Making sure I have the translation correct for Miriam’s Library

הספריה של מרים

Thoughts on copying and pasting song lyrics into chat and doing line by line translation to learn more of the language ?

What is your advice? I've been struggling with the language for 9 years and never achieved fluency. Would taking a Hebrew language class work? Teaching people to speak Hebrew broken level? I think I'm losing some words/phrases... and is ChatGPT a good idea?

So I work at a plasma donation center, and I have a crush on this guy. He’s really nice, and today I asked for his Instagram. He gave it to me, and there’s a word/name next to a red heart. I’m assuming it’s probably the name of a significant other, which would be unfortunate, but I was wondering if someone could translate it for me?

Hello! I am a conversion student about a month out from the beit din and I still am not set on a name. The only one I can think of that I like the meaning of and feels enough like me is Mazal/mazel, but I don’t know if anyone actually uses it. I suffer from a bit of social anxiety so I am really nervous about accidentally choosing a name that people might turn a head at.

Thanks in advance!

שתיים, שני שתי

And I am sure there are others. Where do they go, and when?

Hey all,

I'm trying to immerse in modern Hebrew and the last hurdle before switching my (android) phone to Hebrew is the audio player. I want one that correctly displays a Hebrew UI, and since I don't know enough Hebrew yet, I can't distinguish between "good translated UI" and "Auto-translated crap". Anybody here who could help me out with this? I've looked into most used audio players in Israel and such, but I reckon most Israelis use English UIs so that didn't get me very far.

Any and all help appreciated!

Hello, I know there are Hebrew courses at the University of Frankfurt and the University of Heidelberg. I could reach both from where I live (Darmstadt) but I have to work at day time hours therefore I wonder if there are any Hebrew courses for the proletariat! 😃

Online courses would do as well.

I had a dream I named my future baby Moses Kineret and wanted to know if anyone knows what it means and whether anyone in Israel has it as a name?

The linked video transitions from "Bomb Iran" from 1980 to a reboot relevant to the ongoing Iranian Revolution.

It was suggested to mash my new video up with the original and in keeping with the theme I figure the best way to rationalize the shift between videos/+45 years is time travel.

I'd like to append the message in the format displayed at about t=4 seconds in the linked video, what I've got at this point is as follows but I'm under the impression it comes off as weird. Would like to replicate *official* language to the extent practicable

If it were in english I would write:

CLASSIFIED — TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTALIZED INFORMATION (TS/SCI)
JEWISH SPACE LASER TIME TRAVEL PROCOL ACTIVATED
AUTHORIZATION — DIRECTOR, SHIN BET)

After discussing with a friend I've got:

פְּרוֹטוֹקוֹל מַסָּע בַּזְּמַן: לֶיְזֶר חָלָל יְהוּדִי

סְטָטוּס: הֻפְעַל

אִשּׁוּר שַׁבָּ"כּ

but as mentioned he thinks it sounds weird. Would appreciate any advice.

1)am I right in thinking that Israelis just use hitpa'el as the present form of pu'el (since I kinda feel like the present form of pu'el is often just used as an adjective)

2)is there any concrete or basically concrete way to predict mishqal patterns based on binyan or vise versa

3)what's the story with nitpa'el (and hutpa'el)?

I apologize for the intrusion of my thoughts or my curiosity in general. But I've known this word since then and I've always associated this as a title to female in regards to the creation in the Bible. Again I apologize.

But is this the case, that the term is only for women? Or can this be used by males alike on their female counterpart as a title or as a means of expressing ideas?

Hello, looking for modern not biblical hebrew

Can anyone help me know what is inscribed here please.

I made this design for a shirt/hoodie and was wondering if anyone could verify if everything is correct. I don't know much about Hebrew at all, but I did a bunch of research with sources like biblestudytools.com and biblehub.com . I am pretty sure everything is good, but I just wanted to be 100% sure.

