Why do Japs keep using Hebrew as some kind of magical language?
There are no jews in japan so its nice and exotic
The same way the west uses chinese and japanaese characters as some magical language

Because in the past people used to think words had magic in them and used them in rituals. Compare with the way we use our contemporary languages: totally like trash.
Old alphabets and syllabuses are certainly still charged with huge amounts of magic people used to cultivate in them.

its like saying dafaq, noob, or something like that. it isn't a word. its a corruption and a typo of a existing word. sure it might be used occasionally but its not part of the English language.
>>143416021
Ein ein-sof isn't there is no end. Ein means no, Ein-sof means infinity (no-end). so it should translate to "no infinity" (there is no infinity, probably) meaning there is actually an end.

Writing צפור instead of ציפור isn't exactly a typo, it's just that they would have to add a diacritic under the צ which they forgot. It should still be abundantly clear (to anyone who speaks Hebrew) that they meant "bird" and not the verb for sounding a horn.
>>143418560
Your silly excuses will get you nowhere.
Honk.
>>143418615
I should add that even if it were "honk", it wouldn't be honk as a noun. It would actually be the command form of the verb, as in "Honk, Chen, honk!".
>>143418646
Some people call that the "imperative" form.
>>143418615
>>143418646
>>143418663
Actually it would be the imperative form where the recipient of the command is a male, so it couldn't even refer to Chen.
If you wanted to tell Chen to honk it would be "צפרי"
>>143418560
From that picture alone without any context? no you wouldn't. only reason you know its a bird was because they were talking about birds.
>>143418646
which makes better sense. who would write you honk the noun? if someone is telling you honk - he's asking/demanding a honk
>>143418705
I didn't mean without context. Clearly the context of it being a crow summoning spell is needed.
But if you know Hebrew then you should know that short standalone words are often impossible to interpret without context, if written without diacritics.
If I wrote "לך" on a piece of paper, would I mean "go" or "to/for you"? No way to know.
>>143414898
Probably because it's easier to use an existing language rather than creating either a conlang or a cypher language. Anything using the Roman alphabet wouldn't look mystical enough, since everyone was taught English in school. Chinese and other asian languages would also be too familiar. Of the remaining languages, Hebrew's probably the easiest to replicate the letters of.
>>143418741
you could easily pick a word with dual meaning but it isn't the case with צפור, that only has one singular meaning. your brain corrected that mistake automatically because of context and the similarity to the correct word. but the fact it was so easy to spot and correct that mistake that your brain did it automatically does not make it any less of a mistake.

Coincidence, probably. Hiragana and katakana are descended from written Chinese, so I can't see how there'd be any direct influence from Hebrew.

Wrong
Goy means "nation". Goyim means "Nations". The trend of using the word to mean non-jew is new and incorrect.
Even in the bible, God tells Abraham that he will turn him into a "big goy", and I am pretty sure he didn't mean turning him into a massive christian.

You think that bad? every object has a gender, even if you're talking about a sock you need to use the proper gender imperative.

>>143420403
Hebrew is a ridiculously difficult language, to be honest. Every possible quirk a language can have, it has. It's virtually impossible to learn and get right if you don't do it from birth, and even then no one speaks it truly correctly.
You can master the English language to the point where you can speak/write entirely correctly without too much trouble. The rest is just fluff; learning how to be more descriptive, learning more words, etc. In Hebrew, if you want to speak entirely correctly, you have to be a linguist. It's filled with so many weird rules and exceptions that people just don't bother any more. Spoken Hebrew is a very broken form of the "correct" form of the language.
The level of Hebrew that the average Israeli can speak/write at is *much* lower than the level of English that any native English speaker can read/write at, or level of German that a German speaker will, etc.
>>143420541

It's okay anon. I don't know about French, but in Hebrew both rag and sock are females.
>>143420549
>You can master the English language to the point where you can speak/write entirely correctly without too much trouble.
That depends on what you consider to be "entirely correct". The real problem for non-native speakers (and frankly, a lot of native speakers these days) is the correct usage of the language's vast vocabulary. English might have several words for something that another language might have only one or two for, but each of those several words may have its own specific usage or connotations, and dictionaries or thesauruses often won't help you with that.
>>143420758
It depends on the latin language
>>143420385
>>143420758
In greek, socks are females, dont worry.
>>143420782
>in Hebrew both rag and sock are females.
no, they're both male.
>>143420823
I mean grammatically correct. I agree with you on everything you said, but the fact remains that if you limit yourself to a smaller, simpler vocabulary then you should be able to string words together in a consistent and correct manner. That's what I meant by "the rest being fluff".
In Hebrew, that's not the case. Figuring out if a sentence is grammatically correct can be a significant chore. The vocabulary is much smaller, but there are so many different ways to conjugate words (not just the verbs, either) that people just don't bother. And it's getting worse with newer generations. At this point, half the population doesn't know how to conjugate verbs in future tense correctly.
For example, if someone wants to say "I will go shopping", then half the time people will conjugate the "will" part of the sentence as if it followed "he" rather than the form it should have following "I". It's extremely basic grammar that occurs so frequently, but people consistently get it wrong.
>>143420942
You're write about 'sock', although no one actually uses sock as male even though that's technically the correct form. In modern usage it'll be female 99% of the time.
As for "rag", you were probably thinking of סמרטוט which is male. I was thinking of סחבה which is female.
Yet another problem with the gendered words in Hebrew: synonyms may have different genders. Another example is the words ירח and לבנה. Both mean "moon", but the first is male and the second female.
>>143420898
And dicks can be both male and female.
>>143421029
Dont forget neutral as well.
>>143421026
>you're write
I meant right. Ironic that I should make that mistake while ranting about people not knowing their language.
>>143420898
