I.  Adverb Groups: [0:28]

• shel = of:  adverb –  (shin + lamed);  [ש  +  ל ] ;  (also used in the possessive case  ‘mine’, ‘my’ )
• [0:28]  Shel = of  [shin  +  lamed] [ש  +  ל ]  See below pronouns in singular and in plural.
  • e.g Ha’ chover shel do‘rit– The friend of Dorit; Dorit’s friend. [0:34]
  • [0:43 – 1:05] sheli =  [ shin+ lamed + yud]   [  ש + ל + י];
    • ani sheli; atah shelakh [shin + lamed +khaf_sofit]  [ ש +ל +ך], at shelaak (same as for atah –nikud and inflection),  hu shelo [shin + lamed + vav]  [ ש + ל + ו ],   he shelah  [shin + lamed + hei]  [ ש + ל + ה]  Singular
      • anuknu shelanu  [shin + lamed  + nun + vav]  [ ש + ל + נ + ו ] ;  atem shelakhem  [shin + lamed + khaf + mem_sofit]  [ש +ל + כ + ם ],  aten shelakhen [shin + lamed + khaf + nun_sofit]  [ש +ל+ כ+ן ], hem shelahem  [shin + lamed + hei + mem-sofit [ ש + ל + ה + ם] ,  hen shelahen [shin + lamed + hei + nun_sofit]  [ ש + ל   + ה +ן] [1:08] Plural

    • [1:09]  These words always appear after the noun; the noun must be definite, as in the case above “the friend,” and preceded by Ha.

      • e.g.  *HaYeladim shelakhem… The children of… Their children *capitalized only for emphasis
      • e.g.  HaSafer she’lah…  Her book
      • e.g.  HaMachshev shelaak…  His computer

    • [1:28]  Adverbs: discussion continues.  There are several ways to form them in Hebrew.  1.  Use as an adj . w/o any change;  2.  When used as an adverb, it follows the verb.

      • e.g.  ‘tov’ = good, is an adj.  yet, the statement: ani yodea ivrit tov.  I know Hebrew well.  ‘tov is used as an adverb modifying the degree to which one knows Hebrew–“well”. [1:40]
      • e.g.  ‘mitzuyan/mitzooyan’ = excellent/great!  hen, makirot aoto_mitzuyan.  They know him extremely well.  [1:53]
      • e.g.  ‘qasheah‘ = hard/difficult.  anoknu avodim qasheah.  We work hard. [2:05]
      • e.g. ‘yashar’ = straight.  aten holikot yashar.  You go straight.  You’re walking straight. You’re going straight.  [2:19]
        

        ---

      • e.g. ‘tzareck’  =  things needed.  or actions required.   hu tzareck hoolzah cha’da’sha.  He needs a new shirt.  [3:54]

    • [2:31]  Adverbs: discussion continues.  There is another way to form an adverb in Hebrew. 

      ---

      Use the  letter bet[ ב ] ba: (sounds like bay) and used with a noun.  ba+noun. (It is the second-letter “b” with the nikkud/points).  (Often written as b’….)

      • e.g. ‘simcha’  = happy/joy/happiness. adv- ba’simcha = in happiness b’simcha.   hu holek levakr at_a’frat ba’simcha.  He goes to visit Efrat happily.  [2:37]

    • [2:51]  While some words, always are used- only as adverbs. 

      • e.g.  ‘yamina’ = to the right [2:58]  formed from yamin = right.  lefnot yamina.  [to] Make a right turn.  To turn right.  lefnot = to turn.  (Written also as lephnot.)
      • e.g.  ‘smola’ = to the left [3:11] or left– formed from the word smol = left.  lefnot smola.  [to] Make a left turn… to turn left.

Learning Hebrew. A Series. Week 11 Lesson 11: “I Have A Brother” “Have & Has”

Hebrew

Shalom everyone:  “Ma nishma?”   This week in Lesson  11, we learn to show possession: “I have a family, a brother; a sister.”     We  are concentrating on how to say – who one has in their family.  We are at Week 11 and Lesson 11 — “I Have A Brother.”  Please, note the following:  If you have trouble viewing the page, select another way to view it  like tablet view or phone view vs the desktop view.

• 

Lesson Synopsis & Overview

Within this lesson of Hebrew and vocabulary, we are learning the possessive form, of saying I have or I do not have these family members.  We will learn how to address certain members of our family, i.e. aunt(s), uncle(s).   This is Lesson 11:  “I Have a Brother – Possessive Form & Family“.  Opening directions begin at [0:40].

Reminder:  Verbs, reflect only three tenses: past, present, future.  They have different characteristics and use voice inflections to differentiate between a statement and a question.  They are represented in four gender forms:  masculine- [singular and plural]; feminine- [singular and plural.]

However,  In this lesson the  “L” the lamed  ל  takes on various characteristics and it adjusts with the pronouns usage.  The voice inflections will change, all though the letter accompanying the lamed will remain the same.  The Points-Nikud, stylize this, and directs the accommodating voice inflections.

Review of Pronouns

masculine singular • feminine singular • masculine plural • feminine plural

1. Ani (m/f) – I — first person [s]
2. Anoknu (m/f) – we — first person [pl]
3. Atah- you (m-s); –second person
4. At- you (f-s); –second person
5. Atem- you (m-pl); –second person
6. Aten-  you (f-pl); –second person

The Review

Review post today.

Daniel’s lesson review work is done in cursive.  However, it is not the cursive style that he taught.  I wanted to add Part I: A review of the alef-bet, and Part II: A review of the writings in the everyday cursive.  These lessons are broken down into two parts.
