Nothing pairs better with a hot and humid Israeli summer than מזגן. So what should we say to the taxi driver who’s got all the windows rolled down? And why did the temperature in our trains make national headlines?

What does the phrase תן לו להתבשל mean? As Guy will explain, we can use the verb להתבשל, which means to let something cook, not only when speaking about vegetables, but also about… people!

The Hebrew word בישול means cooking, but it is also used on the football field and in police investigations. Interesting, right?

The Hebrew word העברה (ha’avara) means a transfer of something or someone, usually from one place to another. The transfer could involve money, digital files, and even… football players!

The Hebrew word להעביר is a verb we use a lot. It helps us pass our fare in the מונית שירות, forward emails, transfer money, and even nudge our significant other to change the TV channel

We pick up from where we last left off with the Hebrew root ע.ב.ר. And in this episode, we focus on verbs from binyan paal

There is a lot of ground to cover with the Hebrew root ע.ב.ר., so we will dedicate the next few episodes to it. This episode is all about its nouns

After the terrible tragedy in Har Meron, public calls to find those responsible, האשמים, grow louder. In order to better understand what’s going on in Israeli media, Guy felt it was necessary to cover the shoresh אשמ

This episode is all about the location of the stress we place on spoken Hebrew words and names, and what happens when we shift that emphasis around. Guy explains why the way Israelis and Americans say “Mazal Tov” differs so greatly

This is the 4th and final episode dedicated to the root ק-ד-מ. How do we say, “right of way,” “unprecedented prices” and the “Pre-Eurovision contest” in Hebrew?
