Without Diacritic and Vowel Marks[edit | edit source]

Since Hebrew usually does not have the diacritic and vowel marks, practice reading the following without the marks. (The first time through the translation is given as a hint.) Try to read each word aloud.
עברית (Hebrew) - Ivrit(Ivreet)
את (you, feminine) - At
לא (no) - Lo
מבין (understand, masculine) - Mevin
מדברת (speak, feminine) - Midabet(Mid-a-beret)
אני (I) - Ani(Anee)
מדבר (speak, masculine) - Midaber(Mid-a-ber)
אתה (you, masculine) - Atah
אנגלית (English) - Anglit(Ang-leet)
כן (yes) - Ken
מבינה (understand, feminine) - Mevina

Now without the translation hints... how do you pronounce the word or phrase and what does it mean?
