Hi Eliran, sorry for not being able to help - I suggest that you turn to Wikipedians in the Hebrew Wikipedia (maybe DrorK). Eldad (talk) 20:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
PS. Please bear in mind that although this is the English Wikipedia, some people here do read and understand Hebrew as well. Eldad (talk) 20:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pronouncing "cz" in Hungarian

edit

It's simply pronounced as "c". "cz" is very rare in modern Hungarian texts, but were overused in books hundred years before. ("cz" was used instead of "c".) In family names it's still preserved, and often marks noble families. (This is true for "y" and "i" as well.) Important to note, that in phonetic transcriptions you will never see "x", "y" or "w". These letters only occur in words borrowed from foreign languages.

"cz" is not mentioned in the table here [1] because it's not a compound letter. (At least, not in modern usage. I haven't read dictionaries that are old enough.)

Thank you very much! Indeed, this is what I thought. I appreciate your elaborate reply. Eldad (talk) 20:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hebrew

edit

Hi Eldad, I saw you are a native speaker of Hebrew. I wanted to ask for help in starting an article on the Hebrew Wikipedia about Ram Narayan. Perhaps you could translate the introduction? Thank you very much! Regards Hekerui (talk) 22:13, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
Could you please tell me a little about him, a few of the basic facts about his figure, his outstanding achievements etc? I would gladly translate the introduction provided that I know for a fact that he is an important figure, and that the entry on him should meet the minimum requirements for encyclopedic importance on our Hebrew Wikipedia.
Thanks, Eldad (talk) 22:34, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hi Eldad, thank you for responding. For his notability I would like to refer you to the article: the first sentence explains his notability when it comes to the music genre, and he has won several national music awards as listed in the section "Contributions and recognition". Best Hekerui (talk) 22:51, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I will begin translating the introduction, and when the entry is ready, I'll update the entry's interwiki. Best, Eldad (talk) 22:54, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Done, at long last. I've been quite busy over the past weeks, but seized the moment yesterday to work on the Hebrew Wikipedia entry, based on the introduction in the English entry. Eldad (talk) 22:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much! Best wishes Hekerui (talk) 23:33, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much for your further additions to the entry. Do you know Hebrew? Your (may I say, impeccable) additions suggest that you have quite a remarkable knowledge of Hebrew :-). Eldad (talk) 10:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, but I don't know the language. I looked at other other pages on the Hebrew Wiki and tried to improve the page via comparison :-) Unfortunately, I can't read Hebrew script (if I could I would love to check out this, because I heard it's like German, which is my first language). Regards Hekerui (talk) 10:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Aha... well, you are like a magician, you did it so well! I was really impressed. You say German was your first language. Hmm, interesting. And what does your nick, Hakerui, mean? Eldad (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
