"אני קורא עיתון."

Translation: I read a newspaper.

Slow audio would be really useful here.

Ani qore iton.

[BransonSha]

Just wondering, is there a connection is קורה and the word "Koran" in Arabic?

[Hrafnunga]

Yes. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Qur%27an#Etymology

I think both of you meant the Hebrew word used in this exercise, which is קורא (not קורה).

Shouldn't it translate into English as: "I am reading a newspaper"? The verb קורא is in the present tense.

[benton.1]

It can be both "I read" or "I am reading".

[jokai00]

It's I read a newspaper with read read as "reed"

[Donnie55]

in English, the present tense is "I read". "I am reading" is actually a continuous or progressive tense that translates to present tense in other languages.

אני לומד עברית ומדבר יידיש, כל כך מתי אני קורא ’עיתון’, אני גם חשוב על ’צייטוג' בידייש.

Is it ' itoAn' or rather 'iton' ?

[BezalelP]

iton, pronounced ee-ton

[dieprinzessin]

תודה

[israellai]

does the ע not amount to a glottal stop?

[Hrafnunga]

It really varies in spoken Hebrew, but the textbooks I've seen say that the Sephardic Ayin and Aleph are both simply silent characters, though the Ayin is thought to have originally been either a glottal stop or a voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/. There have been many changes over the centuries and different dialects treat it differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayin#Phonetic_representation
