More than one board or tablet is לוחות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/לוח-מחיק-#.m4a” /]. A whiteboard in Hebrew is לוח מחיק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/לוח-מחיק-#.m4a” /] – literally, an erasable board.

You may recognize its root in the active-simple verb לקנות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/קניין-רוחני-6.m4a” /] – to buy. Though in biblical times קניין was a common word for property, today…

It means literally failure, but Israelis use it to refer to a mess-up or mistake, as in: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/פשלה-#.m4a” /]עשיתי פשלה, אבל אני מקווה שהחומוס בכל זאת יצא טעים!
