what does this mean?? why Hebrew is so strange and I cannot guess its meaning?
והדמעות שמתפרצות אומרות כמעט הכל,
לך אישה ולי יש איש, כך עד מתי נסבול?

Translation:
" ...and the tears that break out tell almost all.
You have a woman, and I have a man, so till when will we suffer?"
My opinion: Hebrew is strange for many reasons, one of which is that Hebrew's logic developed around 3000 years ago (and two other later layers) but Its Vowels writing system was invented only in the Middle Ages, almost 2000 years later, and are hardly used.
I hope it helps,

I only understand a part of the above written, that's why I'll wait for a native to help.
But - Hebrew isn't strange! I can't guess the meaning of any language I don't speak well, that's normal. Give me a Chinese sentence, I won't be able to guess anything, but i wouldn't say Chinese is strange. I just don't know it. :)
Hebrew belongs to another family than chinese or english. So it is different.
To make a long story short - if you know the word, you'll understand it , if you don't know it - you'll have to learn it. that's what learning a language it's all about! :)
