What did you buy during the last sale season?

Shalom Brandon,

Thanks for posting your answer to this lesson's question!

Well done! Your phrase is almost correct :)

Please accept this correction:

קניתי את השיעורים האלה במבצע הקודם

The lessons are "אלה" and not "זה" since they are a plural object. Note that usage of "את" as well, which is indicating a specific object.

Happy to help :)

Hi קמילה,

Thanks for commenting and sharing your work!

Well written! Just note that "נעליים" is a feminine noun, and therefore the correct phrase is "נעליים ישנות".

Best,

אני שונאת לקנות בגדים! אז אני אף פעם לא קונה שום דבר. החברות שלי אוהבות לקנות נעליים, אבל אני שמחה אם הנעליים הישנים שלי. 😆

Hi Matan Omansky,

Thanks for posting and sharing your work!

Well done! very good phrase. 👍👍

One word of advice - One could add the word "מסע" to "מסע הקניות" to translate "shopping tour" more closely and accurately, as "הקניות" alone is a little vague in Hebrew.

Good morning!

The word לצאתis not in the list of vocabulary, but it's explained as if it were :-(

Hi Ollie,

Very happy to help! :smile:

However, your "thank you sentence" - עזרתך הכי קדמה is not valid Hebrew... better way is to say in Hebrew "אני מעריך את עזרתך" - I appreciate your help :)

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for commenting!

Great question about the cakes... honestly - I don't know. To me - as a native speaker - it just sounds correct this way, but I can't describe any rule to follow unfortunately.

Smichut and construct state are similar - check out the WP ( under "Hebrew")

Upon review I have another question: What is the difference between Smichut and construct state words?

Thankyou :)

Why does apple cake(עוגת תפוחים) have a plural whilst carrot cake(עוגת גזר) stays singular for both? Is there a reason for this difference or is it just this way for different words?

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for commenting.

By עוגת הגזרים , do you mean "carrot cake"? if so, the right word is עוגת גזר and the plural will be עוגות גזר.

משקפיים is a little more complicated, as it is a dual noun from the beginning (similar to אופניים, עיניים and etc.).

The plural form of such words are just as the singular - משקפי שמש is both singular (dual actually) and plural.

Hope it's clear,

Thankyou kindly :) How would you make a M,S into M,Pl (E.g משקפי השמש to M,PL),

and a F,S into F,PL (E.g עוגת הגזרים into F, PL)?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for commenting!

Your thoughts about the Smichut are correct, the ה is needed when talking about a specific object (עוגת התפוחים = the apple cake) versus a general object (עוגת תפוחים = apple cake).

About כרטיס מועדון - this is "a membership card", not a credit card (which is כרטיס אשראי).

Pluralizing it would make כרטיסי האשראי or כרטיסי אשראי as you suggested.

if הכרטיס המועדון is spelled as כרטיסי המועדון it becomes "Credit cards", right? Also I've noticed that the -ה sometimes appears when the first noun is rendered into smichut.

E.g משקפי שמש and עוגת התפוחים

Is the -ה optional or is it just to make the smichut definite?

Hi Ann,

Thank you for posting!

.במבצע סוף עונה קניתי ז'קט ירוק. ההנחה הייתה חמישים אחוזים

איזה כיף.

Great job! I changed זיג to ז'קט because זיג is a very old, rare word, and most Hebrew speakers have never heard it. By the way, מה כיף could also work - it's just a bit literary, but it's not a mistake. And yes, Hebrew question words are very confusing, but you're handling it very good!

Keep up the good work :smile:
