In English we just say on the house to invite someone to partake in goods free of charge. Hebrew gets more specific, with על חשבון הבית[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/על-חשבון-הבית-#.m4a” /] – literally, on the house’s account.

For example

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/על-חשבון-הבית-#.m4a” /]צ’ייסרים היום על חשבון הבית!

Chasers on the house today!

חשבון[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/על-חשבון-הבית-#.m4a” /] means not only account, but also arithmetic.
