Learn the Hebrew Alphabet ~ Lesson 8
By Jeff A. Benner

Consonants

The "tsade" is pronounced "ts" as in pots.


The final "tsade" is the form used when the letter appears at the end of a word and is also pronounced "ts".


The "quph" is pronounced "q" as in quiet.


Vowels

A combination of the Sheva and the Patahh. The vowel works the same as the "sheva" with a pronunciation of "a" as in father, when placed under the first consonant of the word.



Notes

  1. The first word in Genesis 1:14 below is vay-yo-mer, the dagesh present in the letter yud doubles it.

  2. The first word in the second line of Gensis 1:14 is leh-hav-diyl. The dagesh inside the dalet is common but it is not doubled and has no impact on how the letter is pronounced.