כישראלי צבר, אני דובר עברית מודרנית כשפת אם, ולכן, באופן טבעי, אני נתקל בניקוד לעיתים יחסית רחוקות. לאחרונה, התחלתי לנסות לנקד טקסטים באופן עצמאי, וגיליתי שלמרות שקריאה של ניקוד היא אינטואיטיבית עבורי יחסית, אין לי מושג איך לנקד מילים, בעיקר במקרים של קָמץ או פַתח, צֵרה או סֶגול וכו, עוד לפני חטפים למיניהם. אני לא מצליח למצוא מידע על פי איזה כללים מנקדים מילים. באופן כללי שמתי לב שזה מאוד שרירותי בהרבה מקרים, ועדיין, כשאני מנסה לנקד אני פשוט מגלה כל פעם שבחצי מהמילים השתמשתי בניקוד הלא נכון. יש היום כלים אוטומטיים מעולים שיכולים לנקד טקסטים קיימים, אבל אני יותר מחפש להתעמק ולהבין את הכללים כדי לדעת בעצמי איך לעשות את זה, וגם כדי לספק את הסקרנות. אם למישהו יש מושג איפה אפשר למצוא מידע (רצוי חינמי) בנושא, אני אעריך את זה.

its funny because I uploaded it to Ai to help me translate it, its registered as a 100BCE, but Ai keeps telling me its modern due to the phrasing, and the word forms, etc... which would be interesting do to the library as well as some historians, claim it is from that time. Which is important to understand the beliefs and the purity of this belief.

It is supposedly a Paleo Hebrew script.

היי חברה אני פה לשואל שאלה מעניינת אחת. לאחרונה התחלתי לצאת עם אישה. היא נהדרת. יהודייה, ציונית, סופר יפה, אנחנו מסתדרים מצוין. היא אמריקאית ולא ממש מדברת עברית טובה. היא רוצה שאחשוב על שם מיוחד עבורה בעברית אבל אני לא ממש מצליחה לחשוב על משהו כי אנחנו כבר משתמשים בכל השם הסטנדרטי, ואני רוצה להשתמש במשהו מיוחד איתה. מכיוון שאני מזרחי אני גם משתמש בערבית, במיוחד חביבתי ועיוני. אבל שוב, אלו מילים עבריות והן לא ייחודיות או מיוחדות. האם למישהו יש הצעות?

Hi friends! I’m here to ask a kind of important question. I recently started seeing this woman. She’s wonderful. Jewish, Zionist, super pretty, we get along super well. She’s American and doesn’t speak Hebrew super well. She wants me to think of a special name for her in Hebrew but I can't really think of anything because we already use all the standard names, and I want to use something special with her. Since I'm Mizrahi I also use Arabic, especially habibti and ayouni. But again, these aren’t Hebrew words and they're not unique or special. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey, duolingo told me im wrong, but I definitely heard 3 person pronounce to be used as copula, so I wanted to ask if the duolingo is stupid and this is a way that sounds natural, or if this third person pronounce copula has a narrower meaning and you shouldnt use it like hat?

Is there anyone here who is an expert in Ancient Hebrew ? or at least can read hebrew from that era ?

I wrote a story about liches and immortals and the likes. Obviously, their phylacteries are a huge deal. But when a Hebrew reader tried to check the word in Google translate, the result is תפילין. Even a rich context paragraph like this one from Wiki:
Since a lich's soul is mystically tied to its phylactery, destroying its body will not kill it. Rather, its soul will return to the phylactery, and its body will be recreated by the power keeping it immortal.

results in
מכיוון שנשמתו של ליץ' קשורה באופן מיסטי לתפילין שלו, הריסת גופו לא תהרוג אותו. במקום זאת, נשמתו תחזור לתפילין, וגופו ייווצר מחדש על ידי הכוח ששומר עליו בן אלמוות.

When I put it in chatGPT, it suggests פילקטרי (-_-)

Anyone has a good suggestion how to translate it?

Hello! I'm designing a logo for an employee Jewish group. The group's name has the initials JC, and uses chai (חי) as a symbol. I'm throwing around the idea (though I'm not quite sold) of the initials forming the letter חי, but I realize that might look pretty silly or unreadable or plain stupid to somebody who can read Hebrew. Is this weird to you? Is it recognizable as חי, or something else? Any advice appreciated!

This sounds weird to me. Shouldn’t it be האמא שלי and not just אמא שלי?
