What are Hebrew words beginning with the letter d?

Answer 1

The Hebrew equivalent of the letter "R" would be "Resh" (ר).

Resh means "head" in Common Semitic (in Arabic it is "Ra'is"). In Biblical (reconstructed), Sephardi (Spanish/North African/Turkish), and Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Hebrew dialects, this letter is trilled like in Arabic, a little less trilled than in Spanish. Because the first Jews to migrate to the State of Israel were primarily of Central and Eastern European extraction, they spoke Judeo-German (aka Yiddish) which had adopted the French/German guttural R. If you go to Israel, you will hear a lot of this guttural R. If you watch old Israeli movies, you will hear a trilled R.

Answer 3

Hebrew uses a completely different alphabet, but it is safe to say that any Hebrew word beginning with the letter ק can be spelled in Engish with a q, such as:

• qafeh (coffee)
  
• Qiryat Nordau (the name of a village in Israel)
  
• Qof (the name of the letter ק)
  

Answer 4

If you mean the letter chet (ח), also spelled het, het, or ḥet, there are many words. Here are a few:

• challah (חלה)
  
• chiber (חיבר)
  
• chatunah (חתונה)
  
• chayal (חיל)
  
• cheshbon (חשבון)
  
• charif (חריף)
  

If you mean the English "ch" sound, there are only a few, because this is a borrowed sound. (Note: For pronunciation purposes, I spelled the English ch sound as tsh so as not to confuse it with the Hebrew ch sound):

• צ׳ק (tshek) = Cheque or Check
• צ׳יק צ׳ק (tshik tshak) = hurry up!
• צֶ'כְיָה (tshechia) = The Czech Republic
  
• צ׳לו (tshelo) = Cello

Answer 5

There are no Hebrew words that start with F. the "f" sound cannot begin a Hebrew word, except in Modern Hebrew. In classical Hebrew, the letter פ represents the sound of "P" at the beginning of words and the sound of "F" at the end of words.

Here are some modern Hebrew words beginning with F:

• Falafel (פלאפל) = falafel
  
• Falestina (פלסתינה) = Palestine
• Filosofia (פילוסופיה) = philosophy
