New words &amp; expressions: Lo taaminu et mi pagashti – You won't believe whom I bumped into – לא תאמינו את מי פגשתי Eifo nifgashim – Where do we meet – איפה נפגשים Pagashti oto be-lev ha-midbar – I met him in the middle of the desert – פגשתי אותו בלב המדבר Nifgashnu – We met – נפגשנו Lo pogeshet anashim – (You're) not meeting people – לא פוגשת אנשים Nifgashten – You met (fem. Pl.) – נפגשתן Me-az nifgashten? – Have you (ladies) met since then? – מאז נפגשתן?

Today I want to tell you that last week I taught Hebrew at the old Trumpeldor Cemetery, the first cemetery of Tel Aviv, from 1902, where lots of celebrities are buried. יש לי סיור שם, שבו אנחנו לומדים עברית מתוך המצבות. יש שם מילים בעברית ישנה, כמעט עברית תנ"כית, וכל מיני קיצורים יהודיים מעניינים, והתלמידים יכולים I have a tour there where we learn tombstone Hebrew. There are words in old Hebrew, almost biblical, and lots of interesting Hebrew acronyms, and the students can take a photo of the tombstones and work on the texts at home. .אבל אפשר גם להכיר את האנשים שחיו בתל אביב לפני יותר ממאה שנה. בסיור קפצנו גם להגיד שלום לכמה בני משפחה שלי, אח של סבא, הסבא-רבא שלי, וזה היה ממש נחמד. But one can also meet the people who lived in Tel Aviv more than 100 years ago. On this tour we dropped by to say hi to a few family members of mine, my grandpa’s brother, my great grandpa, and that was nice. .בשבילי זה לא כל כך מקום של מוות, זה סיור שחוגג את החיים של האנשים האלה, שהשפיעו כל כך על כל מה שקרה כאן For me, it’s so not so much of a place of death; it’s a tour that celebrates these people’s life, people who really influenced everything which happened here.

Today I want to tell you that last week I taught Hebrew at the old Trumpeldor Cemetery, the first cemetery of Tel Aviv, from 1902, where lots of celebrities are buried. יש לי סיור שם, שבו אנחנו לומדים עברית מתוך המצבות. יש שם מילים בעברית ישנה, כמעט עברית תנ"כית, וכל מיני קיצורים יהודיים מעניינים, והתלמידים יכולים I have a tour there where we learn tombstone Hebrew. There are words in old Hebrew, almost biblical, and lots of interesting Hebrew acronyms, and the students can take a photo of the tombstones and work on the texts at home. .אבל אפשר גם להכיר את האנשים שחיו בתל אביב לפני יותר ממאה שנה. בסיור קפצנו גם להגיד שלום לכמה בני משפחה שלי, אח של סבא, הסבא-רבא שלי, וזה היה ממש נחמד. But one can also meet the people who lived in Tel Aviv more than 100 years ago. On this tour we dropped by to say hi to a few family members of mine, my grandpa’s brother, my great grandpa, and that was nice. .בשבילי זה לא כל כך מקום של מוות, זה סיור שחוגג את החיים של האנשים האלה, שהשפיעו כל כך על כל מה שקרה כאן For me, it’s so not so much of a place of death; it’s a tour that celebrates these people’s life, people who really influenced everything which happened here.

#91 Mistakes that make Israelis cringe

When an Israeli tells you “al tid’ag,” or “don’t worry,” that’s when you should probably start to worry.

#187 This is Literally Slang

We love using rashey teivot - acronyms - in modern Hebrew. We take the initials and between the last two letters we add inverted commas (two apostrophes) to show that it's an acronym rather than an ordinary word. Host Guy Sharett explains that the transformation from word to acronym is so extreme that some words even end up changing their gender!   New Words and Expressions: Drishat shalom chama – דְּרִישַׁת שָׁלוֹם חַמָה Timsor drishat shalom la-mishpacha – תִּמְסוֹר דְּרִישַׁת שָׁלוֹם לַמִשְׁפָּחָה Moser dash – מוֹסֵר דַּ”ש Moser dash la-chaverim – מוֹסֵר דַּ”ש לַחֲבֵרִים Timsor/timseri/timseroo le-Chayim dash – תִּמְסוֹר/תִּמְסְרִי/תִּמְסְרוּ לְחַיִים דָּ”ש Halevay ve-ha-sofash ha-ze lo yigamer af paam – הַלְוַואי וְהַסּוֹפָ”ש הַזֶּה לֹא יִיגַמֵר אַף פַּעַם Dash ham – דַּ”ש חַם Sofash, sof shavu’a – סוֹפָ”ש, סוֹף שָבוּעַ Sof ha-shavu’a – סוֹף הַשַבוּעַ She-yihye achla sofash – שֶיִּהְיֶה אַחְלָה סוֹפָ”ש Galey tsahal – גָּלֵי צַהַ”ל Tsahal, tsva ha-hagana leisrael – צַהַ”ל, צְבַא הָהַגּנָה לְיִשְרָאֵל Tsava – צָבָא Gal, galim, galey – גַּל, גַּלִּים, גַּלֵי Hu ba-tsava – הוּא בַּצָּבָא Mankal, menahel klali – מַנְכָּ”ל, מְנָהֵל כְּלָלִי Samankal, sgan mankal – סַמַנְכָֹּ”ל, סְגַן מנכ”ל Samankal ha-chevra – סַמַנְכָֹּ”ל הַחֶבְרָה Hool – חוּ”ל Az histovavta lecha be-hool – אָז הִסְתּוֹבַבְתָ לְךָ בְּחוּ”ל Rosh ha-memshala amar she-hu ba la-oom kedey lehagid et ha’emet – רֹאשׁ הַמֶּמְשָלָה אָמַר שֶׁהוּא בָּא לָאוּ”ם כְּדֵי לְהָגִיד אֶת הָאֶמֶת Oom, Oomot Me’uchadot – אוּ”ם, אוּמוֹת מְאוּחָדוֹת Be-derech klal – בְּדֶרֶך כְּלָל, בד”כ Tel Aviv – ת”א   Playlist and Clips: Yardena arazi &amp; Lahakat Ha-nachal – Drishat Shalom (Lyrics) Boaz Shar’abi &amp; Matti Caspi – Shalom Aleychem (Lyrics) The Ultras – Sofshavu’a (Lyrics)
