| Hi, everyone! Good to see you again. I'm Yaara and today we're going to be doing 10 Lines You Need For Introducing Yourself in Hebrew. So let's start! |
| 1. |
| שמי יערה |
| (shmi Yaara) "My name is Yaara" |
| Okay, this one is the most basic. |
| שמי יערה |
| (shmi Yaara) "My name is Yaara" |
| (shmi) means “My name” and it’s the same for men and women. |
| You should know this is a bit formal. |
| The casual way of introducing yourself is saying |
| קוראים לי יערה |
| (kor-eem li Yaara) "I'm called Yaara." |
| 2. |
| שלום, נעים להכיר אותך!! |
| (shalom, naim lehakir otkha!) "Hello, it's nice to meet you! |
| You say this when you’re talking to a male. |
| Otherwise, it’s |
| שלום, נעים להכיר אותך! |
| (shalom, naim lehakir otakh) |
| 3. |
| אני מישראל |
| (ani me'israel) "I'm from Israel” |
| You can obviously change that. |
| “I’m from Italy” would be |
| אני מאיטליה |
| [ani me'italiya] |
| “I’m from America” will be |
| אני מאמריקה |
| [ani me'america] |
| 4. |
| אני גרה בירושלים |
| (ani gara be'yerushalaim) "I live in Jerusalem" |
| I said the female form. |
| The male form would be |
| אני גר בירושלים |
| (ani gar be'yerushalaim) |
| This verb (ani gar), it doesn’t mean to live, like, to exist, but to live in a place. |
| So |
| אני גר בירושלים |
| (ani gar be'yerushalaim) |
| 5. |
| אני לומדת עברית כבר שנה |
| (ani lomedet ivrit kvar shana) "I've been learning Hebrew for a year” |
| For a man, it would be |
| אני לומד עברית כבר שנה |
| (ani lomed ivrit kvar shana) |
| 6. |
| אני בת עשרים ושבע |
| (ani bat esrim ve'sheva) "I'm 27 years old.” |
| For a male, |
| אני בן עשרים ושבע |
| (ani ben esrim ve'sheva) |
| 7. |
| אני מורה |
| (ani morah) "I'm a teacher” |
| Or for a male, |
| אני מורה |
| (ani moreh) |
| You obviously don’t have to say that if you know the teacher. |
| 8. |
| אחד התחביבים שלי הוא קריאה |
| (ekhad ha'takhbivim sheli hu kri-ah) "One of my hobbies is reading." |
| The sentence stays the same for male and for female speaker |
| 9. |
| אני נהנית להאזין למוסיקה |
| (ani nehenet leha-azun le'musika) "I enjoy listening to music.” |
| For male speaker, |
| אני נהנה להאזין למוסיקה |
| (ani nehene leha-azin le'musika) |
| 10. |
| גדלתי בתל אביב |
| (gadalti be'tel aviv) "I grew up in Tel Aviv" |
| This sentence stays the same for a male and for a female speaker |
| Obviously if you grew up somewhere else, you can also say |
| גדלתי בניו יורק |
| (gadalti be'nu york) ”I grew up in New York.” |
| Or, |
| גדלתי בפריז |
| (gadalti be'pariz) “I grew up in Paris.” |
| Okay, so these were 10 Lines You Need For Introducing Yourself in Hebrew. Thank you so much for watching and we’ll see you on the next video. Bye! |
| One of my hobbies is reading. |
