Lesson Transcript

Hello everybody. Idit here. Welcome to Hebrew top words. Today, we are going to talk about Top Lines You'll Need to Reject a Date. Let’s start.
1.
לא תודה
(Lo toda.)
No, thanks.
Even though that’s very proper, it’s also a little bit mean. But again, I guess it kind of depends on the situation, right?
2.
יש לי חבר
(Yesh li chaver.)
I have a boyfriend.
Unfortunately, the existence of another man is the only thing that will make another man leave you alone.
3.
אני לא מעוניין
(Ani lo meunyan)
I'm not interested.
Harsh but sometimes you got to be harsh. It’s okay.
4.
אֲנִי לֹא מְחַפֵּשׂ קֶשֶׁר
(Ani lo mechapes kesher.)
I'm not looking for a relationship.
Fair enough, yeah. If you are going to say that as a female, you would say,
אני לא מחפשת קשר
(Ani lo mechapeset kesher.)
5.
בדיוק נפרדתי מחברה שלי
(Bidyuk nifradeti michavera sheli.)
I just broke up with my girlfriend.
Um, yeah actually that’s a very valid thing to say. I guess a lot of people after a breakup, they are really not in the mood to start something new and yeah, I respect that.
6.
אני לא נמשכת לבנים
(Ani lo nimshechet lebanim.)
I'm not attracted to guys.
That’s kind of a – I mean, it could be true but sometimes that will turn on people even more which I guess is weird, whatever. And if you are a man and you are not attracted to girls, then, you would say,
אֲנִי לֹא נִמְשַׁך לְבָּנוֹת.
(Ani lo nimshakh le-nashim.)
“I am not attracted to women.”
7.
אני לא מדברת עברית
(Ani lo medaberet ivrit.)
I don't speak Hebrew.
Sometimes that helps. Sometimes it doesn’t. And also, I mean if you’re watching this video, your Hebrew is probably okay. So I don’t know. It’s just [0:02:06.9] and just, I don’t know how you would use that.
Okay everybody, that’s it. Let me know in the comments below how would you reject a date or if you’ve ever been rejected in one of these ways. Don’t forget to check out HebrewPod101.com for more Hebrew, more content. Like this video, share it with your friends and I will see you next time. Bye-bye!
