@@danetteperez3863 thank you so much for the comment and for subscribing! If you’re interested in a textbook that is accessible and informed by a similar approach, you can find a link to purchase my textbook and the companion A/V files in the comments to each grammar video.
Thank you for your reply and advice. I really appreciate that. Yes, I am going to order the A/V Companion File along with the book as soon as possible. תודה רבה לך על עזרתך
Shalom. I am using the textbook, which I wrote with GlossaHouse, titled Biblical Hebrew: an interactive approach. You can find it (along with its A/V Companion files) at this website: www.glossahouse.com/haarets. Todah!
Thank you very much for this explanation. I have a question. When a dagash forte can be used MUST it be used? For some reason I’m still having trouble discerning the pattern.
That is more the case for the dagesh lene. It will appear whenever it can, which is when it follows silence-either a closed syllable, the start of a word, or following a pause (as a subtle indication of punctuation). The dagesh forte is an indication of some sort of grammatical aspect of the word. Its essential function is to double the letter it appears in (hence the forte “strong”). The dagesh lene mostly is a pronunciation guide for the BeGeDKePheT letters. The dagesh forte is a grammatical indicator of various sorts. Is that helpful?
How does one know which kind of dagesh is in יִכְתְּבוּ yichtevu they m. will write? The double sh'va is throwing me off a little because I know the first of two consecutive dageshim is silent.
Yes, you are correct that the first is silent and the second is vocalized. You know the dagesh in your example is a dagesh lene BECAUSE it follows a silent shva. A dagesh forte must follow a vowel, and dagesh lene will not follow a vowel (other than a silent shva). The dagesh lene will appear in a BeGeDKePHeT letter at the beginning of a syllable that does not follow an open syllable.
Thank you so much for this video. I love your videos and want to order the book. I have recently returned to Brazil from Ulpan Petach Tikva Israel. I am now trying to start my Hebrew biblical studies. I know the difference the dagesh makes in pronunciation in the letters ב כ פ, but not in the other letters. Does the book show it?
Good question! Yes the textbook covers that and a host of other information. The short answer is: the other three letters (ג ד ת) are not affected in their pronunciation by the presence or absence of the dagesh, only the three you identified. I'm glad you find the videos helpful; I hope you will also find the textbook helpful! Follow the link in the video description to purchase the book. I encourage you to purchase the Companion A/V Files along with the book, which I think you will find helpful/essential to learning the language. בהצלחה!
This word would be pronounced “mee-pa-DAN.” The first dagesh makes the pe’ pronounced with a “hard” P sound (instead of a “ph”), but the dalet’s pronunciation is not affected by the dagesh.
Best explanation of the Dagestan! Thank you. It is saved . And I will rewatch.
Also subscribed because your teaching method is the kind I need

how to prounce two dagesh forte in single word ex. מִפַּדָּ֗ן
This word would be pronounced “mee-pa-DAN.” The first dagesh makes the pe’ pronounced with a “hard” P sound (instead of a “ph”), but the dalet’s pronunciation is not affected by the dagesh.
