While לכתוב[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/רושם-ראשוני-#.m4a” /] is to write, לרשום[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/רושם-ראשוני-#.m4a” /] is to jot down, essentially to make an impression on a piece of paper. Likewise, רושם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/רושם-ראשוני-#.m4a” /] is an impression.

And a first impression is רושם ראשוני[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/רושם-ראשוני-#.m4a” /], literally initial impression.

For example:

Your smile will make a good first impression, Rona.
