| Hello again, everybody, Idit here! Thank you for joining me to Hebrew Top Words. Today, we are going to talk about 10 Must-know Autumn Vocabulary. Let's start! |
| 1. |
| סוודר |
| (s'veder) “sweater” |
| So, obviously, (s'veder), sweater, make sense. |
| כבר מדדת את הסוודר היפה הזה? |
| (kvar madadeta et ha`sveder ha`yafe haze?) “Have you already tried on this lovely sweater?” |
| 2. |
| גשום |
| (gashum) “rainy” |
| אני חייב לחלק עיתונים בימים גשומים וימים סוערים. |
| (Ani khayav lekhalek itonim be-yamim g'shumi'im ve-yamim so'arim.) “I have to deliver newspapers on rainy days and windy days.” |
| And I also lived in the 1930s and wear casket hat and ride a bicycle and "Here ye! Here ye!" |
| 3. |
| סוער |
| (so'er) “windy” |
| The words so'er, is also, it's not necessarily just wind, but it can be like wind and rain and thunder and lightning, and just everything that has to do with a storm, because the Hebrew word for storm is סָ֫עַר (sah'-ar). סוער (so'er). |
| סוער בחוץ. |
| (So'er ba-khutz.) “It's windy outside.” |
| 4. |
| סתיו |
| (stav) “autumn” |
| בספטמבר מתחיל הסתיו בחצי הכדור הצפוני והאביב בחצי הכדור הדרומי. |
| (Be'september matkhil hastav bakhatsi hakadur hatsfoni veha-aviv bakhatsi ha'kadur ha'dromi.) |
| “In September, autumn begins in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern hemisphere.” |
| Yeah, that's kinda weird that it works like that, right? |
| Also, just so you know, the word for autumn in Hebrew, stav, is also a popular name for boys and girls. |
| 5. |
| צינון |
| (tsinun) “cold” |
| הצטננתי שבוע שעבר. |
| (hitstananti shavua she-evar. ) “I caught a cold last week.” |
| I did and it was really bad. Also, I feel like the word, tsinun, for a cold is kinda funny because you can't really say it when you have a cold. Tsidud. Tsidud. |
| 6. |
| ערמונים |
| (armonim) “chestnuts” |
| ערמונים בתנור הוא המאכל האהוב עליי |
| (armonim batanur hu hama'ackhal ha'ahuv alay) “Roasted chestnuts are my favorite food.” |
| Yeah, it's pretty good. I love, there's a french kinda pastry and it's called Mont Blanc, so fancy, and it's like, things and then you have a whole chestnut inside of it and on top of it, and you have like, chestnut cream and stuff. It's just... hmmm, yes! |
| 7. |
| חולצה עם שרוולים ארוכים/ חולצה ארוכה |
| (khultsa eem sharvulim arukim) “long-sleeved shirt” |
| חולצות ארוכות מתאימות למזג אוויר קר. |
| (khultsot arukot mat'imot le'mezeg avir kar.) “Long-sleeved shirts are good for cold weather.” |
| So sometimes, we kinda take shortcuts in Hebrew and just instead of saying long-sleeve. We just say a long shirt, instead of saying, |
| חולצה עם שרוולים ארוכים |
| (khultsa eem sharvulim arukim), we will say |
| חולצה ארוכה |
| (khultsot arukot), which is much shorter. |
| 8. |
| שלכת |
| (shalekhet) “falling leaves” |
| השלכת גורמת לי לחוש מדוכדכת |
| (hashalekhet goremet li lachush medukhdekhet) “The falling leaves make me feel down.” |
| I don't know. I really love falling leaves, actually. I think it's so romantic and gorgeous. You don't get to see much of it in Israel, which is kinda funny because you have like a specific word, like a specific noun to describe falling leaves which is kinda cute, but yeah, I think it's beautiful. |
| 9. |
| ליל הקדושים |
| (leil hakdoshim) “Halloween” |
| So, the Hebrew name for Halloween is more accurate to translate as All Hollow's Eve which is, I guess the more proper name of the holiday, All Hollow's Eve, but you can shorten into Halloween. But in Hebrew, it's still like, All Hollow's Eve. |
| ליל כל הקדושים חל באוקטובר. |
| (lel kol hakdoshim khal be'oktober.) “Halloween is in October.” |
| 10. |
| עלה |
| (aleh) “leaf” |
| תראו, לא נשאר אפילו עלה אחד על העץ! |
| (tiru, lo nishar afilu ale echad al haetz!) “Look, there's not even a single leaf left on the tree!” |
