how to say “email” in Hebrew
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מייל-1.m4a” /]דֹּאַר אֶלֶקְטְרוֹנִי, מֵיְיל
The proper Hebrew term for email (well, it’s half Hebrew) is דואר אלקטרוני[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מייל-2.m4a” /] – literally, electronic mail. The term is abbreviated in writing to דוא”ל.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מייל-3.m4a” /]שלחתי לה את הקובץ בדוא”ל.
I sent her the file via email.
But the word used far more commonly is simply מייל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מייל-4.m4a” /], whose plural is מיילים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מייל-5.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מייל-6.m4a” /]אני מקבל יותר מדי מיילים.
I get too many emails.
