| Survival Phrases Lesson 5 - Parting Greetings in Hebrew |
| Today, we will introduce parting greetings. |
| As we learned in the previous lesson, שָׁלוֹם, Shalom can mean both "hello" and "goodbye." However, this is not the only way of saying goodbye in Hebrew! |
| A parting expression that we can use for all occasions is לְהִתְרָאוֹת, Lehitraot, which literally means "goodbye." Let's break it down by syllable, לְהִתְרָאוֹת, Lehitraot. Now, let's hear it again, לְהִתְרָאוֹת, Lehitraot. |
| Let's look at another expression. The word שָׁלוֹם, Shalom as seen in the previous lesson also means "goodbye." Let's hear it one time slowly now, שָׁלוֹם, Shalom. |
| We can also use עֶרֶב טוֹב, Erev tov, the evening greeting that we saw in the last lesson, when parting or saying goodbye at night. Let's break it down by syllable, עֶרֶב טוֹב, Erev tov. Let's hear it again, עֶרֶב טוֹב, Erev tov. |
| Let's look at the components. The first word עֶרֶב, Erev means, "evening." Now, let's break this word down and hear it one more time, עֶרֶב, Erev. טוֹב, Tov, which in Hebrew is "good," follows עֶרֶב, Erev. |
| There are also several phrases for saying, "See you later." A more casual way of saying, "See you later" or "See you soon" in Hebrew is דָבֶּר אִתִּי, Daber iti. This literally means, "we talk." Let's break it down by syllable, דָבֶּר אִתִּי, Daber iti. Now, let's hear it once again, דָבֶּר אִתִּי, Daber iti. |
| 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. |
| "Goodbye." - לְהִתְרָאוֹת, Lehitraot. |
| "Good evening." - עֶרֶב טוֹב, Erev tov. |
| "Talk with me." - דָבֶּר אִתִּי, Daber iti. |
