If you’ve been to a Hebrew class before, you probably know the word for teacher – מורֶה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /] if he’s a male and מורָה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /] if she’s a female.
Kids use המורָה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /] and המורֶה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /] – literally, the teacher – to refer to their teacher, just like English speaking kids refer to Ms. X or Mr. Y.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /]המורה, אני צריך שירותים.
Mr. Y, I (a male) need the restroom.
Private, in Hebrew, is פרטי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /]. Thus a private teacher or a private tutor is מורה פרטי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/מורה-פרטי-#.m4a” /]מורה פרטי יגיע אליכם עד הבית!
A private tutor will come (to you) to your doorstep!
