Verse:Tdūrzů/Hebrew: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

** You might hear ''yeš li [LANGUAGE]'' for 'I speak [LANGUAGE]':

*** A: ''Šalom, ha-yeš lăxa Azalis?'' 'Hello, do you speak English?'

*** B: ''Yeš.'' 'I do.'

*** B: ''Yeš./Eyn.'' 'I do./I do not.'

* Question particles (''ha2im'', ''ha-'' in more formal contexts) are usually retained. Questions don't have a different intonation from declarative sentences; they both have falling intonation. Question marks are not usually used.

* It also prefers some coincidentally Gaelic-sounding words, e.g. אַךְ ''ach'' 'but' and שָׂשׂ ''sas'' 'happy' (sounding like Judeo-Gaelic ''ach'' 'but' and ''sostă'' 'satisfied') instead of the synonyms אֲבָל ''aval'' and שָׂמֵחַ ''sameax''. כה ''ko'' is as common as כל כך ''kul káx'' for 'so (ADJ)'.
