how to ask “are you armed?” in Hebrew
אַתָּה חָמוּשׁ?
Suppose you’re a man entering a shopping mall in Tel Aviv. The security guard is likely to pose a question:
אַתָּה חָמוּשׁ?
He’s asking whether you’re carrying a weapon.
חמוש is a masculine adjective. In a more rare event where a woman entering the mall is asked whether she’s armed, the guard might ask:
אַתְּ חֲמוּשָׁה?
A variant and a kiss
A variation of this question is:
יֵשׁ לְךָ נֶשֶׁק?
Do you have a weapon?
and, to a female:
יֵשׁ לָךְ נֶשֶׁק?
