| POST |
| John: Listen again to אייל (Eyal)'s post. |
| Katja: אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!) |
| John: "Love you, my beautiful!" |
| Katja: (SLOW) אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!) (Regular) אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "love you." |
| Katja: אוהב אותך (ohev othach) |
| John: This sentence is missing the subject, |
| Katja: אני (ani) |
| John: ...which means "I.” It makes the expression a bit more casual and less dramatic or romantic, but it’s still a lovely way to express emotions. Listen again - "love you" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) אוהב אותך (ohev othach) (REGULAR) אוהב אותך (ohev othach) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "my beautiful." |
| Katja: יפה שלי (yafa sheli) |
| John: This is a very romantic thing to say in Hebrew. Its meaning is "you are beautiful and you are mine.” In a more subtle manner, it's also saying - "to me, you are the most beautiful." Listen again - "my beautiful" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) יפה שלי (yafa sheli) (REGULAR) יפה שלי (yafa sheli) |
| John: All together, it’s "Love you, my beautiful!" |
| Katja: אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!) |
