How would you write, in Roman letters, the following phrase in Hebrew?

You are a complete idiot, and ignorant of the world as it exists.

Thanks.

Thank you.

The moron is claiming that Hebrew is as dead as Latin, and that nobody in the world speaks it anymore.

Tell him to go to Israel, or any synagogue, and he'll run into several million people who can speak it with varying degrees of fluency.

Too bad there's no Hebrew word for asshole.

*grin* That's why I phrased it carefully. I did find a fun page of Yiddish phrases that included several insults. I added one. Just for completeness, you understand.

I think calling him a moron is giving him too much credit for the stellar vacuum between his ears. :)

Hm... Working without my Hebrew-English dictionary:

To a male:

Atah tipesh l'gamrei (You're a complete idiot), v'ein lecha musag eich ha'olam oveid (and you have no idea how the world works.)

To a female:

At tipsha l'gamrei, v'ein lach musag eich ha'olam oveid.

If you need a more precise translation, I'll need to do it from home where I can look up a few words.

What do you need this for, anyway?

Thanks.

Dealing with a bigot in alt.atheism. Claims that nobody on Earth speaks Latin or Hebrew any more.
