| Survival Phrases Lesson 21 - Internet Café |
| In this lesson, we'll learn about a place crucial to your travels in this modern age, the Internet café! Normally, you find Internet cafés in the big main cities. However, if you are in a very small town, there is a possibility that you will not be able to find one. |
| Let's imagine you're at the reception desk and you need to ask how much the connection costs and for how long. ?סְלִיחָה, כַּמָה זֶה לְשָׁעָה, Slicha, kama ze lesha'a? This literally means, "Excuse me, how much is it an hour?" Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time, סְלִיחָה, כַּמָה זֶה לְשָׁעָה, Slicha, kama ze lesha'a? This sentence is made up of סְלִיחָה, Slicha and then כַּמָה זֶה, Kama ze, which we have already seen in previous lessons, followed by לְשָׁעָה, Lesha'a. In this case, the word שָׁעָה Sha'a means "hour" in English. Please note that, attached to the word שָׁעָה Sha'a, we need the articled preposition לְ, Le, which in English means "to." Another way of asking this is to replace לְ, Le with the Hebrew word אַחַת, Achat, which in English means "one." However, please note that in this case the word אַחַת, Achat will appear after the word שָׁעָה, Sha'a. Thus, we have ?סְלִיחָה, כַּמָּה זֶה שָׁעָה אַחַת, Slicha, kama ze sha'a achat? |
| They will probably answer you with something such as the price of the connection per hour and then… לְשָׁעָה, Lesha'a. |
| This sentence is very easy to understand and it has the same meaning. In addition, the price (a number plus the word שְׁקָלִים, Shekalim) will always come first. Let's imagine for example that the clerk says, "5 Shekels per hour." חֲמִישָׁה שְׁקָלִים לְשָׁעָה, Khamisha Shekalim lesha'a. Let's break these words down and hear them one more time, חֲמִישָׁה שְׁקָלִים לְשָׁעָה, Khamisha Shekalim lesha'a. |
| Ok, to close out today's lesson, 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. |
| "Excuse me, how much is it per hour?" - ?סְלִיחָה, כַּמָה זֶה לְשָׁעָה, Slicha, kama ze lesha'a? |
| "Five Shekels per hour." - חֲמִישָׁה שְׁקָלִים לְשָׁעָה, Khamisha Shekalim lesha'a. |
