1:04

Today we talk about Al Tidagi,

1:06

Al Tidag, Al Tidagu. Don't

1:08

worry.

1:26

Al Tidag, don't worry, our Shoresh

1:28

root here is Dalet Alef

1:31

Gimel and I want to say something about the letter Alef

1:33

if I may. Many of you already know it but

1:35

all the vowels in Hebrew can also be

1:38

consonants. So the Alefs in

1:40

the word Abba, dad for

1:42

example, which is written Alef Bet

1:44

Alef, the first Alef is a consonant.

1:50

The last Alef after the Bet is

1:52

a silent Alef and it's a vowel. Al

1:55

Tidag,

1:56

both Alef in the Al and in

1:58

Tidag are consonants. consonants

2:01

so there is an sound there with an a

2:03

vowel but when we say tiddag in

2:06

colloquial Hebrew many times it becomes

2:08

tiddag and the alfiz

2:10

de facto vowel. Al

2:13

is a special particle we use for negative

2:15

imperative don't do something and

2:18

after it we have the future so al tiddag

2:21

don't worry for a guy so just

2:23

like tilmad you will learn tiddag

2:26

you will worry al tiddag don't

2:28

worry and it's a pa'al verb

2:30

for a girl we say

2:36

al tiddag li

2:38

ima don't worry about me mom al

2:40

tiddag i and for plural al

2:43

tiddag li aba al

2:48

tiddag u li aba anios

2:50

achaim al tiddag u li aba so

2:53

just like tilmad do you guys

2:55

will learn tiddag u because

2:57

of the alf it should have been tiddag

3:00

u and it became tiddag u don't

3:02

worry too much about it the preposition

3:04

we use is le so to worry

3:07

le someone al tiddag u

3:09

li don't worry in Hebrew

3:11

to me about me how do we

3:13

say the infinitive to worry so

3:15

if we are in pa'al so just like lichtol

3:29

ein lach mal id og ein

3:31

lach mal id og you have nothing to worry about

3:34

so ein lach you don't have

3:36

ma what lid og you

3:39

have nothing to worry about and you notice

3:41

that in all the examples I brought until

3:43

now the language is negative so don't

3:46

worry al tiddag al tiddag

3:48

i al tiddag u that's usually the case

3:50

especially in the Jewish culture what's

3:53

going on with the present tense he worries

3:55

she worries etc

4:12

Misha hud do egg li sham

4:14

lemala, someone worries about me up there.

4:19

And do egg could also be he cares for me,

4:21

not necessarily worries. Mi

4:23

do egg le birrott is not who is worried

4:26

about the beers, but who is taking care

4:28

of the beer, who is going to buy beer. So

4:30

do egg worries, takes care, is

4:33

concerned about. And this was Yudhi

4:35

Travitz. And by the way, you can listen to all the songs

4:37

and read the lyrics on our show's page tilviwan.fm

4:40

slash streetwise Hebrew on today's

4:42

show. And if you want to talk to me about

4:44

a word or an expression which I

4:47

should talk about here, write me on Facebook,

4:49

streetwise Hebrew. The noun de

4:51

aga means concern or worry.

4:54

Al de aga, sometimes you can add

4:56

the Al to a noun, means no worries.

4:59

Our Shorash exists also in Hifil

5:02

and Hufal verb patterns. And Hifil

5:04

is usually used for causing something.

5:06

So if something causes concern, we

5:08

use Dalit al-Fghiml in Hifil

5:10

and we get the Seqir Madig,

5:13

the Seqir Madig, talking about Seqir

5:16

election poll of the situation of the Labour

5:18

Party here in Israel. Member of Knesset

5:21

Shelly Yechimovich says Seqir

5:23

Madig, Madig, mem Dalit

5:25

al-Fghiml. So Madig is our Shorash

5:28

in Hifil, just like Madmin

5:30

Madig, you put the Dalit al-Fghiml

5:33

there and you get Madig causes

5:36

the aga. So it's worrisome, it's

5:38

a distressing poll, Seqir

5:41

Madig. To worry someone,

5:43

L'hadig misha'u. And if

5:45

we want to say we're rid, so

5:47

we have to go to the passive of Hifil,

5:50

we need to go to Hufal, like

5:52

here. Al-Lomudag mer

5:54

Falastini, mani mudag mai sele.

5:56

Anilmo mudag mer

5:58

Falastini, mani mudag mer Falastini. I'm

6:01

not concerned about the Palestinians, I'm worried

6:03

about the Israelis. This is Amnon Dankner,

6:05

a journalist, saying he's more worried

6:07

about what's happening inside the Israeli

6:10

society. So Mu'd'ag mi,

6:13

Mashihu, concerned about something using

6:15

the preposition mi. Feminine,

6:18

just like Muzmenet, invited. Al

6:21

tihi Mu'd'ag'et. Mu'd'ag'et,

6:26

so, Al tihi Mu'd'ag'et, don't

6:29

be Mu'd'ag'et, so don't be worried or

6:31

concerned. So we saw that Da'ag,

6:34

Daleda al-Fghimil, exists in Pa'al, Hifil

6:36

and Hufal verb patterns. Why not

6:38

more? We have seven verb patterns after

6:41

all. The answer is just because

6:43

each root has its own behavior. Some

6:46

exist in all the bi'nani'im, some in a few.

6:48

It varies, so no rule here, sorry.

6:52

Last bit before I bid you adieu, someone

6:54

who worries all the time is Da'agan

6:57

or Da'aganit, so Daleda al-Fghimil,

6:59

Da'agan, Da'aganit for a lady.

7:01

The noun is Da'aganut, anxiety

7:03

or worrying.

7:07

What's Da'aganut yetil?

7:10

Over worrying. Thank you, L'OLE Pellegar,

7:13

editor and sound man. Yebesed al-tida'i,

7:16

shalom. Al-Ahmani

7:18
