lesson 77
mini dialogue number 6
ouf! anee ayef!
lama?
ha kanyon gadol midai.
mah kanita?
matanot bishvil bat sheli
matay ha yom houledet shelo?
be yom revi'i
ayef (masc.) tired
ayefah (fem.) tired
ha kanyon the shopping center
kanita you bought (masc.)
matanah (sing.) a present
matanot (plural) presents
yom houledet birthday (natal day)
yom revi'i Wednesday = the fourth day.
*******************************************************************************
revi'i (fourth) רביעי has the same root consonants רבע as arba'a (four) ארבעה
this is lost in the English transcription since v and b are distinct letters and not written with the same letter ב as in Hebrew.
kanyon קניון is closely related to the verb to buy לקנות (liknot) and its
basic 3rd person past tense form קנה (kanah).
liknot : to buy (infinitive)
kanah : he bought,
kantah : she bought,
koneh : I / you / he buy(s) (masc.)
konah : I /you / she buy(s) (fem.)
