֵּל, why do the examples here take a Pataḥ instead of a Ṣere for the 2nd root letter? These vowels are different in sound both in Modern and Biblical Hebrew, and also differ in length. Thank you!

[@timmcninch]

There are other rules that come into effect for the second vowel. Often it has to do with the presence of a guttural letter (אהחע) or a resh (ר) as one of the letters in the shoresh. So that vowel is a bit difficult to predict. You're right, in these examples, it is a pataḥ

[@yiotatheofanous4489]

[@timmcninch]

'vaqashah!

[@rosatorres4890]

shalom. estara este video en español. gracias. muy lindo el canal. shalom.

[@manetho5134]

Wow that is very similar to Arabic, I knew the meaning of the word "Tizkerooni" you said at the beginning immediately, in Arabic we say "Tazakarooni"

[@Repentforthekindomogiah]

Thankyou

[@srikarbabu519]

Can you provide any resources or PDF to learn verbs(actions) so that we may use binyanim on them.

[@christianbotello8537]

Yes sir! I understand!!

[@chrisi8605]

the poster at the gym is dagesh ḥazaq (דגש חזק‎) "strong dot" in the middle of the root!

[@tomjull1106]

טוב מאוד!

[@timmcninch]

תודה רבה!

[@salamatsidabutar6109]

How can you make the animation like that so yr teaching so effective?

[@zoecorman2500]

More Videos! More!

[@louaygammo2204]

As an Arabic native, we have a similar form to the פיעל. You say you double the sound of the ע but I don't hear it. In Arabic, the doubling is unmistakable. What am I missing?

[@timmcninch]

The doubled sounds are much subtler in Hebrew, and in actual speech often disappear entirely. But the doubling is there “grammatically.”
