Perhaps you know the Hebrew word for secret – סוד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-2.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-3.m4a” /]בוא, דני, אספר לך סוד.

Come, Danny, I’ll tell you a secret.

That which is secret or confidential is סודי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-1.m4a” /], so that top secret is סודי ביותר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-4.m4a” /] – literally, most secret.

Likewise, confidentiality is סודיות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-5.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-6.m4a” /]יש לכבד את סודיות המתקשר.

We must respect the confidentiality of the caller.

סודיות also means secrecy, as does חשאיות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/סודי-7.m4a” /].
