| Survival Phrases Lesson 38 - Hotel 2—Check Out |
| In today's lesson, we'll introduce you to some more useful phrases for hotels and the like. The first phrase is "What time is checkout?" In Hebrew, this is ?בְּאֵיזֶה שָׁעָה צ'ֵק אַאוּט, Be'eize sha'a check out? As you can see, "check-out" is a word we have adopted in our vocabulary and we often use it very easily. Let's break it down by syllable, ?בְּאֵיזֶה שָׁעָה צ'ֵק אַאוּט, Be'eize sha'a check out? Now, let's hear it once again, ?בְּאֵיזֶה שָׁעָה צ'ֵק אַאוּט, Be'eize sha'a check out? The first word בְּאֵיזֶה Be'eize is a question word and in this situation means "when" in Hebrew. Let's hear it once again, בְּאֵיזֶה, Be'eize. Then, you have שָׁעָה, Sha'a, which means "time." Let's break it down by syllable, שָׁעָה, Sha'a. Now, let's hear it once again, שָׁעָה, Sha'a. Finally, the easiest word to understand, צ'ֵק אַאוּט, Check-out. So, to recap here, we have ?בְּאֵיזֶה שָׁעָה צ'ֵק אַאוּט Be'eize sha'a check out? Literally, this means "What time is check out?" |
| Let's look at some words you could need while staying in a hotel because there will be times when you need more of certain things. A few more words might come in handy: |
| "Towel" - מַגֶּבֶת, Magevet |
| "Toothbrush" - מִבְרֶשֶׁת שִׁנַּיִם, Mivreshet shinaim |
| "Toothpaste" - מִשְׁחַת שִׁנַּיִם, Mishkhat shinaim |
| "Shampoo" - שַׁמְפּוּ, Shampu |
| "Soap" - סַבּוֹן, Sabon |
| Let's try to ask, "Can I get more soap please?" This is ?אֶפְשָׁר לְקַבֵּל עוֹד סַבּוֹן, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Efshar lekabel od sabon bevakasha? Let's break it down and hear it one more time אֶפְשָׁר לְקַבֵּל עוֹד סַבּוֹן, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Efshar lekabel od sabon bevakasha? The first word is אֶפְשָׁר, Efshar and it means "can I." Let's break down this word and hear it one more time, אֶפְשָׁר, Efshar. Next, you have לְקַבֵּל, Lekabel "to get." Then, you have עוֹד, Od, which we know by now means "more." Then, you have the thing you are looking for, סַבּוֹן, Sabon "soap." Finally, to be polite, we have the word that we have heard so many times before, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha. So, all together, we have אֶפְשָׁר לְקַבֵּל עוֹד סַבּוֹן, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Efshar lekabel od sabon bevakasha? This literally means, "Can I get more soap please?" |
| 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. |
| "What time is checkout?" - ?אֶפְשָׁר לְקַבֵּל עוֹד סַבּוֹן, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Be'eize sha'a check out? |
| "Can I get more soap please?" - ?אֶפְשָׁר לְקַבֵּל עוֹד סַבּוֹן, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Efshar lekabel od sabon bevakasha? |
