Articles

Here I'm going to publish articles speaking of everything that is not covered by other sections. Some of the articles might be giving explanations to those who is not complitely satisfied with the quick-and-dirty approach of the "Read-and-Understand" part of this site, neither covered by the beginner's "Speak!" section.

 

What It Is, and What It Is Not

It's not going to be a boring and systematic teaching, neither I come to compete with classics like prof. Thomas Lambdin or Wilhelm
Gesenius. I doubt I can do a better job than Gesenius in telling all the details in a systematic way, and certainly I won't be able to
repeat professor Lambdin's work. I'm just going to have some fun
telling the others what I know about this amazing language, and hope
you will enjoy the reading. Cool

I'll try cover some of the non-so-obvious topics, which are typically skipped in Israeli ulpanim. Whatever is your background in Hebrew, come in and enjoy!

 

Slang and more

Sometimes it's not even considered "slang", but rather the words in common use. To give an example from American English, when you say "sir" and "mister"? It might be pretty obvious for native language speakers, but not for the foreigners. Or another example, what's the real difference between "highway" and "freeway"? When you say "buddy", and when it's a "dude"? And what's the exact difference between "dude" and "pal"?

Hope this gives you some idea..

By the way, did you know that in 60's it was common thing in Israel (at least in kibbutzim) to call each other חבר (comrade)? Did you know, that in 90's young people were calling each other אחי (like "bro"), and in the beginning of 2000's it's been replaced by אח שלי ("my brother")? Cool

Do you know what is an אסימון? They disappeared when public telephones started to use electronic cards, and the whole concept became really hard to explain when Israelis started to buy cell phones.

There are a lot of aspects like this in any language, and that's another thing I'd like to cover in my articles.

With this increase in population cheap web hosting and availability of labor came an increase in labor specialization.What triggered the progression from early Neolithic villages to the wireless internet first cities, such as Uruk, and the first civilizations, such as Sumer, is not specifically known; however, the emergence of increasingly hierarchical social structures, the specialization of labor, trade dedicated server and war amongst adjacent cultures, and the need for collective action to overcome environmental challenges, such as the building of dikes and reservoirs, vps hosting are all thought to have played a role.
