If you’ve taken a course with Ulpan La-Inyan, you’ve heard the instruction: הקשיבו וחזרו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-2.m4a” /] – listen and repeat.

Broken down, that phrase comprises:

הקשיבו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-3.m4a” /] – listen, when speaking to more than one person. It’s an imperative (command) form of להקשיב[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-4.m4a” /] – to listen.

חזרו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-5.m4a” /] – repeat, an imperative form of לחזור[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-6.m4a” /] – to return or go back, as well as to repeat.

So I repeat is אני חוזר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-1.m4a” /] when spoken by a male, and אני חוזרת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-7.m4a” /] when spoken by a female.

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-חוזר-8.m4a” /]לא להיכנס לבריכה. אני חוזר, לא להיכנס לבריכה.

Do not go into the pool. I repeat, do not go into the pool.
