For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/באופן-טבעי-#.m4a” /]אנחנו מבשלים עם רכיבים טבעיים בלבד. We cook with natural ingredients only. To say naturally, add the word באופן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/באופן-טבעי-#.m4a” /] before טבעי.

But departing from the trend, this one’s for girls (at least usually). Grammatically, though,  כרם (meaning vineyard) – is masculine. That’s why the following sentence uses היה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/כרם-#.m4a” /] (a masculine conjugation) and not הייתה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/כרם-#.m4a” /] (a feminine conjugation) for was: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/כרם-#.m4a” /]לשלמה…

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/להתעלם-#.m4a” /]לְהִתְעַלֵּם The Hebrew word for world is עולם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/להתעלם-#.m4a” /], though the Biblical meaning is eternity. The root of עולם is ע.ל.מ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/להתעלם-#.m4a” /] meaning concealment. So when ע.ל.מ gets plugged into the reflexive התפעל verb form, we get to ignore (to pretend that something is not there) – להתעלם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/להתעלם-#.m4a” /].

Something wooden is מעץ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מעץ-1.m4a” /]. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מעץ-3.m4a” /]פינוקיו הוא ילד מעץ. Pinocchio is a wooden boy. Though מעץ could also mean made of wood, the more common expression is the literal translation: עשוי מעץ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מעץ-4.m4a” /]. For…
