The Hebrew word for normal is נורמלי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/נורמליות-#.m4a” /], adding the י-[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/נורמליות-#.m4a” /] ending to the borrowed word נורמל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/נורמליות-#.m4a” /], thus making it an adjective.
To create the word normalcy, we add the יות-[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/נורמליות-#.m4a” /] ending (just as English adds -ness to the end of a word), so that the normalcy is נורמליות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/נורמליות-#.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/נורמליות-#.m4a” /]אנחנו מתחילים לחזור לסוג של נורמליות.
We’re starting to return to a sort of normalcy.
