how to say “I’ll know better” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
אֶהְיֶה יוֹתֵר חָכָם, אֶהְיֶה יוֹתֵר חֲכָמָה
“When will the videos be ready?”
“I’ll know better once I manage to find all the right images.”
In Hebrew, instead of saying I’ll know better, we say, אֶהְיֶה יוֹתֵר חָכָם when a male is speaking and אֶהְיֶה יוֹתֵר חֲכָמָה when a female is speaking.
Broken down:
אהיה – I will be – a form of the active-simple פָּעַל verb, לִהְיוֹת (
listen and repeat) – to be
( listen and repeat)
יותר – more – as in more smart
( listen and repeat)
חכם/חכמה – smart, wise
( listen and repeat)
The above dialogue translated:
“מָתַי הַסִּרְטוֹנִים יִהְיוּ מוּכָנִים?”
“אֶהְיֶה יוֹתֵר חָכָם כְּשֶׁאַצְלִיחַ לִמְצוֹא אֶת כָּל הַתְּמוּנוֹת הַמַּתְאִימוֹת.”
