Lesson conversation |
|---|
| רופאת שיניים: שלום, אני מבינה שנשברה לך שן. אתה יכול לספר לי מה קרה? |
| דניאל: כן. ניסיתי לפתוח משהו עם השיניים ושברתי שן. |
| רופאת שיניים: אשאל אותך כמה שאלות כדי לדעת אם צריך לקבוע לך תור דחוף. |
| דניאל: אין בעיה. |
| רופאת שיניים: השן עדיין שלמה או שאיבדת חלק ממנה? |
| דניאל: לא, השן עדיין שלמה. אני יכול להרגיש את הסדק עם הלשון שלי. |
| רופאת שיניים: השן רגישה לקור או לממתקים? |
| דניאל: כן, היא רגישה לקור. לא אכלתי ממתקים בזמן האחרון. |
| רופאת שיניים: אם היא רגישה, אתה צריך לבוא בהקדם האפשרי. |
| דניאל: בסדר, מתי אפשר לבוא? |
| רופאת שיניים: יש לי מקום פנוי היום בארבע. |
| דניאל: יופי, נתראה מאוחר יותר. |
| Sherah: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Dentist: Hello, I understand you broke a tooth. Can you tell me what happened? |
| Daniel: Yes. I tried to open something with my teeth and broke a tooth. |
| Dentist: I’ll ask you a few questions to find out if we need to schedule an urgent appointment for you. |
| Daniel: No problem. |
| Dentist: Is the tooth still intact or did you lose part of it? |
| Daniel: No, the tooth is still intact. I can feel the crack with my tongue. |
| Dentist: Is the tooth sensitive to cold or sweets? |
| Daniel: Yes, it's sensitive to cold. I haven’t eaten any candy lately. |
| Dentist: If it's sensitive, you should come as soon as possible. |
| Daniel: Okay, when can I come? |
| Dentist: I have a vacancy today at four. |
| Daniel: Great, see you later. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Sherah: So the lesson for today is not to open things with your teeth... |
| Amir: No, I don’t think that is today’s lesson but it’s an important thing to remember anyway! |
| Sherah: While we’re on the subject of dentists, what are sweets like in Israel? |
| Amir: There’s a wide variety. There are both middle eastern traditional sweets and also popular western sweets. |
| Sherah: What’s especially popular with Israeli kids? |
| Amir: Krembo, which is chocolate covered marshmallow cream on top of a sweet biscuit. |
| Sherah: Sounds delicious, but sweet. |
| Amir: A popular brand of Israeli sweets is Cow brand chocolate. This dates back to the 1930s and they sell many different types of chocolate bars, spreads, and candies. |
| Sherah: What about those traditional sweets? |
| Amir: Moroccan sweets such as Ma’amoul or Shabakiya are popular. |
| Sherah: What are those? |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Sherah: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Amir: דחוף |
| Sherah: meaning "urgent." What can you tell us about this? |
| Amir: דחוף is an adjective and it has the same root letters as the verb "to push." |
| Sherah: How is it used? |
| Amir: It can be used in several ways. It can be used for something that has to be taken care of immediately. |
| Sherah: It can also be used for something that is important for someone, and will happen soon for them. |
| Amir: It can also be used as an adverb, like “urgently.” When it’s an adverb, it can be either בדחיפות or the more colloquial דחוף. |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. אני צריך לדבר איתך על עניין דחוף. |
| Sherah: ..which means "I need to talk to you about an urgent matter." Okay, what's the next word? |
| Amir: לקבוע |
| Sherah: meaning "to set, to make an appointment." |
| Amir: The root letters are ק.ב.ע, and the verb stem is Pa'al, also called Kal. |
| Sherah: How is this used? |
| Amir: It can mean “to decide” or “to rule,” or “to determine” and “to set.” |
| Sherah: It also means “to make an appointment.” |
| Amir: Right. It’s pretty versatile. |
| Sherah: What’s an example using this word? |
| Amir: For example, you can say.. היא תקבע איתו פגישה בקרוב. |
| Sherah: .. which means "She will set a meeting with him soon." Okay, what's the next word? |
| Amir: רגיש |
| Sherah: meaning "sensitive." What can you tell us about this? |
| Amir: This is an adjective that consists of the root letters of the noun רגש, meaning "feeling." |
| Sherah: How is it used? |
| Amir: It can be used for a person or an object to say that they are vulnerable, either emotionally or physically, or even a little touchy. |
| Sherah: Can it also be used to describe a sensitive issue? |
| Amir: Yes, it can. It can also be used to say that something is sensitive to things that cause a negative reaction, such as food allergies. |

| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. הוא מאוד רגיש לריחות. |
| Sherah: .. which means "He is very sensitive to odors." Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
| Sherah: In this lesson, you'll learn about verbs. We’ve mentioned different types of verbs quite often during this series. |
| Amir: Yes, the different Hebrew verb stems, or Binyanim, are very important. They’re used to indicate the properties of the verb in terms of voice and aspect. |
| Sherah: So what are the properties of Pi’el verbs? |
| Amir: The Pi’el verb stem is used for active verbs, not passive verbs, and verbs that are transitive with a direct subject. |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example? |
| Amir: Take לספר, which means “to tell.” It’s an active verb, and should have a subject. |
| Sherah: Can you give us another example, this time in a sentence? |
| Amir: הוא גידל צמחים נדירים במעבדה שלו |
| Sherah: “He grew rare plants in his laboratory.” The verb here is “to grow.” |
| Amir: An important rule of this stem is that it doubles the second root letter. The middle consonant of the root doubles, which means it gets a Dagesh. |
| Sherah: Does this have much effect? |
| Amir: In most consonants, this Dagesh changes nothing. |
| Sherah: I sense a “but” is coming... |
| Amir: ...But if the middle consonant of the root is ב , פ , or כ its pronunciation changes and becomes more abrupt. |
| Sherah: I knew it! There’s a conjugation chart in the notes that helps explain this a little more. |
| Amir: Yes. If we take the verb לקבל, meaning “to receive,” we can see in the lesson notes how it changes depending on gender or number. |
| Sherah: Let’s look at a couple of examples of how it changes. We’ll stick with the present tense for our examples, although the lesson notes also have the past and future tenses. How is “to receive” conjugated for a singular, feminine “you”? |
| Amir: It becomes מקבלת. |
| Sherah: How about for the plural, feminine “you”? |
| Amir: מקבלות |
| Sherah: And finally, let’s end on some example sentences. |
| Amir: אבא שלה סיפר לה סיפור לפני השינה |
| Sherah: “Her father told her a bedtime story.” |
| Amir: חשוב לא לאבד סבלנות |
| Sherah: “It’s important not to lose patience.” |
Outro |
| Sherah: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Amir: להתראות |
