how to say “looks good on you” in Hebrew
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/יפה-לך-#.m4a” /]יָפֶה לְךָ
You can say to a man in Hebrew, זה נראה טוב עליך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/יפה-לך-#.m4a” /] – literally, this looks good on you. To a woman, switch עליך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/יפה-לך-#.m4a” /] with עלייך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/יפה-לך-#.m4a” /].
But that’s a direct translation from English. A more culturally-authentic Hebrew expression is יפה לךָ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/יפה-לך-#.m4a” /] to a male and יפה לָך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/יפה-לך-#.m4a” /] to a female. These mean literally, nice for you.
For example:

Curls look good on you!
