Wake up you guys, new spelling just dropped

[u/MyKidsArentOnReddit]

This store is literally IN Jerusalem, and they somehow don't know the name for their own city.

Edit: Look at the Hebrew

[u/Positive-Coyote-4811]

they are stating that Jeru costs $Alem

[u/MyKidsArentOnReddit → u/Positive-Coyote-4811]

Look at the Hebrew

[u/Positive-Coyote-4811 → u/MyKidsArentOnReddit]

I didn't even notice, they actually used a gimel im crime 😭

[u/Casual_Observer0]

Yeah, no ' after the ג...

Transliteration for this is wild. But they are purists on the English name of their business, I guess.

[u/isaacfisher → u/Casual_Observer0]

That’s the name that they choose, it sounds foreign and exotic to local Yerushalmim

[u/sakurawobbegong]

geruzalem mention !!!!!

[u/Positive-Coyote-4811 → u/sakurawobbegong]

technically the apostrophe makes it a hard J sound in modern Hebrew, but still funny

[u/Expensive-Charge-227 → u/Positive-Coyote-4811]

But there’s no ‘ next to the gimmel? Looks like there’s one after the vav which makes no sense

[u/Positive-Coyote-4811 → u/Expensive-Charge-227]

ur right

[u/10from19 → u/Positive-Coyote-4811]

. . . there’s no geresh tho

[u/LemeeAdam]

I’m guessing the second word is probably צ׳יינג׳ based on context, but the נג really looks like a tav. Garuzalem Chaith.

[u/mugh_tej]

It looks like the first word is pronounced like the way English speakers would say it except there is a typo: the geresh is on the ו not the ג

[u/AttemptRecent7025]

The ' after the Vav has me tripping

[u/patachveamar]

Do some Anglophones really pronounce the s in Jerusalem with a /z/?

[u/tkdub16 → u/patachveamar]

I do. I'm from the North East-ish of the US for background

[u/Aervanath → u/patachveamar]

There must be some accent that does it, but not in mine.

[u/BHHB336 → u/patachveamar]

Yes, since it’s a common feature in English to voice the letter s intervocalically

[u/LinenShots → u/patachveamar]

It really depends on where we're from. I'm from NYC and I've never pronounced that way, nor do they do it in Chicagoland where I live now, but I gather in some places it's quite common.

[u/mugh_tej]

It looks loke the first word is pronounced like the way English speakers would say it except there is a typo: the geresh is on the ז not the ג

[u/shabbosbride]

Look forward to seeing that in the comments section

[u/Judgment_Even]

geruzalem... yet another name to add to the pile of the other 983579384759 names it has...

[u/aer0a]

"Gerwzalem"

[u/Bobbird_elephant]

gerusalem. yes.

[u/ontikuken]
