Hebrew Grammar - Dagesh (דגש)

[@einarengemoen2486]

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

[@zerotrace000]

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.

[@kasey4565]

ditto! This one helped me ALOT! I was majorly confused!

[@angelalane8678]

I had trouble locating the green circle in the game. It also vanished too quickly.

[@VK-pk2ht]

Thanks Sir

[@loveofreedom777]

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!

[@jesusstudentbrett]

I am here in Jerusalem learning Biblical Hebrew using the spoken method here at Polis and was just asking yesterday someone about Dagesh Lene versus Dagesh Forte... and BaGaD-KaPHaT בגדכפת. Perfect timing... תודא רבה!

[@timmcninch]

That makes me happy! All the best with your studies. I’ve heard good things about Polis! בהצלחה

[@tonyruiz4738]

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!

[@michellekgross5627]

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.

[@SuddenUpdraft]

Thank you very much! I will have to watch this video several times to grasp the concept firmly. I wish I had a worksheet covering this with an answer key. That always helps me learn.

Congratulations Tim. The best Hebrew instruction style I have encountered. I was engrossed and watched it twice. You have a real talent for language instruction - intelligent, clear, well structured and explained but never boring or verbose. You make a listener feel confident that they are getting correct information of a very good quality. Please keep making videos. We love them.

Hello Tim , Thank-you so much for your lesson on dagesh. I appreciate your excellent pedagogy.:well structured, good memorisation tricks & tips, ample practice by repetition. Your tone of voice is zen and makes pleasant listening. However, I would have liked you to spell out the pronunciation for all the words of the 13 examples in the identification game. Am interested in the meaning and the sounds of each of these words. God bless you.

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.

[@timmcninch]

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

[@Kevin-od5xz]

a lot of the pronunciation rules are similar between arabic and hebrew! everytime i learn about a rule in hebrew, i say, "hey that's a sekun". I also love how the vowel markers are practically identical too! in hebrew, there's yod, vav/waw, and heh but in arabic it's ya, waw/wow, and alif!

[@APSATAUTTPLeader]

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.

[@doronministry7033]

In the example of " bime " the YOD that preceded it is NOT a consonant is part of the VOWEL Hiriq-Yod is Dagesh Qal, but even there is a Begedkefet goes with Dagesh because is an excption of the rule is the PREPOSITION FOR 'IN THE DAYS.

[@mriostamez]

The best! Thank you.

[@m.c.fromnyc2187]

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).

[@timmcninch]

That's very interesting. I've never come across a doubled resh. I'll have to look into those Rosh Hashanah blessings (fascinating)!

[@m.c.fromnyc2187]

@@timmcninch To Mizrahim, a dagesh always has consequences. There is a difference in pronouncing ג and גּ. Soft “gh” like the Arabic غ, and hard G like Gabriel. This is comparable with the difference between כ and כּ.

[@mp6471]

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

[@sunshinehomeactivist3642]

So, does that mean that the dagesh in "mebeyt" tells us to pronounce it as "mevveyt"?

[@einarengemoen2486]

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.

[@megersabayisa4623]

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

[@victoremman4639]

You may know that each hebrew and arabic letter carries a meaning At 5:40 it's only about prononciation, while in arabic, the phone Dhe it's ذ with it's own meaning, different from D. The problem is that the meaning of the arabic ذ is found in the hebrew letter ז but not always, because the ז is also officially the arabic ز (z). Making etymologic investigations on semitic languages, it seems that anciant hebrew has lost various letters and pronunciation.

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

[@aliciabrock4444]

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

[@timmcninch]

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.

[@andrewkerr-ridgefieldparkr8383]

Hi Tim with Dagesh following the wayyhi in Ruth, the preceding word has a vowel - sometimes this will soften the dagesh qal but here it does not - Is the rule not at the start of a Word it is considered to have nothing before it hence the hard sound?
