[Old memory awakened] The two words "Greece" and "Ouzo" remind me of a Med-cruise when I learned that "alcohol poisoning" was a reality. Trivia: "Pepsi" (not the diet stuff) in an emergency can be used to help a person accelerate the passing of toxics from the body. Warning: Do NOT try this trick at home!

I offered to help him with the Ouzo but he was "conducting an experiment". Ben Quote Link to comment

It's not really Mike's fault. Hebrew (at least the modern Israeli accent) doesn't have the U which English has (as in "gun"). That's why when you see a word transliterated from Hebrew which has a U, you can know it will be pronounced "oo" (like "pool"). Others which don't exist are A (as in "I can", not as in "mark"), I (always pronounced as "ee", so my name is pronounce ya-eer and Israel is pronounced yees-ra-el and Uzi is oo-zee), a long O (like bowl), W (although it exists in speech in words that come from Arabic) and probably some others.

I'd like you to keep enlightening the masses. I get a kick out of picking up a word or two (never more than two at one sitting, the word for "earth" most often since there is a news paper ? of that name) very now and then when the news include someone speaking in Hebrew.

Yair Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I never really manage to stop being serious, even when I do fun or funny stuff. That's just the way I'm wired and I don't mind it, because it doesn't mean I can't enjoy that stuff. QUOTE (neB @ May 16 2008, 04:15 PM) the word for "earth" most often since there is a news paper ? of that name http://www.haaretz.com/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">Haaretz, which literally means "the land" or the "the country". In singular non-specific form (which can also be used as "Earth") it's pronounced "eretz" which sounds quite similar to "earth", so I wouldn't be shocked if that was the source of the word "earth".
