Help[Facts] Re: Meitav
in reply to a message by PandoraPandora
In Hebrew it would probably be spelled Mem, Tav, Vav. However, the Tav could also be a Tet . (They make the same sound.) There is also a very doubtful possibility that the Vav is a Vet. In English, unless the name is pronounced "me-i-tav" I don't think that there would be an "i".
Quick translating though bing:
Mem, Tav, Vav: Died
Mem, Tet, Vet (very unlikely): Optimize

Thanks ! I go to Hebrew school and that is where I met this girl. So (in English) it would be Metav?

Well, I'm sure that there is a standard transliteration chat for Hebrew, but I have never seen one. (I'm Jewish too). I've figured out that there are about 13 acceptable ways to right a Hebrew word in English. So theoretically, I guess it could be Meitav or Metav.

Thanks! I like it as Meitav better, though.
