What do you call someone who can't wait to get out of the hospital? An impatient inpatient. "Weak verb" has a different meaning in Germanic languages. Germanic weak verbs are those that form the past tense by adding -t, -d, or -ð and in general don't change vowels (there are exceptions like bring:brought which changes its vowel and drops its nasal as well as adds -t). Strong verbs change vowels to form the past tense, and many of them have different past tense and past participle.
You are correct. Germanic languages are Indo-European in basis so what is weak in them may not be weak in Semitic languages like Hebrew. Another hurdle to overcome when learning a Semitic language.
Too bad we can't carry Greek terminology over to Hebrew in some things make grammar learning easier since most of us I believe learn Greek before Hebrew
I agree that would be easier. Unfortunately, we have the biblical languages that we have and one is Semitic and the other is Indo-European. Two different branches of the language tree.
