| John: Must-Know Hebrew Social Media Phrases Season 1 Lesson 3 - Playing Sports |
| John: Hi, everyone. I'm John. |
| Katja: And I'm Katja. |
| John: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Hebrew about playing sports. אייל (Eyal) plays with his friends at the beach, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment. |
| Katja: נעם חושב שהוא יכול לנצח אותי במטקות. טעות! (Noam choshev she'hu yachol lenatse'ach oti bematkot. ta'ut!) |
| John: Meaning - "Noam thinks he can beat me in paddle-ball. Wrong!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| Katja: נעם חושב שהוא יכול לנצח אותי במטקות. טעות! (Noam choshev she'hu yachol lenatse'ach oti bematkot. ta'ut!) |
| John: "Noam thinks he can beat me in paddle-ball. Wrong!" |

| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "paddle-ball." |
| Katja: מטקות (matkot) |
| John: Though the origin of the name is unknown, it's the most popular beach game in Israel. Even though it's quite a casual game and not very physically exerting, some people take it seriously and even buy special paddles to play with. Listen again - "paddle-ball" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) מטקות (matkot) (REGULAR) מטקות (matkot) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Wrong!" |
| Katja: טעות! (taut!) |
| John: Literally, this word means "mistake" and is a female noun, but it’s used the same as the English word "wrong." Listen again - "wrong!" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) טעות! (taut!) (REGULAR) טעות! (taut!) |
| John: All together, it’s "Noam thinks he can beat me in paddle-ball. Wrong!" |
| Katja: נעם חושב שהוא יכול לנצח אותי במטקות. טעות! (Noam choshev she'hu yachol lenatse'ach oti bematkot. ta'ut!) |
