how to say “technical difficulty” (solved) in Hebrew

תַּקָּלָה טֶכְנִית

Those of you receiving Your Daily Dose of Hebrew via email may have been disappointed over the past few days, since no emails have gone out.

If you’re receiving this one, the problem has been solved.

Here’s how to say glitch in Hebrew – תַּקָּלָה

(among other definitions).

For example:

הַתַּקָּלָה הַטֶּכְנִית נִפְתְּרָה, וְחָזַרְנוּ לַשֵּׁרוּת הָרָגִיל.

The technical glitch has been solved, and we’ve returned to (the) normal service.

Note that נפתרה

in this case means was solved, not passed away. That would be נִפְטְרָה

. Both are passive/reflexive simple verbs.

I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

And I’m excited to be back!

I was more impressed with the existential, religious and deeply-human aspects of the film; nevertheless, the special effects were spectacular. One Hebrew word for spectacular is מַרְהִיב . This active-causative הִפְעִיל verb derives from the root ר.ה.ב…
