Language is a major barrier to globalization. Since every country and state has its language, interacting with other countries requires learning or using translation. Hebrew speakers frequently request software that translates from English to Hebrew in India and other nations.

ok so there's this phenomenon i have encountered with some of my mutuals and now im curious
no option for nosy english speakers come back in a week
#the thing is#i find myself assuming that the other person would prefer to speak english#due to past experiences + i dont always know if they're fluent in hebrew/feel comfortable speaking it#and then there's the pronouns issue#anyway. i think i speak english to about 50% of my local mutuals#now give me your answers#🤎

I'm so fucking tired of people reading into everything that's Jewish or Israeli with bad faith.
I'm also tired of people who have large platforms spreading misinformation
#yes this is about hasan and his twitch stream listening to the “genocidal hip hop song”#like he watched a video with a translation that was incorrect#if you know hebrew or found the video which has the “correct translation” you would know that its not a genocidal song#i put correct in quotations as not every word in any language can have its true meaning be translated into english#also the meaning of the song boiled down is “you fucked around now its time to find out”#also it is a bop#and stilla is hot#new celebrity crush unlocked lol#jumblr#Israel

some of the architecture of zinder, niger. zinder rose from a small hausa village into an important center of trans-saharan trade during the 18th century, culmunating in it becoming the capital of the sultanate of damagaram in 1736.
#niger#hausa#architecture#my posts#in case you didn't know: hausa is a part of the afroasiatic language family (same family semitic langs are in)#there's a lot of theories about how exactly afroasiatic speakers spread & there isn't a consistent cultural/migration pattern#like w/ indo-euro languages#but hasua is probably to arabic/hebrew/syriac what english is to bengali or assamese (except even less similar)#i can pick out some hausa words myself ('sama' is 'heaven') but tbh im not sure how many are loadwords from arabic (since they use#'dunya' for 'world' for example). most hausa are muslim so itd make sense if they took some arabic words

without looking it up, do you know the basics of the chanukah story, meaning the history and reason we celebrate, as opposed to, for example, just knowing that it's a jewish holiday in the winter where we light menorahs
answer using the jewish options if you're in the process of converting
#op#Jew blogging#chanukah#polls#pro gamer tip use the hebrew spelling & two english versions so nobody can start fighting about the spelling

I'd like to blame someone (idk who) for me not realizing that Bethlehem בית לחם literally translates to bread house until two minutes ago while reading shoftim 19
Now I want to go up to christians and tell them their guy Josh was born in Bread House
#sometimes with the like english equivalent and the actual hebrew it#doesn't register the meaning or i don't recognize it as the same word#j#jumblr#i remember really enjoying shoftim for some reason#but my G-D i forgot how fucked up parts are just showcasing the depravity of humanity#i saw a post mentioning this part and so i was like wait is that that part and yeah it's that part

Shoutout to the only dedicated kosher section (as far as I'm aware) in a store in the town I live in. They have Bamba. I'm trying the peanut butter puffs. They kind of taste like my childhood.....

Fun fact!
The longest word in the Hebrew language is ולכשהיתפוגגנה (Wu’lichshe’hitpogagna) and it means “for when they (f) fade away”.
*They (f) = the female version of ‘they’. Yes, there are female and male versions.

It's kinda wack how English only does gender in third person. Like it's got benefits for sure and you don't gotta come up with large sets of neopronouns, but it also robs you of the ability to declare your grammatical gender just by speaking in first person and of the gender euphoria of being correctly gendered in second person by the person you're talking to. It's so rare to hear someone talk about you in third person to hear them gender you. In Japanese, you often even use names instead of second person pronouns, which yeah you can work the names of who you're talking to into sentences in English but not very smoothly or often.
And yes this would give people more opportunities to misgender and deadname you to your face it's not perfect and I'm not saying it would be better overall I just wanna talk about like. Missed opportunities. What if we just started using first and second person neopronouns anyway just because. Ani just decided to use "ani/oti/sheli/atzmi" for atzmi. Don't use "you/your/yourself" for oti, sheli second person pronouns are "thou/thee/thy/thine/thyself".
(This is a joke but on this post ani am committed to the bit and will correct anyone who misgenders oti.)
#sfw#personal#ok to reblog#linguistics#using Hebrew first person pronouns and forcing them to act like English pronouns is so cursed lmao#sheli brain really wants to correct to “habrain sheli”#“for oti” thou meanst “li”??? “bishvi-freaking-li”????#but. this is English and ani am committing to the bit. suffer with me.#English

khan al-umdan (caravanserai of the columns) in acre is one of palestine's best-preserved caravanserai, a type of inn historically common across asia, north africa, the caucuses, and southern europe, especially for travelers along trade routes like the silk road. it was built in 1785 on the order of ottoman governer ahmed pasha al-jazaar (who also has a mosque named for him nearby). the clock tower was added in 1906 to celebrate the silver jubilee of sultan abdul hamid II.
khan al-umdan served as more than just an inn - due to its proximity to acre's port, it also served as a spot for merchants to store and sell wares. it also gained importance to the baha'i faith, as it served as a site where baha'ulla (founder of the religion, he was imprisoned in acre later in life) received guests, and held a baha'i school. many palestinians found refuge inside the khan during the nakba, but were later forcibly expelled and evicted up to the 1980s.
it continues to be used for events today, but not as often as it used to be. despite being a popular tourist attraction and designated as a world heritage site, the caravanserai has also been facing further neglect due to gentrification and has also been in danger of being dispossesed for quite some time now.
#palestine#architecture#my posts#the word ''khan'' in arabic and hebrew has the same origin as ''caravanserai''#no relation to mongolic/turkic ''khan'' (king) (which has no relation to english ''king''/german ''kaiser''/etc)#also the world center for baha'i is in acre too.. they get a lot of shit across the me unfortunately especially iran where it originated#palestine also has a pretty substantial ahmadiyya population for a middle eastern country. the leader managed to convert quite a few#families in the 1920s while visiting#and ofc there's the druze which is a whole other thing
