Heblish – Hebrew lessons: Day 30
Vocabulary
Free Hebrew lessons – July 2010 – Training – Day 30:
Hi,
I hope that our American and Canadian friends enjoyed their Independence Days. Next Wednesday it will be our French students’ turn. Hooray, here comes Bastille Day. Now I need to figure out what I’m gonna buy my wife, because Bastille Day, July 14th, is also my anniversary… 
Today we’ll continue to enrich our vocabulary.
In our previous lesson we learned the words for: flower (pera^), plastic bag (sakit), stem (givol), vase (agartal) and bouquet (zer).
Today’s menu: Vocabulary
Attention: The underlined letters represent the accent.
Flight
For flight you should say “tisa” in Hebrew.
– My flight number is 714 – mispar ha’tisa sheli 714. (number – mispar, my – sheli)
– (Talking to a woman) What is your flight number? – ma mispar ha’tisa shela^?
(“Your,” when talking to a women is shela^, when talking to a man, it is shel^a.
We learned “mine, your, his” and “her” in Lesson 21).
– My flight number is the same – mispar ha’tisa sheli hu oto davar. (“my” or “mine” is sheli, “the same” – oto davar).
Airplane
For airplane or plane you should say “matos” in Hebrew.
– This is our plane – ze ha’matos shelanu. (our – shelanu)
– Our plane is very big – ha’matos shelanu gadol meod. (big – gadol, very – meod)
Luggage and suitcase
For suitcase you should say “mizvada” in Hebrew, but for “suitcases” or for “luggage” you should say “mizvadot,” which is the plural of mizvada.
– Hey, where is my red suitcase? – hey, eifo ha’mizvada ha’aduma sheli? (red – adom (m), aduma (f))
– Oh, sorry, I took your suitcase – oh, sli^a, laka^ti et ha’mizvada shela^.
– Thanks very much – toda raba.
– (talking to a taxi driver) Hi, here is my luggage – shalom (or hi), hine ha’mizvadot sheli.

I don’t know about you, but after all that talk of “flights” and “suitcases,” I’m ready to jump on an airplane and go somewhere! Why don’t you write to me through our Facebook Group and tell me where you would like to travel… ;-)

Hi Yaron, I am catching up lesson 30. I saw the word the same
oto davar. Is it always oto davar or is it oto because flight is mail?
so for instance if you speak about the same mizvada do you say
ha’mizvada sheli he ota davar?
Or am I now thinking to male/female
bye,
Conny
Hi Conny,
“Davar” is “thing”.
When you want to say “the same thing” or “the same” you should say “oto davar” for both masculine and feminine.
(f) – Ha’mizvada sheli hi oto davar kmo shela^ (kmo shela^ = like yours).
(m) ha’sefer sheli hu oto davar kmo shela^.
For feminine I say “hi” (sounds like “hee”) – ha’mizvada sheli hi…
For masculine I say “hu” – ha’sefer sheli hu…
