# 300 Hebrew words for your next word party

The page at https://www.itsbaba.com/hebrew-word-game-words is a table of 300 everyday Hebrew words with nikud, transliteration and English, and 40 Israeli slang cards, taken from the pool that Ali (https://www.itsbaba.com/ali), the party word game in the baba app, plays from. Search it, sort it by the Hebrew or the English alphabet, or shuffle it and deal words one at a time.

## How to use a word list for an explaining game

Shuffle, then deal one word per guess to whoever is explaining. The explainer describes, mimes, or gives opposites; the team has to say the Hebrew word; the other teams watch for fouls (saying the word, part of it, a rhyme, or spelling it). After sixty seconds the last word is open to every team. The full rules, with a paper version of the board, are at https://www.itsbaba.com/hebrew-alias-style-word-game.

## Harder words

Nouns you can point at are easy (כוס, כיסא, דלת). Verbs are harder, because the team has to find the verb and not the thing (להזמין, להבטיח, להגזים). Abstract nouns are harder still (אומץ, סבלנות, חופש), and slang is its own category, since יאללה and חבל על הזמן have no definition, only the situation you say them in. A table new to Hebrew can filter to Everyday and skip freely; a fluent one can filter to Slang.

## Sample rows

- אַבָּא (aba): dad
- אוֹמֶץ (ometz): courage, bravery
- כּוֹס (kos): cup
- טֵלֵפוֹן (telefon): telephone
- חבל על הזמן (chaval al hazman): slang, incredible, amazing
- יאללה (yalla): slang, let's go, come on, okay/bye

## Frequently asked questions

**How do I use this list for a word game?** Shuffle it, deal words one at a time to the explainer, and play by the rules on the how-to page. The same words, with about a thousand more, are dealt automatically inside Ali.

**Are these the words in Ali?** A sample: 300 everyday words and 40 of the 108 slang cards. Ali draws at random from about 1,300 cards with no repeats in a game.

**Why does every word have nikud and a transliteration?** So a table where some people read Hebrew and some do not can play the same game.

**Which words are harder to explain?** Verbs, abstract nouns, and slang, in that order.

**Can I print this list?** Yes; the table prints as it is filtered, and the rows can be cut into slips.
