how to say “faith” in Hebrew
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /]אֱמוּנָה
To trust or rely on someone is לסמוך על מישהו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /]אני סומך עליו בעיניים עצומות.
I trust him with (my) eyes shut.
But to believe in someone or something – to have faith in them – is -להאמין ב[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /]את יכולה, שרה. אני מאמין בך.
You can, Sarah. I believe in you.
Likewise, faith itself is אמונה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /]פסח הוא חג האמונה.
Passover is the holiday of faith.
I am taking off the week of Passover, so the next Dose of Hebrew will arrive after the holiday.
חג שמח[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/אמונה-#.m4a” /] – happy holiday!
