how to say “a sampling” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
Yesterday, we had the Hebrew word for a demo – הַדְגָּמָה (hahd-gah-MAH) – because I’m doing a demo of Ulpan La-Inyan in Raanana this Sunday.
 
To wish you a peaceful, turkey-filled Shabbat (for some of you, at least), I’m going to present a related word: a sampling – דְּגִימָה (de-ghee-MAH). 

For example, אֲנִי אוֹכַל רַק דְּגִימָה שֶׁל פַּשְׁטִידַת הַדְּלַעַת (ah-NEE oh-KHAHL rahk de-ghee-MAH shel pahsh-tee-DAHT hah-DLAH-aht) – I’ll have (literally, eat) only a sampling of the pumpkin pie.
 
Yeah, right.
 
Shabbat Shalom and good weekend to all. If you’re from Raanana or the area, perhaps I’ll see you on Sunday!
