how to say “vacuum cleaner” in Hebrew
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/שואב-אבק-1.m4a” /]שׁוֹאֵב אָבָק
The Hebrew word for dust is אבק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/שואב-אבק-2.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/שואב-אבק-3.m4a” /]רוח מדברית מביאה איתה הרבה אבק.
A desert wind brings with it lots of dust.
And a vacuum cleaner? Though it’s often called a הובר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/שואב-אבק-4.m4a” /] after the successful brand (Hoover), many Israelis call it שואב אבק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/שואב-אבק-1.m4a” /] – something that draws dust.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/שואב-אבק-5.m4a” /]אנחנו חייבים שואב אבק, דחוף!
We need a vacuum cleaner – urgently!
