גם נמצאים תמונות של משפחה וספרים בעברית, ביידיש או בעוד שפות . כל הדברים לא דברים יהודים.

very helpful to know the importance of jewish homes and the structure of the religion which permeates the homes of the families.

Hi Shelley,

I'm sure you will! I'm glad I could help :smile:

Thank you, Yaara. I think I understand most of it and will get it eventually.

Hi Shelley,

Well, it's a little confusing - מצויים (plural for מצוי) is an adjective, not a verb, so it doesn't have a past tense. The word נמצא (nim'tza), however, IS a verb, and it has a similar meaning. For נמצא, the past tense and present tense are the same, so at least there's one less thing to confuse us :sweat_smile:

Thank you Yaara for the myriad of questions. I understand most of them, "matzuim" isn't that present tense? Wheras "matzo" is past, I think. So are you using the word found in the present tense as "are found?" I think that I was thinking of it in the past tense and I agree that it should be present.

Hi Shelley,

Well, that's a tough one - this sentence is so complicated and even poetic, that it could actually be phrased in so many different ways... I tried phrasing it in the most natural way possible, but my phrasing is definitely not the only correct one.

First of all, you were right not to pluralize "seder plates" and "Kiddush cups". It would have been fine if you did, but it wasn't necessary at all.

Regarding “THE most important" - the word הכי includes "the" in it; it means "the most". Another way to say that would be החשוב ביותר, and here you also have "the".

Regarding "important" - yes, it must agree with the number of objects, and also with the gender (האנשים).

Regarding the verb for "found": you weren't completely wrong; The word מצויים (plural for מצוי) would also fit here. It has a very similar meaning to נמצא, with some differences.

Regarding “their” - I removed it because it created some superfluousness, but it isn't a mistake.

Again, good job! :thumbsup:

Sincerely,

lol Complicated and a lot of errors too! Better English would have been to pluralize seder plates and Kiddush cups, but I wasn't sure how to do it correctly. I wanted to say "THE most important-any way to say that? I see that important must be an adjective and has to agree with the number of objects, but maybe not the gender, Jewish Hearts and souls-Jewish must be plural with two yud's-you could say yudaiim-pardon the pun. I understand that I used the incorrect verb for found. You removed "their" Why? Thanks for your never-ending help.

Hi Shelley,

Thank you for posting!

יש הרבה תשמישים יהודים שנמצאים בבית יהודי, כמו צלחת סדר וכוס קידוש, אבל הכי חשובים הם האנשים עם הלבבות והנשמות היהודיים

Wow, that was complicated :sweat_smile: well done!

There are many jewish objects found in a jewish home like a seder plate and a Kiddish cup, but the most important are people with Jewish hearts and souls.

Hi Fatma Elias,

Thank you for posting!

ישנו is a form of יש, only conjugated to a singular masculine form. Unlike ישנו ,יש changes according to its subject - it can change into any one of these: ישנו, ישנה, ישנם, ישנן. The difference between יש and ישנו is confusing even for native speakers. ישנו is considered more formal, but it doesn’t always fit. Basically, it’s better to use יש.

There are a few differences in their use: יש will always come before its subject, while ישנו can also comes after its subject, in which case its purpose will be to declare that the subject exists, like so:

יש ספרים - There are books

ישנם ספרים - There are books

הספרים ישנם - The books exist

Also, יש will never refer to a name or a definite noun, but ישנו will; in that case, is will come after the subject, like in the last example.

However, as I said - when possible, always prefer יש.

As always, good question :wink:
