Survival Phrases Lesson 2 - You're Welcome in Hebrew
In today's lesson, we'll continue to learn more phrases that will help you with basic etiquette. Israelis are exceptionally hospitable. They use phrases of gratitude and those related quite often. Even though you may not get the chance to use אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma ("You're welcome") during your trip in Israel, there's a very good chance you'll hear it. So let's have a closer look at it!
In Hebrew, "You're welcome" is בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha. Let's break it down by syllable, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha. Now, let's hear it once again, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha. The word בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha means, "You're welcome." Let's break down this word and hear it one more time, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha.
You can also respond to someone who has thanked you by using two very similar expressions. They are אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma, which literally means, "it's nothing," and זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder, which means, "it's okay." Let's break it down אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma by syllable, אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma. Now, let's hear it once again, אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma. Let's break it down זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder by syllable, זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder. Now, let's hear it once again, זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder.
Remember, אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma means, "it's nothing," and זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder means, "It's okay."
Of the expressions we have seen, please keep in mind that we can use בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha, אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma, and זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder in any situation, formal or informal.
Ok, to close out today's lesson, we would like you to practice what you have just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it out loud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so בְּהַצְלָחָה, Behatzlacha! which means "Good luck!" in Hebrew.
"You're welcome." - בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha.
"It's nothing." - אֵין בְּעַד מָה, Ein bead ma.
"It's okay." - זֶה בְּסֵדֶר, Ze beseder.
