Does someone have any spelling tricks or tips on which letter to write when there are two different letters for the same or very similar sound? (If its the same or just similar depends an your accent or dialect )
Like with โchโ sound. If you have a word with that sound is it possible to know which letter to use in writing: ื vs ื?
โchโ: ื vs ื
"t": ื vs ืช
"s": ืฉ vs ืก
"k": ืง vs ื
not to mention the vowelsโฆ
Actually with the โtโ there are some spelling tips I know already:
words that came from other languages are with ื
ืืืคืื-telephone, ืืืืืืื-television, ืกืืืื ื -studentโฆ
When in doubt it is suggested to use a ืช since itโs more common.
Like with English, a lot of it is kind of arbitrary, based on the history of the word. However, if you know the roots, that can often help. For example, the word for โa letterโ (as in the thing you send by mail) is ืืืชื with a โchโ sound for the ื, but if you realize that itโs one of the words from the root ื-ืช-ื which all relate to writing - most of which have a โkโ sound for the ื - then you can easily remember that this word has a ื not a ื. For example, โI writeโ = โืื ื ืืืชืโ (ani kotev), with a โkโ sound. If you remember that there are a bunch of words related to writing that all have that ื-ืช-ื and many of them have a k sound, then you realize that ืืืชื is probably one of those.
Thank you, cos, itโs great! I appreciate it.
Do you maybe have more of these?
I love Hebrew, it has so much depth and meaning behind the words. Itโs not just a bunch of letters after each other, they are there for a reason. It is the second best language on the planet from this point of view! I love it!
