POST
John: Listen again to אייל (Eyal)'s post.
Katja: אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!)
John: "Love you, my beautiful!"
Katja: (SLOW) אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!) (Regular) אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!)
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "love you."
Katja: אוהב אותך (ohev othach)
John: This sentence is missing the subject,
Katja: אני (ani)
John: ...which means "I.” It makes the expression a bit more casual and less dramatic or romantic, but it’s still a lovely way to express emotions. Listen again - "love you" is...
Katja: (SLOW) אוהב אותך (ohev othach) (REGULAR) אוהב אותך (ohev othach)
John: Then comes the phrase - "my beautiful."
Katja: יפה שלי (yafa sheli)
John: This is a very romantic thing to say in Hebrew. Its meaning is "you are beautiful and you are mine.” In a more subtle manner, it's also saying - "to me, you are the most beautiful." Listen again - "my beautiful" is...
Katja: (SLOW) יפה שלי (yafa sheli) (REGULAR) יפה שלי (yafa sheli)
John: All together, it’s "Love you, my beautiful!"
Katja: אוהב אותך, יפה שלי! (ohev otach, yafa sheli!)
