Hebrew!

[Sirotnikov]

Zylka - Edan's hebrew is.... weak.

Don' trust him

current phrases:

ma nish-ma? (what's up?) (lit: what is sounding?)

eikh holekh? (how's it goin'?) (lit: how's it goin'?)

ma shlomech? (how are you doing? [fem]) (lit: what is your wellbeing?)

ma ha-matzav? (wazzup?) (lit: how is the situation?)

eich at margisha? (how are you feeling? [fem]) (lit: how are you feeling?)

eich haya ha-yom shelach? (how's your day been?) (lit: how has-been the-day yours? [hebrew grammar])

Ani roste zion shelanu

read as it's written it would mean roughly: "I our Zion want". Zion is another name for Jerusalem (which is located on mount. Zion)

What he probably wanted to say was, "I want us to **** / I want to **** you".

In which case it is said "Ziun". And the grammar is all wrong. It would sound: "I want our ****!" which doesn't make any sense unless you add the word "back" which makes it even more ridiculous.

[Zylka]

Thanks a million, Siro

Is that how they're spelled, as well?

[Zylka]

and how about some sweet good byes, like "sweet dreams" - and "talk to you soon"? (Please do leave out if they would seem akward to an Israeli living in North America)

Edit: and PLEASE source me to a full picture of that otter/weasel in your avatar. I owe you three favours, now

[Sirotnikov]

hmmm

halomot metukim - sweet dreams
halomot paz - 'dolgen' greams (paz isn't exactly golden per se but..)

the closest thing to talk to you soon is not very sweet, but a general see you later aka goodbye.
the closest nice sounding thing i thought of is:

nishtame'a - we shall be hearing each other (yes, it's a wierd tense )

but it isn't used often today.


when did she leave Israel? I would be easier to think of the slang for that period.

and spelled in what sense? in english transliteration? yes. In hebrew - you need hebrew fonts.

Otter will be coming up

found it in my apolyton folder

She's a little younger than me, in and out of Israel all the time. How about just a basic good bye?

[Sirotnikov]

goodbyes:

either "bye"
or " lehitra'ot" (goodbye)
or "kol tuv" (all the best) (old fashion)
or what i told you about the dreams thing...

Thats what I said.

I suck at transliteration, but I cant type hebrew characters on the board so....


P.S.-the crappy grammar was intentional

[Sirotnikov]

and of course: (silly me)

layla tov (goodnight)
shena areva (sleep tight) (lit: erm... pleasant sleep)
yesh li haver israeli madlik (i have a cool/hot israeli friend)

sweet dreams is lila tove

[Sirotnikov]

Thats what I said.

no you said "yome" which is "daye"

P.S.-the crappy grammar was intentional

oh yes, I'm sure
It's not that, god forbid, you wouldn't know how to get a f*ck in Israel...

sweet dreams is lila tove

no it isn't.
it's "layla tov" and it means good night - literally
