umbrella -מטרייה

The Hebrew word for umbrella, מטרייה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/מטרייה-1.m4a” /], comes from the word מטר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/מטרייה-2.m4a” /] meaning precipitation (also a fancy word for rain).

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/מטרייה-3.m4a” /]אני מעדיף ללכת בגשם עם כובע, בלי מטרייה.

I prefer walking in the rain with a hat, without an umbrella.
