| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Sherah: If you are looking for a gym in Israel, they’re relatively easy to find, especially in larger cities. |
| Amir: There are even international gym chains like Holmes Place scattered throughout the country. |
| Sherah: If you’re only in Israel for a short trip, you can try out one of the gyms with a short-term membership. |
| Amir: There is also an array of specialized gyms. |
| Sherah: Right, gyms that specialize in martial arts or crossfit. |
| Amir: Or you can find studios for yoga and pilates if that’s what you’re into. |
| Sherah: And if you don’t have a budget to join a gym, don’t worry about it. |
| Amir: You can find places to exercise right outside your door in many towns. |
| Sherah: These days, there’s outdoor gym equipment in many local parks. |
| Amir: You can find anything from bars for pull-ups to lifting apparatuses based on lifting your body weight. |
| Sherah: I’ve even seen outdoor stationary bikes in some parks. |
| Amir: Yes, and if walking is your thing, there are many walking paths and hiking trails. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Sherah: Let's take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Amir: פרטים |
| Sherah: meaning "details" |
| Amir: פרטים is the plural of the word פרט. |
| Sherah: פרט means “detail”, “element” or “individual”. |
| Amir: When someone asks you for your פרטים they are asking for your details. |
| Sherah: Right, like your phone number, your address or your identity number. |
| Amir: An expression that uses the word פרטים is פרטי פרטים. |
| Sherah: This means “in great detail”. Amir, can you give us an example using the word פרטים? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. מה הפרטים שלכם? |
| Sherah: ..which means "What are your details?" The next word is.. |
| Amir: כושר |
| Sherah: meaning "fitness", “ability” and “power”. |
| Amir: You often hear Israelis use the term בכושר. |
| Sherah: בכושר means “being fit” or “in good form”. |
| Amir: כושר is also often paired with the adjective גופני, meaning “bodily” or “physical”. |
| Sherah: כושר גופני means “physically fit". How about an example, Amir? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. איתי בכושר גופני טוב. |
| Sherah: ..which means "Itay is in good physical fitness." The last word is.. |
| Amir: תעודת זהות |
| Sherah: meaning "identity card" |
| Amir: A תעודת זהות is something every Israeli and resident of Israel has. |
| Sherah: The first word in this phrase is תעודת. It’s in a construct state, so the tav is actually a heh in the original word. |
| Amir: And תעודה means “certificate”, “document”, “diploma” or even “destination”. |
| Sherah: תעודה is also used in the phrase “matriculation certificate” or תעודת בגרות. |
| Amir: The second word of the phrase is זהות and it means “identity”. |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example using תעודת זהות? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. יש לך את תעודת הזהות שלך איתך? |
| Sherah: ..which means "Do you have your identity card with you?"ю Okay, now onto the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
| Sherah: In this lesson, you will learn about the inflected preposition -מ. In Hebrew, the preposition -מ means “from”. |
| Amir: It’s a preposition that attaches to the word it precedes. |
| Sherah: It also has another form, which is מן. This form doesn’t attach to the word that follows it. As with other prepositions in Hebrew, -מ can be inflected using pronoun suffixes. |
| Amir: We see an example of this in the dialogue when the clerk from the gym says אני רק צריכה כמה פרטים ממך קודם |
| Sherah: This means, “I just need some information from you first”. |
| Amir: “from you” in this sentence was “ממך” |
| Sherah: This is the combination of the preposition -מ and the pronoun ending -ך for “you” in the masculine singular form. |
| Amir: Later in the dialogue, Nitzan says, יש עוד משהו שאת צריכה ממני? |
| Sherah: This means, “Is there something else you want from me?” |
| Amir: Here, the preposition -מ is combined with the first person singular ending י- |
| Sherah: As you can hear from these examples, the combination of the preposition with the pronoun suffix is not as straightforward as with other inflected pronouns. |
| Amir: Right, in these inflections there are a few extra letters added to help with the pronunciation of the word. |
| Sherah: Let’s review the inflections of “from me” and “from you”. The first inflection is “from me”. |
| Amir: This is ממני. |
| Sherah: Next is “from you” in the masculine singular. |
| Amir: That is ממך |
| Sherah: And the last is “from you” in the feminine singular. |
| Amir: That is ממך. |
| Sherah: So, now that we’ve gone over the inflections, let’s hear them in some sample sentences. |
| Amir: Okay, the first sample sentence is קִיבַּלְתְּ את המכתב ממני? |
| Sherah: This means, “Did you get the letter from me?” and it uses the inflection “from me”, or ממני. |
| Amir: The next sentence is אפשר לקבל חתימה ממך? |
| Sherah: This means, “Can I get a signature from you?” ממך is the inflection. |
| Amir: The last sample sentence is הוא מרוצה ממך והעבודה שלך. |
| Sherah: This means, “He is pleased with you and your work”. This sentence uses the feminine singular inflection ממך. |
Outro |
| Sherah: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Amir: תודה |
