how to say “right-hand man” in Hebrew
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/יד-ימינו-#.m4a” /]יַד יְמִינוֹ
יד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/יד-ימינו-#.m4a” /] means hand, while ימין[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/יד-ימינו-#.m4a” /] means right (the direction). Add a possessive oh ending to ימין and you get יד ימינו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/יד-ימינו-#.m4a” /] – his right-hand (man or woman).
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/יד-ימינו-#.m4a” /]היא יד ימינו של המנכ”ל – היא דואגת לכל מה שצריך.
She’s the right-hand (woman) of the CEO – she takes care of everything that’s necessary.
What if the person with a “right hand” is a female? The expression becomes יד ימינה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/יד-ימינו-#.m4a” /] – her right-hand (man or woman).
And what about my right-hand (person), your right-hand (person), etc? Watch today’s video to practice all these forms.
