Hi Jeannet,

Thanks for commenting.

First - מאחר is the verb, (to be late), while מאוחר just means "late" (as in "The package arrived too late" - החבילה הגיעה מאוחר מדי)

To develop a new hobby - לפתח תחביב חדש - yes - this phrasing sounds better in Hebrew.

‘lehipagesh’ and ‘lifgosh’ - There is a slight different 'lifgosh' can be an unplanned encounter, while 'lehipagesh' is more fitting for a planned meeting or so...

Thanks for the editing suggestion - I'll look into it :)

Yours,

Is there a difference in meaning between 'lehipagesh' and 'lifgosh'?

I start a new hobby --> I start to develop a new hobby?

A bit confused. What is the difference between 'ani me'acher' (piel) and 'ani me'uchar' (pual)?

Hi Jeannet Benschop,

Thanks for commenting!

In this context, Bo "בו" means - in him. similarly, 'In me' will be "בי" and 'In her' is "בה".'א'

"בוא" with an 'א' in the end, means "come (here)".

Happy to help,

Shalom!

Trying to figure the meaning of 'bo' in this sentence on the first line: ani bokher makom le'hipagesh bo im khaver sheli. Can you explain?

Thank you!

Jeannet

Oh, you mean that I left the aleph out of the verb. Thanks again for your help.

Mostly I understand. What does " 'א" mean where you used it in your response?

Hi Shelley,

Good work!

Please allow me to correct the sentence:

" נשארתי זמן רב מדי במכירה, איפה שמצאתי מציאות ממש טובות . אני לא רוצה לאחר לפעילויות ההתנדבותיות שלי

Notice a few important corrections -

נשארתי with א'

we don't really use "sale" in the same way it's used in English, I edited to "מכירה" but to be honest it's also not perfect... since נשארתי (I stayed) refers to a real location I would just say נשארתי בחנות (I stayed in the store) or similar...

לפעילות ההתנדבותית with another ה before the התנדבותית.

Keep up the good work! :smile:

I stayed too long at a sale where I found really good bargains. I don't want to be late for my volunteer activities. נשרתי זמן רב מדי במבצע איפה מצאתי ממש מציאות טובות . אני לא רוצה לאחר לפעילויות התנדבותיות שלי
