Who heard the horn?

[AugelloG]

Hahaha yes, just before בוקר

I think it was a bell, but it was before בוקר

Meals

Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
ארוחת בוקר Aruḫat buker 'Morning meal'	ארוחת צהריים Aruḫat tsaraïm 'Afternoon meal'	ארוחת ערב Aruḫat erev 'Evening meal'

[danny912421]

בוקר - boker

צהריים - tsohorayim

Also, צהריים is noon, so the translation of ארוחת צהריים should be "noon meal".

I answered Is this dinner or breakfast. Translation is a tricky thing. Yes, to be exact, the Hebrew says Dinner or breakfast? However, that wouldn't be a proper sentence in English.

If the testing is to find out knowledge of Hebrew (vocabulary), I would say my response would be spot on.

[Chronomatex]

The sentence sounds like it'd make more sense in context, actually.

[DC5tw4]

I think you'd need זי in front to ask "is this?" I believe...

[danny912421]

Well, זי doesn't mean anything. You'd need זאת, since ארוחה is feminine.

This would be more doable if there were vowel signs. I can't soundout the words just by reading it without the vowel markings If the print was a bit larger, that would be great.

Thank you for the alphabet learning function/lessons. That's helping a lot. I am becoming proficient at sounding that out, so I'm sure I would be able to sound out the words in the regular lessons if there were vowel signs. Maybe have some lessons at the end without vowel sounds if that is one of the goals of the course.
