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.)

John: Use this expression to show your excitement.
John: His high school friend, תמר (Tamar), uses an expression meaning - "You've set a precedent. Now you'll have to wear a costume every year."
Katja: (SLOW) יצרת תקדים. עכשיו תצטרך להתחפש כל שנה. (yatzarta takdim! akhshav titztarekh lehitchapes kol shana!) (REGULAR) יצרת תקדים. עכשיו תצטרך להתחפש כל שנה. (yatzarta takdim! akhshav titztarekh lehitchapes kol shana!)
