| דניאל: מה קרה לך? את כל-כך אדומה! שכחת למרוח קרם שיזוף? |
| אלה: כן. רואים? |
| דניאל: אי אפשר לפספס את זה. מה קרה? |
| אלה: הלכתי לטיול עם האחים שלי. הם אוהבים טיולים והם שכנעו אותי לבוא. |
| דניאל: כן, אבל למה לא לקחת קרם שיזוף? |
| אלה: הם התקשרו אליי מוקדם בבוקר ואמרו לי שהם באים עוד חמש דקות. |
| דניאל: ולא היה לך מספיק זמן להתארגן? |
| אלה: אתה מכיר אותי, לא יכולתי לצאת בלי לשתות קפה, אחרת הייתי מרגישה עייפה כל היום. |
| דניאל: נו? |
| אלה: סיימתי את הקפה ברגע שהם הגיעו ולקחתי את מה שראיתי. לא ראיתי קרם שיזוף. |
| דניאל: לא יכולתם לעצור במכולת או משהו? |
| אלה: לא היה לנו זמן לעצור כי זה היה טיול ארוך. למרות הכוויות, היה לי ממש כיף. |
| Sherah: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |

| Ella: Yes. you can tell? |

| Ella: I went on a trip with my brothers. They love hikes and they convinced me to come. |
| Daniel: Yes, but why didn't you take sunscreen? |
| Ella: They called me early in the morning and told me they were coming in five minutes. |
| Daniel: And you didn't have enough time to get organized? |
| Ella: You know me. I couldn't leave without drinking coffee, or else I would have felt tired all day. |
| Daniel: Well? |
| Ella: I finished my coffee at the moment they arrived and I took whatever I saw. I didn't see any sunscreen. |
| Daniel: You couldn't stop at a grocery store or something? |
| Ella: We didn't have time to stop because it was a long trip. In spite of the sunburn, I had a lot of fun. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Sherah: Other than the sunburn, it seems like Ella had a good day. |
| Amir: Yeah. I love hiking. |

| Sherah: Are there any trails that you recommend? |
| Amir: The Israel National Trail, שביל ישראל, is very famous. It’s about 1000 km and takes about 45 to 60 days to complete. |
| Sherah: Wow, that’s much longer than I was expecting! Do many people walk it? |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Sherah: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Amir: קרם שיזוף |
| Sherah: meaning "sunscreen." What can you tell us about this? |
| Amir: This noun is a construct noun, or a סמיכות. This means that the second noun defines the first. |
| Sherah: We know what type of lotion it is because the second word tells us. |
| Amir: When adding the prefix -ה, or "the", to smikhut constructs, it is added to the second word to make קרם השיזוף. |
| Sherah: Is that always the case? |
| Amir: Well, in everyday speech, this rule is disregarded and the prefix is added to the first word only. |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. אל תשכח לקחת איתך קרם שיזוף, שלא תישרף. |
| Sherah: ..which means "Don't forget to take sunscreen with you, so you won’t get a sunburn." Okay, what's the next word? |
| Amir: לשכנע |
| Sherah: meaning "to convince." What can you tell us about this word? |
| Amir: This is an irregular verb that belongs to a rare sub-group of pi’el called Shif’el. |
| Sherah: And it means “to convince”? |
| Amir: It has two meanings - the first is “to influence or convince someone to do something.” |
| Sherah: And the second? |
| Amir: “To make someone believe something is wrong or right.” |
| Sherah: So, can you give us an example using this word? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. הם שכנעו אותי שכדור הארץ שטוח. |
| Sherah: .. that means "They convinced me that the Earth is flat." Okay, what's the next word? |
| Amir: להתארגן |
| Sherah: meaning "to get organized." So, what can you tell us about this? |
| Amir: It’s also an irregular verb because it has four root letters when most Hebrew words only have three. |
| Sherah: What are the root letters? |
| Amir: They are are Alef Resh Gimel Nun, א.ר.ג.נ, and its verb stem is Hitpa'el. |
| Sherah: So, what does it mean? |
| Amir: Again, there are two meanings. The first is to become organized, as in to create a union or organization. And the other is to arrange something into an order. |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. אני מתארגן לטיול. |
| Sherah: This means "I'm getting organized for the trip." Okay, let’s move onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
| Sherah: In this lesson, you'll review past tense active verb groups. Amir, can you introduce these to us? |
| Amir: Sure. Firstly, let’s look at Pa’al and Pi’el verb stems. They are both active verb stems. |
| Sherah: So their subject is the agent or actor of the action. |
| Amir: Yes. Usually Pa’al verbs describe simple actions, and Pi’el verbs are more intensive actions. |
| Sherah: How do they conjugate in the past tense? |
| Amir: In the past tense, all conjugations of Pa’al will start with the root letters in the sound pattern ah-ah, followed by the correct suffix. |
| Sherah: And for the other type of verb Pi’el? |
| Amir: Past-tense conjugations of Pi’el will all begin with the first root letter with the vowel sound “ee.” |
| Sherah: Can you give us examples of these past tense verbs? |
| Amir: הוא בישל מרק has a past tense Pi’el verb. |
| Sherah: The sentence means “He made soup.” |
| Amir: הוא אכל מרק has a past tense Pa’al verb. |
| Sherah: It means “He ate soup.” |
| Amir: There is also the Hi’fel stem. This is both active and causative. |
| Sherah: The subject performing the action causes someone or something else to do something. |
| Amir: In the past tense, all conjugations of Hif’il begin with the consonant ה. They all start with a sound pattern of “ee-ah,” except for the third-person conjugations, which starts with the sound pattern “ee-ee.” |
| Sherah: Can we have an example, please? |
| Amir: הוא הכניס כסף למכונה. |
| Sherah: “He put his money in the machine.” |
| Amir: The Hitpa’el stem is intransitive, so it doesn’t need a direct object. |
| Sherah: How does that conjugate in the past tense? |
| Amir: All conjugations will start with the sound heet, -הִת. |
| Sherah: Do you have an example of this type of verb? |
| Amir: הוא התעטש פתאום. |
| Sherah: “He suddenly sneezed.” Listeners, be sure to check out the conjugation tables in the lesson notes for more information and examples. |
Outro |
| Sherah: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Amir: להתראות |
