Transliteration Needed

Oct 11, 2006 13:10

Hi - If anyone can do (or check) the transliteration from hebrew for the following words for me I'd greatly appreciate it!

Family
Mother: Ema
Father: Aba
Brother: At Achim
Sister:
Boy
Girl
Grandfather
Grandmother
Aunt
Uncle
Cousin
Dog
Cat
I Have
House
In my house
In my family, I have

Also, Shalom Bayit - Peace in the home - Bayit is pronounced

Interesting. I believe for Grandfather I have Sav. Any idea what the difference is?

Sav is the technical official Hebrew word for grandfather. Saba is Aramaic, but it's become the standard word that everyone uses.

Sorry to butt in. I saw a comment of yours on breastfeeding and started to browse your journal...hope that doesn't freak you out.

(Hi, browsed friendsfriends to get here.)

I have = yaish lee / yesh lee (transliteration is a bear)

In my house = b'bayti (beh-bay-tee), or possibly b'vayti (beh-vay-tee)

In my family, there is = b'mishpachtee yaish
(Somehow, "in my family I have" doesn't seem right in Hebrew, quite. I don't have enough knowledge to explain why, though.)
