how to say “we’re not on the same page” in Hebrew
אֲנַחְנוּ לֹא מְשַׁדְּרִים עַל אֹתוֹ גַּל
In English, we talk about people thinking differently by invoking metaphors such as not quite seeing eye to eye, or not being on the same page.
Hebrew invokes the metaphor of broadcasting:
.אֲנַחְנוּ לֹא מְשַׁדְּרִים עַל אֹתֹו גַּל
We don’t broadcast on the same wavelength.
