Subject: Israel [en]

I don't know why the names Marek and Ben should be related.

"Ben" is a lovely name, but it has nothing to do with "Marek".

Marek is a Latin name that has many versions:
Marc, Marcus, Markus, Marcel, Marceau, Marque, Marco, Marek, Marko, Marus, Markos, Marks, Marx, March, Marius, Marquette, Marquis, Marky, Markie, Marilo, Márk, Markó, Márkus

The Hebrew equivalent should be:

Mordechai, (variations: Mort, Mordy, Morty, Motti)

The original meaning of both names is the same: Warrior, and the sound is not far as well

Mordechai appears in the old testament, he was a Jewish guy, the uncle of Hadassah more known in the bible as Ester (Esther, Estralita, Estel, Estella, Stella, Estie, Estee, Esta, Etti, Esterina).

But Mordechai is not originally Hebraic. It is adopted from Persian.
The meaning of the name (warrior) is after the Persian/Mesopotamian God Morduch, the main God of Babilon, that according to the Mesopotamian mythology Fought Chaos to bring order into the world.

So, to sum it up - you are a god

Thank you! Really, I was thinking there is no hebrew equivalent of my name. Mordechai sounds great, I heard that name before, from Silva's books... I like it, more then Ben :) We have christmas today, so I'm taking this as a present from you ;) Very nice explanation, thanks once again...

could also be useful to you :P

actually not, I can't image how can I write in hebrew, it's impossible for me to write "backwards"... You are all left-handed or what? And those literae seems all the same, hard to remember... Why are you using this language? No one but you understand it, not? No other state are using hebrew except Israel...
(edited)

Yes. but Hebrew existed long before Latin, so basically, the only reason Latin letters became so popular is by being adopted as the language of Christianity.
The bible was written in Hebrew, and if not for anything else - just for being able to read it in its original language - it worth it (reading the old testament as a literary piece of art is great).

its much more logic to write from right to left then from left to right if your a right handed try it...

hebrew is one of the oldest languages we have an heritage to preserve :)
Arabic is also written right to left...

Hi you :)

I'm right handed, and it's more comfortable to write classicaly left-to-right. Arabic may write same way as you, but you're the only nation using hebrew... Arabic language is using by more states, also abzuka (russian letters) are using by more state, so that people can go to vacation somewhere... When you want to go somewhere, you have to know classic letters. Your kids compulsory learn latin alphabet in school?

we all learn english

but it is compulsory? or voluntarily...?
