Hello Listeners! What do you think about cheating on a test?!

Hi Sunil,

Thank you for your comment!😄

Where you able to learn about bag'rut? Maturity or the high-school exams ones?

Have a pleasant learning!

Dear Steven Borges,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for posting this important information.

This is true, the word "tshuva" (תשובה) is also the word for repentance. This is logical as the root of the word "תשובה" is similar to the verb "לשוב" which means "to return".

Keep up the good work 😄

Best,

'Ana (Answer) can be used interchangebly in Spoken Hebrew with the word t'shuvah

keep in mind to my fellow Hebrew learners: t'shuvah can mean returning in the verbal noun

which generally means repentance

T'shuvah has a very important meaning : a Jew who has gone astray whether if he was religious in his past

life or not and is born again because he asked God (Hashem) for forgiveness for all the bad past sins he had commited

Dear Allan Tanzman,

Thanks for posting you question!

In most contexts, "מבחן" and "בחינה" are simply synonyms. Some consider "מבחן" to be a little more 'formal', but in most cases these words are used interchangeably.

I hope that helps :)

What is the difference from בחינה and מבחן

Hi Yitzchak,

My pleasure - glad I could help :)

תודה רבה.

Hi Yitzchak,

Thanks for posting your translation! well done - your phrase is almost 100% correct 👍👍

Let's review a few spots -

" לא כדאי לרמות על מבחנים "

the correct preposition here is "in" (ב) , as in "לא כדאי לרמות במבחנים"

"ימנה ממך..."

Note a type - "to prevent" = "למנוע", therefore the correct verb here is "ימנע ממך"

"גם, אולי תיתפס!"

This is not really incorrect, but an even better way to say it would be "בנוסף, אולי תתפס"

The difference between "גם" and "בנוסף" is similar to the difference between "too" and "also" (or "additionally").

Keep up the good work!

Best,

Roi

חוץ מזה שזה לא ישר, לא כדאי לרמות על מבחנים כי הרגל כזה ימנה ממך ללמוד איך לעבוד קשה וללמוד דברים חשובים. גם, אולי תיתפס!

Besides for being dishonest, it's not worthwhile to cheat on tests because such a habit will prevent you from learning important things and from learning how to work hard. Also, you might get caught!

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for commenting. Good questions.

1. The rule is correct when we're talking about a specific tense (ie - present - אני הולך לאכול - "I go eating"), but when using the conditioned form "would have" it works as on my comment - הייתי הולך is referred to as the first verb combined.

2. I'm not sure I fully understand your meaning, but it seems correct.

3. "אילו" is not always necessary in order to make a conditioned sentence, in your example - הייתי מדבר איתו - we can continu this sentence with אם "if" - הייתי מדבר איתו אם הוא היה מגיע.

4. רשות rashut is more of an organization, such as רשות שדות התעופה Israel Airports Authority.

5. The suffix ות-(ut) is a very common one in Hebrew, and there are different reasons to different words, Sorry that I can't supply an easy solution...

Yours,

1. You replaced רשות with סמכות. What context is רשות found in?

2. The suffix ות-(ut) shows up many times in Hebrew for nouns in which I can't label E.g בלשנות, גננות, סמכות, רשות. What are these type of nouns called and what common meaning does this suffix give them?

Does this make sense?

Thank you so much for your valuable insight Roi :) Keep the corrections coming!

1. I learnt somewhere that when there are two verbs beside each other that the last one must be an infinitive, you have broken that with הייתי מבלה עם אישתי. Is this an exception in some way or am I wrong?

2. So with carrying the "would" meaning into other sentences, as long as there is a להיות verb it can be done?

E.g

If__________, I would be__________. Then we would__________.

.____________אילו__________, הייתי__________. אז היינו

Does this make sense?

3. Moreover, If אילו was not present anywhere and i used הייתי, would the "would" sense be present?

E.g I would talk to him.

.הייתי מדבר איתו

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for posting and for your nice phrases!

lets' go through your work -

1. אילו לא הייתי נמצא במפעל היום, הייתי מבלה עם אישתי .הייתי יוצא למסעדה סינית לפגישה רומנטית איתה

2. אל תתווכחו עם אבא שלכם כי הוא הסמכות הסופית בנושא. אנחנו לא יוצאים לאכול גלידה הערב

I think you mean "hypothetical" sentence, the "would" הייתי/היינו is used before every verb.

If I wasn't at work, I'd be spending time with my wife. I would go on a romantic date to a Chinese restaurant with her.

אילו אני לא נמצא במפעל היום, הייתי לבלות עם אישתי .אני יוצא למסעדה סינית לפגישה רומנטית איתה

Don't argue with your dad because he is the final authority on the topic. We aren't going out for ice cream this arvie.

אל תתווכחו עם אבא שלכם כי הוא הרשות הסופית על הנושא. אנחנו לא יוצאים בשביל גלידה בערב הזה

Because the first sentence is a hypocritical sentence, does the "would" meaning carry into the following sentence?

Thank you, Roi So the word "come" the way you wrote it is the command form for you singular masculine? Yes, I agree your version is the one I've seen and is more natural.

Good to know that "for me" is redundant with efshar.

Took me a bit on the spelling of film- you meant to use the tet instead of the tav not the samech. Glad you keep catching me on my spelling and the chet and hay. Thanks for you assistance as always.

Hi Shelley,

Thanks for commenting!

Please note first, that "na" (please) is spelled "נא" (short for "אנא"). Best way in Hebrew is to say "בוא איתנו בבקשה".

May I - translated simply as "אפשר" (efshar) - בשבילי is redundant in your sentence.

I went = הלכתי (with "ה")

movie = סרט (with "ס")

Good work!

Yours,

Roi

Please come with us.. נה לבוא איתנו . בבקשה תבוא איתנו (Which is more natural in Hebrew?)

May I borrow your markers so I can draw with you.

אפשר בשבילי ללוות את הסמנים שלכם כדי שאצייר איתכם

I promise to go with you/ with her/ with them next time.

אני מבטיחה ללכת איתך/ איתה /איתן הפעם הבאה

I went to the film with you/with him/ with them last week.

חלכתי איתך/ איתו /איתם /לסרת בשבוע שעבר

Hi Ann,

Thank you for posting, great job!

One tiny issue:

זה לא רעיון טוב לרמות במבחן כי אולי המורה יטלפן *אל* ההורים שלך לדבר איתם

Or:

זה לא רעיון טוב לרמות במבחן כי אולי המורה *יטלפן להורים* שלך לדבר איתם

Or the more common phrasing:

זה לא רעיון טוב לרמות במבחן כי אולי המורה *יתקשר להורים* שלך לדבר איתם

Keep up the good work :wink:

Sincerely,

It is not a good idea to cheat in a test because perhaps the teacher will phone your parents and speak with them.

אתה רוצה ללכת העירה איתי או להישאר בבית איתו

Do you want to go into town with me or to stay at home with him?
