Hi Shelley,

Thank you for commenting and for your concern.

No editing is required - the expansion sentence is correct as it is. 👍

Roi and team, If leaving with a bad name is incorrect as you mentioned to Victor below, please correct it in the expansion sentence under the word for manager. Thanks.

Hi Jeannet Benschop,

Thanks for posting.

This is correct. in the 3rd sentence "אותו" refers to the (מסמך) document (masculine noun) while on the 7th sentence it refers to the envelope (מעטפה) which is a feminine noun.

Yours,

3rd sentence of the dialogue uses 'אותו' for document

היי, תוכלי לעשות לי טובה? יש מסמך על השולחן שלי ואני צריך שתמסרי אותו למחלקת המכירות.

while the 9th sentence uses 'אותה' for document

Yes, very interesting new words for the workplace. My hebrew must have been correct which is good. I came back to review this lesson and saw your comment, but I didn't receive it in my e-mail. hmmmm. Wonder if I have missed other comments. I have plans to complete all the lessons and then start from the beginning again to review. It would be helpful to be able to see all past comments. You used to have "show all" on your comments which is now changed I think when you went to the new format. Also, I would love if you have made all the corrections that I and others have imputed so that your site would be more understandable and easier to navigate.

Hi Shelley!

ספרתי שלוש-עשרה מילים חדשות alot of new words. I counted thirteen new words. הרבה מילים חדשות I suppose that is good but hard to understand. אני מניחה שזו טוב אבל קשה להבין

Hi Victor,

Yes, your logic is correct here, in Hebrew, bad reputation is "going out" for someone. when a bad name (bad reputation) is "going out" from one's privacy and "out" to the society.

However, the phrase that you wrote "לצאת שם רע" is wrong and one would say "להוציא שם רע".

Thanks,

Dear instructors,

I have a question from one of the sample sentences in the Lesson Notes for this lesson.

It is the following sentence:

לאחרונה, למנהלים רבים יוצא שם רע.

It is translated as: Recently many managers have been getting a bad reputation.

(lit. "Recently/lately, to many managers goes/is left a bad name.")

Am I to understand that in Hebrew, לצאת שם רע (leave a bad name/reputation), is the equivalent of "getting a bad reputation" in English? In other words, where we would say "get", in Hebrew the idea is "leave" (which is actually quite logical lol).

Am I way off target here?

Thanks,

Victor
