[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-בנהיגה-1.m4a” /]אֲנִי בִּנְהִיגָה
In Biblical Hebrew, לנהוג[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-בנהיגה-2.m4a” /] means to conduct. Modern Hebrew extends לנהוג to include conducting a vehicle or driving.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-בנהיגה-3.m4a” /]היא כבר נוהגת?
Does she drive yet?
The act of driving is נהיגה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-בנהיגה-4.m4a” /]. To say, I’m driving, you say, אני בנהיגה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-בנהיגה-1.m4a” /] – literally, I’m in (the act of) driving.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/אני-בנהיגה-5.m4a” /]היא לא יכולה לדבר עכשיו – היא בנהיגה.
She can’t talk now – she’s driving.
