יוֹם הָעַצְמָאוּת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/דגלנות-2.mp3″ /] – Israel Independence Day, as well as some national and nationalistic events, are marked with people marching with flags, creating often beautiful formations.

Drawing upon the Hebrew word for flag – דֶּגֶל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/דגלנות-3.mp3″ /], the word for such flag formations is דַּגְלָנוּת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/דגלנות-1.mp3″ /], while the flag bearer him- or herself is a דַּגְלָן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/דגלנות-4.mp3″ /] or a דַגְלָנִית[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/דגלנות-5.mp3″ /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/דגלנות-6.mp3″ /]יְלָדִים, תִּרְאוּ אֶת הַדַּגְלָנִים, אֵיךְ שֶׁהֵם יוֹצְרִים צוּרוֹת כָּל כָּךְ יָפוֹת!

Kids, look at the flag bearers, how they create such beautiful forms!
