calling all hebrew-speakers! help! :)

My sisters need a good graphic of the hebrew words for "brother" and "sister."

with or without vowels, i don't know, but if you can find both that would be fantastic.

she said the only place she could find them was on a website called "how to read a hebrew tombstone."

these are for tattoos. why, i don't know but hey, they asked me to ask :D

help!

!! where did you find that? :D

wouldnt that second one be plural?

A little thing called the internet ;)

Another dictionary I looked at said "ach" and "achot" for brother & sister.
I'm flying blind as far as Hebrew is concerned... damn my secular upbringing!

well yeah that's how i'd pronounce it, but ot is a plural feminine ending. :P so it might be ach and acha, but i need a picture of acha. :P

no, in this case the singular is achot. just a quirky word. (the plural is achiot)

i always find it a bit weird when poeple get hebrew tattoos, as judaism forbids tattoos.

that said, israelis of my generation are some of the most-tattooed people i've ever encountered :)

even stranger is that MY SISTERS ARENT JEWISH. and neither are her brothers.

but, whatev :P

oh! thanks! then, i'll find a good font and print it out all nice for them.

thanks everyone! i got a nice hebrew font and made a printout for my sister:

hope i got it right. i didn't know if she wanted vowels or not :P

for some reason, I'm reminded of a trick I learned in hebrew school from the cantor's daughter on how to remember which vav-with-a-dot is oo and which is oh:

if you get hit in the stomach, you go "oo", if you get hit in the head, you go "oh".

shh. tired and ill and posting nonsense.

I think the plural is "achayot."

Looks good to me.

i never did mix the two up, but we did always say, "he is she and who is he and me is who and dag(dog) is fish!"

we had it as sort of a dialogue:

"Who is he?"
"He is she!"

that's what i said :D

me means who
who means he
he means she
and dog means fish
