Watch your Language | Language Overview: Hebrew ***old version*** @watchyourlanguage3870 | Uploaded February 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Remake of this video (watch this instead): youtu.be/-_7K2UBwTzs?si=Y9gAO0vOhYhz3sBo
Most significant mistakes I made in the video:
1. Numbers 20 and above don’t agree with gender.
2. The infinitive form of “can” is לוכל (lukhal).
3. The passive form of להתכונן (l’hitkonen) is מוכן, just like להכין (l’hakin). What I said, מכוון (m’khuvan), is of להתכוון (l’hitkaven), which means “intend” (the passive form means “intended”).
4. In the end, I said מוחים (mokhim). It’s actually מוחות (mokhot).

Translations from video:
0:00 “Hi”
0:51 “‘Anyone here speak Yiddish?’ ‘Or Arabic?’ ‘No, but all of us speak Hebrew!’ ‘So there’s our answer!’”
1:12 “‘I couldn’t speak fluently until I was 4, thanks Dad” (sarcastic)
2:29 “But still in Hebrew”
2:31 “When someone reads [God’s name] phonetically’”
2:54 “‘That’s not it, idiots, wash all the sin out y’all’s mouths!’”
3:48 “‘Don’t worry guys, Hebrew’s got y’all’”
3:57 “Non-Jews keep thinking that Hebrew is written in the same direction as English”
Crypt at 4:05: “To an English speaker with no prior knowledge, this is essentially what reading Hebrew would be like. Good luck. But it’s not actually that difficult when you understand the patterns and have a lot of practice.”
4:18 *Just a list of singular masculine present tense conjugations*
4:50 “‘One letter represents /i/ and /j/.’ ‘I can see that.’”
4:56 “How can a letter that represents /v/ also represent /o/ and /u/?!”
5:19 “I understand now- a sound shift happened to Hebrew”
6:00 Samekh (the letter that makes only the /s/ sound): “Hey, that’s my job!”
Any Mongols meme: “We are the exception!”
6:57 “‘Does Alef exist?’ ‘Ya, clearly.’”
7:15 “One does not simply begin a Hebrew word with a vowel”
9:13 Stamp: “Always”
9:37 Top: “Feminine gender” Bottom: “Words”
10:23 Stamp: “Just some of the time”
13:43 “Yalla (C’mon!)”
18:08 Stamp: “Easy”
20:48 “Give me more suffixes!!!”
