| גזר |
| (gezer) "carrot" |

| פטריה |
| (pitriya) "mushroom" |
| אני יוצאת ליער לקטוף פטריות. |
| "I'm going to the forest to pick mushrooms." |
| That's not something you do in Isarel. |
| And there’s a saying in Hebrew, when like a lot of things appear suddenly, like this new hipster neighborhood and all of a sudden they're like million coffee shops, so you can say that all these coffee shops, |

| 4. |
| שום |
| (shum) "garlic" |
| Garlic is my grandfather's medicine for everything. Once I had a sore throat and a friend of mine made me eat a whole fresh garlic clove, just chewed it up and swallow it supposed to be good for your throat or something. I don't know if it did, I but I know I could not concentrate in my sore throat after doing that, so maybe it did help. |
| שום טרי הוא טוב לבריאות. |
| (shum tari hu tov la-bri'ut.) |
| "Fresh garlic is good for your health." |
| But not for your social life. |
| 5. |
| תפוח אדמה |
| (tapuakh adama) "potato" |
| I like this one because I like potatoes, but also because it's a really cool term. It means literally “earth apple”. |
| אני אוהבת לאכול תפוח אדמה בתנור. |

| "I love eating oven-baked potato." |
