Since the invention of the traffic light, red light means stop, and green light means go.
Green light in Hebrew is אור ירוק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/אור-ירוק-1.m4a” /]. Like in English, it’s used both literally and proverbially.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/אור-ירוק-2.m4a” /]הוא נתן לי אור ירוק לפרוייקט!
He gave me a green light for the project!
On the traffic light, we have אור ירוק, as well as אור אדום[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/אור-ירוק-3.m4a” /] – red light and אור צהוב[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/אור-ירוק-4.m4a” /] – yellow light.
