| Hebrew Survival Phrases Lesson 1 - Thank You in Hebrew |
| Avner: Hello! שָׁלוֹם, Shalom! My name is Avner, and I'll be your Hebrew teacher and culture guide throughout this introductory course. |
| Wherever your destination may be, manners are necessary! In this respect, Israel is no different. In our very first lesson, we'll be teaching you a simple phrase that is bound to come in handy throughout your trip to Israel. I can't stress this enough: a little bit of language can go such a long way! |
| In Hebrew, "Thank you" is תּוֹדָה, Toda. Let's break it down by syllable, תּוֹדָה, Toda. Now, let's hear it one more time, תּוֹדָה, Toda. |
| You can emphasize תּוֹדָה, Toda by adding רַבָּה, raba, which literally means, "very much." Let's hear it again, רַבָּה, raba. |
| Let's break it down by syllable, רַבָּה, raba. Now, let's hear it one more time, רַבָּה, raba. |
| You could say תּוֹדָה רַבָּה, Toda raba, which would be equivalent to "Thank you very much" or "Thanks a lot." תּוֹדָה רַבָּה, Toda raba. Let's break it down by syllable, Toda raba. Now, let's hear it once again, תּוֹדָה רַבָּה, Toda raba. |
| In Hebrew, there are other ways to express one's gratitude. However, they are all variations using תּוֹדָה, Toda, which is a noun and the subject אֲנִי, Ani, which is a more formal "I thank you very much." |
| There will be occasions where you will really want to show your appreciation and politeness. During occasions such as these, you can use the subject אֲנִי, Ani. |
| In Hebrew, there are different ways to say, "I thank you" depending on the gender of the speaker and the listener. If a man is speaking, "I thank you" is אֲנִי מוֹדֶה לֶךָ, Ani mode lecha. |
| Ani mode lecha, אֲנִי מוֹדֶה לֶךָ. Let's break it down by syllable, אֲנִי מוֹדֶה לֶךָ, Ani mode lecha. Now, let's hear it one more time, אֲנִי מוֹדֶה לֶךָ, Ani mode lecha. |
| If a woman is speaking, "I thank you" is אֲנִי מוֹדָה לָךְ, Ani moda lach. |
| Ani moda lach, אֲנִי מוֹדָה לָךְ. Let's break it down by syllable, אֲנִי מוֹדָה לָךְ, Ani moda lach. Now, let's hear it one more time, אֲנִי מוֹדָה לָךְ, Ani moda lach. |
| In both cases, we use the first word אֲנִי, Ani "I" to make the phrase formal. |
| Ok, to close out today's lessons, we would like you to practice what you have just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it out loud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so בְּהַצְלָחָה, Behatzlacha!, which means "Good luck!" in Hebrew. |
| "Thank you" - תּוֹדָה, Toda |
| "Thank you very much" or "Thanks a lot" - תּוֹדָה רַבָּה, Toda raba |
| "I thank you" (male formal) - אֲנִי מוֹדֶה לֶךָ, Ani mode lecha |
| "I thank you" (female speaker formal) - אֲנִי מוֹדָה לָךְ, Ani moda lach |

Just starting my course in Hebrew, the speaker makes it very easy to understand. My prayers are always with the Jewish people after that horrific time of October 7. I did my research and Hebrewpod 101 was highly recommended
