Raise your hand if you like going to the dentist. I actually don’t mind. I have good tooth genes. But if you don’t like going, I get it.
The way to say dentist in Hebrew is super-intuitive: רופא שיניים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/רופא-שיניים-1.m4a” /] – literally, teeth doctor, where שיניים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/רופא-שיניים-2.m4a” /] means teeth and רופא[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/רופא-שיניים-3.m4a” /] means doctor. שן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/רופא-שיניים-4.m4a” /] means tooth.
