Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Yaara: If you want to emphasize an adjective in Hebrew, you can use the word Meod.
For example, you can say…
yafe meod, meaning very beautiful.
taim meod, meaning very delicious.
or nekhmadim meod, meaning “very kind” (in the plural masculine form.)
