how would you say "remember the fallen" in hebrew?

Answer 1

ליפול; לרדת; להתמעט

Zoher et ha metim

My husband Is Israeli :)

Answer 2

If you mean it as a 'command', as in, if you're telling someone to "remember the fallen", you'd have to specify what gender you're talking to. Hebrew verbs are based on male/female.

If you're talking to a single female- "Zichri et ha noflim"

If talking to a single male- "Zchor et ha noflim"

If you're talking to a crowd of ONLY females- "Zchorna et ha noflim"

If a crowd of at least one male- "Zichru et hanoflim"

(Or "metim" which means 'dead' instead of 'noflim' which means 'fallen')


I'd say that in general you'd most probably use the last option.

Answer 3

zechor et ha'noflim
זכור את הנופלים
meaning: remember the fallen (those who died)

Answer 4

"Remember" (imperative) should be conjugated with its pronoun:
singular male: zchor (זכור, z-chor)
singular female: zichri (זכרי, zi-chrEE)
plural male: zichru (זכרו, zi-chrOO)
plural female: zchornah (זכורנה, z-chOr-na)

The object is indicated by the word "et" (את)

"The" is "Ha" (ה), and it is connected to the noun.

Fallen:
*As deceased one: met (מת)
As deceased ones: metim (מתים, me-tEEm)
*As of heroic war, or something (singular): nofel (נופל, no-fEl)
As of heroic war, or something (plural): noflim (נופלים, no-flEEm)
*As of heroic war, or something (singular)2: chalal (חלל, cha-lAl)
As of heroic war, or something (plural)2: chalalim (חללים, ch-la-lEEm)

Bottom line:
If it is a general request from everybody to remember the ones who died in the war: zichru et hanoflim.
If you ask everybody to remember everyone who died: zichru et hametim.
