Yesterday we saw that the Hebrew word for satellite is לוויין[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/צלחת-לוויין-#.m4a” /].

What about a satellite dish? That’s צלחת לוויין[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/צלחת-לוויין-#.m4a” /] – literally satellite plate.

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/צלחת-לוויין-#.m4a” /]צלחת הלוויין שלך תעמוד בפני הרוח? היא לא עדינה מדי?

Will your satellite dish withstand the wind? It’s not too fragile (gentle)?
