I use date not only in the romantic sense, but also in the broader sense to include things like lunch dates and play dates.
To say it’s a date in Hebrew, use the word קבענו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/קבענו-1.m4a” /] – literally, we’ve set.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/קבענו-2.m4a” /]יום שלישי בקפה גרג בקניון הדר – קבענו!
Tuesday at Cafe Greg at the Hadar Mall – it’s a date!
קבענו is a conjugated form of the simple verb לקבוע[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/קבענו-3.m4a” /] – to set.
Date in the high-fructose sense, to be eaten on ראש השנה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/קבענו-4.m4a” /] – Rosh Hashanah – is תמר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/קבענו-5.m4a” /].
