Easy Hebrew: Four question words in Hebrew and One in Chinese

 


An advertisement for a Hebrew course offered to teach four words in Hebrew. It worked very well.

I learned two of the four words. The first word I noticed was ma? That means what. 

The Chinese question word, MA, goes on the end of a sentence and turns a statement into a question. Ma in Chinese could be translated into Eglish as really, or is that so.

The Hebrew wrod matai sound like what time, ma - tie. Matai in Hebrew is when.

The two words I had more trouble with were the words for why, lama, and how, eich.
