| 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.) |
