Hi Allan,

Thanks for commenting on this! Very good question 👍👍

Well, both options are correct.

The pronoun "הינו" is an old-fashioned way to describe an object, in a very similar way to the pronoun "הוא', used often in biblical Hebrew or in Hebrew literature.

In modern Hebrew, one would usually say "הר החרמון הינו ההר הגבוה ביותר בישראל", as you described.

I hope that helps :)

The vocabulary example has the following sentence. הר החרמון הינו ההר הגבוה ביותר בישראל. Should the word הינו be הוא?

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for posting!

I believe it's eventually a good sign that you feel more comfortable with the Hebrew vowels. Yet, please note that not all sections have a voweled version, but there's always a romanization...

You can hide the romanization in the vocabulary section by clicking the "romanization" blue button off.

I hope that helps 😄

I do not like the Romanization at all!! I prefer the vowels. Is there a way to rid of the romanization?

Thank you-Your sentence is definately shorter and somehow the last words were cut off-"l harim" I like your first verb at the beginning of the sentence-it is probably a better verb than the one I used.

Hi Shelley,

Sure, I'll be happy to translate -

We have stayed overnight in rooms without smoking in hotels with both of them, sea views and mountain views, over many years

התאכסנו במשך שנים רבות בחדרים ללא עישון בעלי נוף לים ונוף

Ahh, Yes. I was trying a longer sentence. How would you translate that into Hebrew? Is the wording more english than hebrew usage? I understand the expression you used with rooms having just learned it in a lesson. Thank you.

Hi Shelley,

Thanks for commenting.

Your sentence is a little problematic to translate, I'd suggest keeping it simpler so that you could learn more from more specific mistakes...

One note - view in Hebrew is נוף, and has no plural form in this context that you were using...

חדרים בעלי נוף לים is a better phrasing.
