yiheyeh beseder 



 

 

hou shavar et ha regel shelo

**********

                                    Shalom Lior. Mah nishma?
                                    Shalom Dani. Shamata she Roni be bait cholim?
                                    Lo, lo shamati. Mah karah? Hou choleh?
                                    Lo, hou lo chole. Hou shavar et ha regel shelo.
                                    Mah omer ha rofeh?
                                    Amar she yihyeh beseder be'od shalosh shavu'ot.

**********

quite a few new words today:


bait cholim                hospital
choleh                        ill /sick (masc.)  
cholah                        ill/sick (fem.)
hou shavar                 he broke
et                                direct object marker
regel                           leg
rofeh                          doctor (masc.)    
rofah                          doctor (fem.)
yiheyeh                      he will be / it will be
yiheyeh beseder         he will be OK / it will be OK
be'od                          in
shavu'ah                     week
shavou'ot                   weeks

**********

 

she = that

The 'e' is pronounced as in leg.

 

the future of  'to be'

she will be / it will be   =  tiheyeh

he will be / it will be     = yiheyeh

et  =  direct object marker
the 'et' needs some time to get used to and we'll talk more about it soon
it is used to introduce a direct object
(in German you'd have a direct object ending to the noun and in Hebrew
it appears as a particle in front of the noun which it marks as a direct object)

lesson 86: future tense (1)

future tense (1)

ha atid shel anashim?

today we'll start tackling the future tense with six well behaved verbs. To demonstrate how they work I will have to use two hebrew letters we don't have in the latin alphabet: the 'alef  א     and the 'ain  ע

So far I used the apostrophe ' to signal the presence of either 'alef or 'ain because it doesn't make a difference in the pronunciation but to understand the future tense we have to be more precise to see the underlying consonant structure of the verbs.

so, the followin examples will look a bit strange because I am mixing the two alphabets
 (but underneath each bold line there will be the usual transcription/pronuncation in brackets.)

ok, so here comes the construction of

the first person singular in the future tense:

in Hebrew the future tense is constructed with prefixes

 and the sign for the first person singular it is the

 א

the three          3rd p. sg. masc.   1st p. sg. masc.       1st p. sg.                 
consonants      past tense             present tense          future tense

X X X  -  XaXaX       XoXeX       אeXXeX

r tz h   -   ratzah    -   rotzeh    -   אertzeh   -  I will want
                                                                                       ('ertzeh)

ע s h    -   עasah     -    עoseh    -    אeעeseh   -  I will do
                         'assah                      'osseh                   ('e'esseh)

sh t h  -   shatah    -   shoteh    -   אeshteh      -   I will drink
                                                                                    ('eshteh)

k n h   -   kanah     -   koneh    -   אekneh   -   I will buy
                                                                                     ('ekneh)

r א h   -   raאah      -   roאeh     -   אerאeh   -   I will see
                         (ra'ah)                    (ro'eh)                    ('er'eh)

s ch h  -  sachah     -  socheh   -   אescheh    - I will swim
                                                                                   ('es-cheh)



look closely at the very regular 3 root consonant structure of these verbs and how the vowels show wether its present, past or future

vowels for the past: a - a
vowels for the present: o - e
vowels for the future: e - e


now wouldn't it be great if all verbs adhered to these rules? Unfortunately they don't. They do all sorts of things and take different vowels and what have you, but it's not as bad as it sounds and we'll do it very slowly with lots of examples.
