Cultural Insight |
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Yaara: Israelis are very passionate about their likes and dislikes, and are usually happy to share their opinions with each other and even with strangers. One topic which may cause heated debate is Hummus - some people will swear by their favorite Hummus place with the same passion that a soccer fan has for their home team! |

Eric: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson! |
Yaara: להתראות |

HideHi Listeners! Try translating this: 'I don't like exams.'
Hi savas,
Thanks for commenting and posting your answer! Well done 😄👍
Note that you mixed up the genders in your verbs - "אוהבת" (love) is feminine, while "שונא" (hate) is masculine... which one did you mean?
Additionally, "הקרובים שלי" translates into "my relatives" (as in "extended family members") - was that your intention? 😅😅
Keep up the great work!
Best,

אני לא אוהבת מבחנים ואני שונא את כל הקרובים שלי.
Hi Orsi,
Thanks for commenting and for sharing.
Very well written!
These two words (בחינה and מבחן) are actually synonyms in most contexts... בחינה has a more "process" meaning to it (as in "examination" - it could also be a verb), while "מבחן" is strictly a noun (as in "a test").
I hope that helps 👍
Yours,
