Flashcard help

Postby thomasgengel34_7803 » March 2nd, 2018 4:11 pm

It would be helpful if we could somehow identify a flashcard we have questions about. That would allow you to go quickly to a card that someone has flagged.

For example, here is a card's text:

הצטננות
masculine(noun)
tsinun
cold
כשאת סובלת מצינון, את מתעטשת כל הזמן.
k'she'at sovelet mitsinun, at mit'ateshet kol hazman.
when you suffer from a cold, you keep sneezing all the time.
---------------------------
It is not pronounced tsinun by the speaker but more like hitstantinut. The example sentence seems to go more with tsinun. So I am confused on the card. Is the ה 'the' and this is a simple inconsistency?

Hi thomasgengel34,

Thanks for commenting.

In Hebrew, both צינון (tzinun) and הצטננות (hitztanenut) are correct when talking about catching a cold. However, I agree with you that the cards should be more consistent with themselves and with the audio.

I will forward your request.

Yours,
