POST

John: "What a crazy concert!"
Katja: (SLOW) איזו הופעה מטורפת! (eyzo hofa'a metorefet!) (Regular) איזו הופעה מטורפת! (eyzo hofa'a metorefet!)
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "concert.”
Katja: הופעה (hofa'a)
John: It literally means “show.” You can use this word not only for concerts, but also other types of shows that are not necessarily musical. When saying the word "concert" in Hebrew, you can say…
Katja: קונצרט (kontzert)
John: It means only a classical music concert. Listen again- "concert" is...
Katja: (SLOW) הופעה (hofa'a) (REGULAR) הופעה (hofa'a)
John: Then comes the phrase - “crazy” or “insane.”
Katja: מטורפת (metorefet)
John: When describing a show, an event, a party, etc., this word, which usually holds a negative meaning, takes a positive meaning to describe a strong, electrifying atmosphere or an impressive setting. Listen again - "crazy” or “insane" is...
Katja: (SLOW) מטורפת (metorefet) (REGULAR) מטורפת (metorefet)
John: All together, it’s "What a crazy concert!"
Katja: איזו הופעה מטורפת! (eyzo hofa'a metorefet!)
