| Survival Phrases lesson 2 - You’re Welcome in Hebrew |
| In today's lesson, we'll continue to learn more phrases that will help you with basic etiquette. Israelis are exceptionably hospitable. They use phrases of gratitude and those related quite often. Even though you may not get the chance to use Ein bead ma ("You're welcome") during your trip in Israel, there's a very good chance you'll hear it. So let's have a closer look at it! |
| In Hebrew, "You're welcome" is Bevakasha. Let’s break it down by syllable, Bevakasha. Now, let’s hear it once again, Bevakasha. The word Bevakasha means, "You're welcome." Let’s break it down this word and hear it one more time, Bevakasha. |
| You can also respond to someone who has thanked you by using two very similar expressions. They are Ein bead ma, which literally means, "it's nothing," and Ze beseder, which means, "it's okay." Let’s break it down Ein bead ma by syllable, Ein bead ma. Now, let’s hear it once again, Ein bead ma. Let’s break it down Ze beseder by syllable, Ze beseder. Now, let’s hear it once again, Ze beseder. |
| Remember, Ein bead ma means, "it's nothing," and Ze beseder means, "It's okay." |
| Of the expressions we have seen, please keep in mind that we can use Bevakasha, Ein bead ma, and Ze beseder in any situation, formal or informal. |
| Ok, to close out today's lessons, we would like you to practice what you have just learned. I’ll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you’re responsible for shouting it out loud. You’ll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so Behatzlacha! which means “Good luck!” in Hebrew. |
| “You're welcome.” - Bevakasha. |
| “It's nothing.” - Ein bead ma. |
| “It's okay.” - Ze beseder. |
| Jessi: Alright! That's going to do it for today. Remember to stop by HebrewPod101.com and pick up the accompanying PDF. If you stop by, be sure to leave us a comment! |

Hi Daniel and Clark,
Thanks for posting!
@Daniel - seems like you already have a good foundation of Hebrew! we hope you'll enjoy our lessons!
@Clark - The literal translation of "God Bless you" is actually: אלוהים יברך אותך (elohim yevarekh otkha/otakh). But you are right - לבריאות - as you wrote - is what people usually say after someone sneezes 😄
Yours,
