now take some time to figure out what it means before you look at the translation


******************************************************************************

 Where were you? Did you see what time it is?

 Excuse me. I am sorry!

 What happend?

 There were problems because of the strike in Te Aviv

 Which strike?

 The bus strike. Didn't you hear the news?

and a little bit of grammar:

remember the constructed forms used for composite nouns in adding a 't'? here's another example:

shvitah + autobus = shvitat autobus

exactly like

ougah + gvinah = ougat gvinah
