@#8046 - I don't actually know; משוגע means "insane", but I don't know what the history of the word מניאק in Hebrew is (hence the question). (more) |

| Question | — |
Why is the word "maniac" considered such a strong insult in Hebrew? When I first moved to Israel, one of the first things I was warned about was using the word "maniac". As an American, this is considered a very minor insult - minor enough for little kids to use without a problem, at least. In Israel, though, the transliteration מניאק has connotation of a much str...

Why is the word here "HaNofelet" and not "HaNofalet" when there's a grammatical pause?

Why do only certain letters have an ending form in Hebrew? There's a list of certain letters in Hebrew that have a different form if they're at the end of a word - much like capital letters at the beginning of a sentence in English, but only for specific letters and at the end of a word. פ becomes ף,‎ נ becomes ן, and so on. It's called a סופית (sofit... (more) |

Is there a difference between when I should use "אוטו" vs "רכב"? I speak Hebrew as a second language, and probably worse than most people expect - I live in Israel, but my Hebrew is still not that great. I ride with a cycling team, and one thing that we do is to shout if there's a car on the road, to alert the other riders to be careful. I have at times shoute... (more) |
