Happy Hebrew עברית בשמחה Lesson 3. final letters Mem, Nun

Happy Hebrew  עברית בשמחה  Lesson 3   

מ   is the M sound 

נ    is the N sound 

Final letters of מ ם    נ   ן  sound the same. 

Letters that we have learned up to now: 

א  ה  י  מ  ם  נ  ן  ר  ת 

There are a few letters in Hebrew that have a different form when they are used at the end of a word. 

We have learned two letters מ   נ  that have a different form.  ם    ן 

Mem מ with all the vowels;

מִ	מֵ	מֶ	מַ	מָ
mee	mey	meh	ma	maaa
	מְ	מֻ	מוּ	מוֹ
	mhe	mou	mou	moh

Nun נ with all the vowels:

נִ	נֵ	נֶ	נַ	נָ
nee	ney	neh	naa	naaaa
	נְ	נֻ	נוּ	נוֹ
	nhe	nu	nu	no

Most of the time these final letters don't take a vowel, and the mouth is closed when we finish saying a word that has this letter. 

יָם   yam   a sea 

Say this word, notice how your mouth ends up closed.  This is what we call a closed syllable. 

Another word is 

 יַיִן yaaeen  wine

Say this word, your mouth ends up closed. 

Here are some more words that use these final letters: 

מָן  man  manna 

מַיִם mayim  water 

Now we will learn some new words: 

מָה ma   What ? Question word 

מַהֵר  maheir   fast 

נָאֶה naeh  nice, pleasant handsome (mas sing)

נָהָר nahar  a river, a stream 

Sentences with our new words: 

   

מָתַי אַתָּה מַהֵר.	מתי אתה מהר.	matti ata maheir.		Matti you are fast.
נִיר אַתה נָאֶה.	ניר אתה נאה.	nir at naah		Nir, you are handsome.
!יַיִן? אַההה, מַיִם	! יין? .אההה, מים	yaanin? Ah, mayim!		Wine? Ah, water!
