Are Kol Tov and Kol Tuv interchangeable?
What’s the difference between the two?
Thank you 🙂
Kol Tov – “all good”
See Berishis 2:12 וּֽזֲהַ֛ב הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא ט֑וֹב translated as “And the gold of that land is good”
Kol Tuv = “all the best”
See Bereishis Perek 46:18 where Paroh tells Yosef: וְאֶתְּנָ֣ה לָכֶ֗ם אֶת־טוּב֙ אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם which is translated as “I will give you the best of the land of Egypt”
I think one is Hebrew and one is Yiddish. Some yiddish words and Hebrew words are similar but sounds slightly different
Hebrew – Misphacha
Yiddish – MishpoochaThat’s the same word, ZD. Those are simply examples of two different havaras of the same word.
Its the same word, but it sounds a bit different
Yeah, different havaras tend to sound differently.
They are both words in Loshon Hakodesh as shown by the pesukim above.
Tov is an adjective. Tuv is a noun.
