| Survival Phrases Lesson 24 - Riding the Bus: What's the Next Stop? |
| In the previous lesson, we learned how to ask the bus driver if the bus covers your destination. Once on the bus, you'll hear announcements informing the passengers about where the bus will stop next. In Israel, it will be normal that most of the announcements you hear are just in Hebrew. In the case that there is no English announcement, you may not catch the location they announce. Thus, the phrase "What is the next stop?" may be indispensable. ?מַה הַתַּחֲנָה הַבָּאַה, Ma hatakhana haba'a? |
| The first word is מַה, Ma, which is a pronoun in Hebrew meaning "which or what." הַתַּחֲנָה, Hatakhana follows this, which we learned in previous lessons means "the station." Finally, we have הַבָּאַה, Haba'a meaning, "the next." Let's now break down these words and hear them one more time, Ma hatakhana haba'a? |
| Another way of inquiring could be to ask if your desired destination is the next stop. For this phrase, we'll use כִּיכַּר הַמֵדִינָה, Kikar hamedina, the most famous square in Tel Aviv, as the destination. In Hebrew, the phrase is ?תָחַנָה הַבָּאַה זֶה כִּיכַּר הַמֵדִינָה, Takhana haba'a ze kikar hamedina? "Is Kikar hamedina the next stop?" Let's break down these words and hear the entire sentence one more time, ?תָחַנָה הַבָּאַה זֶה כִּיכַּר הַמֵדִינָה, Takhana haba'a ze kikar hamedina? |
| Ok, to close out today's lesson, 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 !בְּהַצְלָחָה, Behatzlacha! which means "Good luck!" in Hebrew. |
| "What is the next stop?" - ?מַה הַתַּחֲנָה הַבָּאַה, Ma hatakhana haba'a? |
| "Next stop is Kikar hamedina?" - ?תָחַנָה הַבָּאַה זֶה כִּיכַּר הַמֵדִינָה, Takhana haba'a ze kikar hamedina? |
