| John: Meaning - "Eventually, Anat convinced me to wear a costume." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| John: Listen again to אייל (Eyal)'s post. |
| Katja: בסוף ענת שיכנעה אותי להתחפש. (basof Anat shikhne'a oti lehitchapes.) |
| John: "Eventually Anat convinced me to wear a costume." |
| Katja: (SLOW) בסוף ענת שיכנעה אותי להתחפש. (basof Anat shikhne'a oti lehitchapes.) (Regular) בסוף ענת שיכנעה אותי להתחפש. (basof Anat shikhne'a oti lehitchapes.) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "to convince." |
| Katja: שיכנע (sikhne'a) |
| John: In Hebrew, it means “to persuade” or “to convince.” It's quite commonly used, as people in Israel love making a point and voicing their opinions... in a charming way, of course! Listen again - "to persuade" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) שיכנע (sikhne'a) (REGULAR) שיכנע (sikhne'a) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "to put on a costume." |
| Katja: התחפש (hitchapes) |
| John: Naturally, this verb is used more around the time of Purim, but it can also be used in the context of spies and detectives. Listen again - "to put on a costume" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) התחפש (hitchapes) (REGULAR) התחפש (hitchapes) |
| John: All together, it’s "Eventually, Anat convinced me to wear a costume." |
| Katja: בסוף ענת שיכנעה אותי להתחפש. (basof Anat shikhne'a oti lehitchapes.) |
