In Hebrew, nouns, adjectives, and verbs are strictly gendered!




For example, in Russian, it is impossible to determine by the phrase “I am learning Hebrew” whether it belongs to a man or a woman. This is not possible in Hebrew. Therefore, we must remember that in Hebrew, feminine and masculine verbs are written and pronounced differently (they have different endings).


"Ani lomed Hebrew" - I'm learning Hebrew (male)


"Ani lomedet Hebrew" - I'm learning Hebrew (female)


"Ani medaber ivrit" - I speak Hebrew (male)


"Ani medaberet ivrit" - I speak Hebrew (female)


*Often in the present tense, the feminine verb differs from the masculine by the ending "et".

Note!


Hebrew does not have a fixed word order in a sentence, like English or German. The way of constructing phrases in Hebrew is very similar to Russian.





As we already know, Hebrew is written from right to left. All letters of the alphabet are consonants.


And the role of vowels is performed by vocalizations - special icons that are placed in educational and religious texts.
