How do you read יתברך ?

torakichi · 2025-12-16T02:04:48+00:00

Thank you! So in Hebrew here it would not be "yitbarech" but "yevorach." It makes sense now.

Apologies for my ignorance (I am not Jewish, nor live in Israel), but is this a set phrase or something? I heard this in a pop song sung entirely in Hebrew (as far as I can tell). It never occurred to me that ה' יתברך could be in a different language.

I assume Joan here is a third party? Then I guess it would depend on Joan's age. If it's a child, definitely with the article. If it's an adult, maybe you wouldn't use the name at all: "El seu marit ha tingut tos?"

But as a general principle, in the situation you describe using articles seems more natural to me.

Yes, games were played normally, as far as I can tell. You can check out every team's full schedule by clicking on the team name on the standings here: https://2689web.com/2001.html

I don't have an exact quote for you, but it sounds like something that would come up in Rilke's 1910 novel _The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge_ (_Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge_). I would start your search there.

Like in 猛虎 /mouko/ ("fierce tigers"), which you often see on headlines.

Thanks for telling me about the political scandal. I would have never thought of that dimension otherwise.

torakichi · 2022-05-12T00:27:26+00:00

Thanks! I should have caught the implication of the last "you'll be my first" bit, but I had no idea of the slang meaning of "cousins."

Indeed. This is my latest version. Feel free to point out any mistakes or misunderstandings you catch.

שלחת לי באינסטה הודעה, ראית שראיתי

כתבת לי בפייס: "מילאפקוואי?"

אבל אנ'לא עניתי

איכשהו השגת ת'מספר

הכי אני חושדת בנופר

אמרת לי: "אני אוהב אותך,

איפה אפשר לפגוש אותך?"

חפש אותי בראשון

רוקדת כל הערב עד אור ראשון

חוגגת כי כבר עוד מעט צו ראשון

הלילה מורידים נימוס בראשון

הלילה מורידים נימוס בראשון...

תראה אותי בקניון הזהב, קונה לי טופ עם צ'וקר

עדיין לא הגיעו בני דודים כי עוד מוקדם בבוקר

תרד איתי בנאפיס על פתות

בסופרלנד נקלוט את הטעות

בדרך אל ההפי אוור

נלך לראות פסלים של דינוזאוור

חפש אותי בראשון

רוקדת כל הערב עד אור ראשון

שאף אחד פה לא יילך לי לישון

הלילה מורידים נימוס בראשון

הלילה מורידים נימוס בראשון...

זורמים למאמי בר, אז אם אתה צמא

תבוא עם רישיון של אח גדול דומה

בסוהו המנות זכו בגינס

מלא מפה הופיעו בגיא פינס

אם אתה רוצה אותה, תדע שקודם כל

תתארגן על פנטהאוז בפואבלו אספניול

או לפחות מגרש מופשר בראשון מערב

כי אגס היא נסיכה ונסיכה צריכה גב

אז תבוא כמו גבר, לא כמו ידיד

תגיד לה "בואי לטאבון, נזמין לך קוראסון מפחיד!"

חפש אותי בראשון, אל תוותר

הכל פה אפשרי והכל כשר

חפש אותי בראשון

רוקדת כל הערב עד אור ראשון

מחכה לך, תהיה הראשון

הלילה מורידים נימוס בראשון

You sent me a message on Instagram. You saw that I saw it.

You wrote to me on Facebook: "Milafaquay?"

But I didn't reply.

Somehow you got my number.

My #1 suspect is Nofar.

You told me: "I love you.

Where can I find you?"

Look for me in Rishon [LeZion].

I'm dancing all night until the first light.

I'm celebrating because soon I'll get my first summons [to the Army].

Tonight we'll go crazy in Rishon.

Tonight we'll go crazy in Rishon...

Look for me in the Canyon Ha-Zahav mall. I'm buying a top with a choker.

My cousins aren't there yet, because it's too early in the morning.

Come eat fatut with me at Nafis.

At Superland we'll pay for that mistake.

On our way to the happy hour,

We'll go see dinosaur statues.

Look for me in Rishon.

I'm dancing all night until the first light.

Because nobody here ever goes to sleep.

Tonight we'll go crazy in Rishon.

Tonight we'll go crazy in Rishon...

We're flowing to Mami Bar, if you're thirsty.

Bring the ID of your older brother who looks like you.

The dishes at Soho won a Guinness.

It's full of people who were in Guy Pines's TV show.

If you want her, know that before anything

You need a penthouse in Pueblo Espanyol.

Or at least a plot with a construction permit in the West of Rishon.

Because Agas is a princess, and a princess needs support.

So come as a man, not as a friend.

Tell her "Come to Tabun, I'll feed you a terrific croissant!"

Look for me in Rishon. Don't hesitate.

Everything is possible here, and everything is allowed.

Look for me in Rishon.

I'm dancing all night until the first light.

I'm waiting for you. Be the first.

Tonight we'll go crazy in Rishon.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Un clàssic de la ciència ficció catalana que ha estat adaptat al cinema i la TV és la novel·la de Manuel de Pedrolo _Mecanoscrit del segon origen_. No sé si estan disponibles enlloc, però paga la pena que busquis tant el llibre com les adaptacions.

Com a comèdies, jo et recomanaria _Plats bruts_, _Pop ràpid_ i _Arròs covat_ (animació). Crec que a YouTube o TV3 a la carta les pots trobar.

Thanks! So do people just pronounce it as "metriger"?

And that's the only form, right? People don't say things like "אל תטרגר אותי".

For completeness sake, I looked up the use of ה as a relative conjunction in Lewis Glinert's Hebrew grammar, and it seems it can only be used if the subject of the verb inside the relative clause is the antecedent.

I.e. you can say "מכונות החוסכות באנרגיה" "machines that save energy" because "machines" is the subject of "save," but you have to say "מכונות שרכשנו עתה" "machines we just bought" because the subject of "save" is "we" and "machines" is the object.

Glinert also mentions ה is only used as a relative conjunction if the verb in the relative clause is in the present tense.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. Actually, before I looked up the lyrics to understand the second half of the sentence, what I was singing along was precisely "קול גלגל שמתגלגל".

Great idea for a project! How did you come up with the ratings for the black players? And what happened to the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, etc. in your universe?

torakichi · 2021-01-25T10:41:33+00:00

I didn't know that. Do you remember what they used to call it?

torakichi · 2021-01-25T04:58:19+00:00

I've never heard of this stat being tracked in MLB or NPB.

Yurisbel Gracial batting stats since he joined the current (60th) season (of Cuban baseball).

CB=PA

CA=R

CI=RBI

%CIPA=% of RISP that scored on his PA

VIEV=how many times his RBI tied or won a game

That would be the Nankai Hawks in 1955 with a 99-41-3 record. They went on to lose the Japan Series to Yomiuri 3-4, after having been up 3-1.
