how to say “to slam the door” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

To close the door is לִסְגּוֹר אֶת הַדֶּלֶת (lees-GOHR et hah-DEH-let).
 
But to slam it is לִטְרוֹק אוֹתָהּ  (leet-ROHK oh-AH).
 
If you want to say in Hebrew to a boy, don’t slam the door!, it’s אַל תִּטְרוֹק אֶת הַדֶּלֶת (ahl teet-ROHK et hah-DEH-let).
