But the more common, more poignant way of saying this, is עבר כל גבול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/עבר-כל-גבול-#.m4a” /] – crosssed every line. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/עבר-כל-גבול-#.m4a” /]מה שהדוגמנית אמרה בראיון אתמול עבר כל גבול….

A more authentically-Hebrew expression is עובר מסך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/עובר-מסך-#.m4a” /], meaning that a person looks good on camera. It means literally passes (the) screen. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/עובר-מסך-#.m4a” /]איך אני נראה לקראת הראיון? עובר מסך? How do I look for…
