Lesson Transcript

Hi, everyone! My name is Yaara. They say love is an international language, but what happens when love dies? So today we're gonna talk about 10 Break-up Lines.
1.
אנחנו פשוט לא מתאימים.
(anachnu pashut lo matimim) "We're just not right for each other."
This sentence will work as it is as long as you’re not two women.
In that case, it will be
אנחנו פשוט לא מתאימות
(anachnu pashut lo mat'imot)
2.
אנחנו צריכים להתחיל לצאת עם אנשים אחרים.
(anachnu tsrichim lehatchil lirot anashim acherim) "We should start seeing other people."
They never did. It sounds like an advice. It’s weird.
3.
אני חושב שאנחנו מתקדמים מהר מדי.
(ani choshev sheanachnu mitkadmim maher miday) "I think we are moving too fast."
If you’re a woman and you want to stay, it would be
אני חושבת שאנחנו מתקדמים מהר מדי.
(ani choshevet sheanachnu mitkadmim maher miday)
It’s not necessarily a break-up line though, is it?
Okay, this one is gold.
4.
אני לא מספיק טוב בשבילך.
(ani lo maspik tov bishvilekh) "I'm not good enough for you."
That’s the lamest excuse.
If anyone will ever say that to me, I will just say “Yeah, you’re not.”
This one is, you know what, just straightforward.
5.
אני פשוט לא אוהב אותך יותר.
(ani pashut lo ohev otakh yoter) "I just don't love you anymore."
That was male to female.
Female to male would be,
אני פשוט לא אוהבת אותך יותר.
(ani pashut lo ohevet otkha yoter)
And well, the variations.
6.
אני צריך את החופש שלי.
(ani tsarikh et hachofesh sheli) "I need my space."
You need your space?
7.
אני צריך להתמקד בקריירה שלי.
(ani tsarikh leitmaked bakariera sheli) "I need to focus on my career."
What are you, the prime minister? Whatever!
8.
בוא פשוט נהיה חברים.
(bo pashut nihie chaverim) "Let's just be friends."
That would never work.
And the classic...
9.
זה לא אתה, זה אני.
(ze lo ata ze ani) "It's not you it's me."
That will also, of course, change according to gender.
זו לא את, זה אני.
(zo lo at, ze ani)
Or,
זה לא אתה, זה אני.
(ze lo ata ze ani)
And the variations.
10.
מגיע לך יותר טוב.
(megia lakh yoter tov) "You deserve better."
You know what, I do deserve better.
