Lesson Transcript

Hey, guys! Welcome to Hebrew Weekly Words. My name is Yaara and today, we’re going to talk about Family
משפחה
(mishpakha)
1.
אמא
(ima) “mother”
לאמא שלי קוראים איילת.
(le'ima sheli kor-im Ayelet.)
“My mother's name is Ayelet.”
I can say
[אמא שלי]
(ima sheli) “my mother” and this is also how we call mothers
אמא
(ima) like “mom” or “mommy”. The more formal word is
אם
(im) but we don’t use it when we speak.
2.
אבא
(aba) “father”
אבא שלי גבוה מאוד.
(aba sheli gavoha meod.)
“My father is very tall.”
The formal word is
אב
(av) but again when speaking in non-formal language, we say
אבא
(aba).
3.
בת
(bat) “daughter”
בת
(bat) is “daughter” and it’s also “”girl” like when you ask if it’s a boy or a girl,
[זה בן או בת?]
(ze ben o bat?)
הבת שלה בת שלוש.
(ha'bat shela bat shalosh.)
“Her daughter is three years old.”
I just realized it’s a funny word when you speak English,
בת
(bat) but yeah.
4.
בן
(ben) “son” or a “boy”
הבן שלו ממש דומה לו.
(ha'ben shelo mamash dome lo.)
“His son looks a lot like him.”
5.
סבתא
(savta) “grandmother”
It’s spelled
סבתא
(savta) but most of the times, you hear
ספתא
(safta). This is how children say it at least,
ספתא
(safta)
סבתא שלי גרה בכפר.
(savta sheli gara ba'kfar.)
“My grandmother leaves in a village.”
Okay, thank you so much for watching. We talked about the very Israeli subject of “Family”
משפחה
(mishpakha). Leave us any comment below and don’t forget to check out the site. See you next time!
