POST
John: Listen again to ענת (Anat)'s post.
Katja: קצת ריפוי בשופינג עם אחותי המהממת. (ketsat ripuy be'shopping im achoti ha'mehamemet)
John: "A bit of shopping therapy with my stunning sister."
Katja: (SLOW) קצת ריפוי בשופינג עם אחותי המהממת. (ketsat ripuy be'shopping im achoti ha'mehamemet) (Regular) קצת ריפוי בשופינג עם אחותי המהממת. (ketsat ripuy be'shopping im achoti ha'mehamemet)
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "shopping therapy."
Katja: ריפוי בשופינג (ripuy be'shopping)
John: You can just say "I'm going shopping" or "doing some shopping," but when calling it "shopping therapy," you emphasize the fun and relaxing aspects of it, especially when done with someone dear to you, like your sister. Listen again- "shopping therapy" is...
Katja: (SLOW) ריפוי בשופינג (ripuy be'shopping) (REGULAR) ריפוי בשופינג (ripuy be'shopping)
John: Then comes the phrase - "stunning."
Katja: מהממת (mehamemet)
John: This word is often used by girls to describe their best friend, sister or mom - to show how loved she is and to show appreciation for her beauty- inside and out. Listen again - "stunning" is...
Katja: (SLOW) מהממת (mehamemet) (REGULAR) מהממת (mehamemet)
John: All together, it’s "a bit of shopping therapy with my stunning sister."
Katja: קצת ריפוי בשופינג עם אחותי המהממת. (ketsat ripuy be'shopping im achoti ha'mehamemet)
