[Gal laughs]
Hello, my name is Gal Gadot,
and today I will be teaching you Hebrew slang.
[lively music]
This is an easy one.
It says [speaks Hebrew].
[speaks Hebrew] is like brother.
Yo bro, what's up? [speaks Hebrew]
You know? Brother, dude.
That's a good one.
[speaks Hebrew] means cow cow. [laughs]
And it's basically when you go,
when you do something, you do it [speaks Hebrew].
You do it slowly but surely. One step at a time.
[speaks Hebrew]. Cow cow.
Oh, this one I use all the time. [speaks Hebrew]
[speaks Hebrew] in English means no evil eye.
And that's basically what it means, against evil eye.
[speaks Hebrew]. I also add [speaks Hebrew].
Against evil eyes. [speaks Hebrew]
[Gal laughs]
Okay, [speaks Hebrew] is a shortened version
to say [speaks Hebrew],
which means waste of time, but in a good way.
It's like when something is [speaks Hebrew],
it's like, it's [speaks Hebrew].
It's like, you won't believe
how incredible this thing is, it's....
Yeah. [speaks Hebrew]
[Gal laughs]
Okay. Try to say it with me.
[Gal speaks Hebrew]
[speaks Hebrew] in English means third time ice cream
and it basically means third time's a charm.
That's what it means in English.
[Gal speaks Hebrew]
[chuckles] That's a good one.
[speaks Hebrew] means like,
okay, what's the bottom line?
Let's cut to the chase. [speaks Hebrew]
[speaks Hebrew] is a word
that Israelis use all the time.
[speaks Hebrew] and it basically means let's go.
Let's do it. No time.
[Gal speaks Hebrew]
Everyone who works with me
heard me say [speaks Hebrew] 20 times at least.
This is an easy one.
It's [speaks Hebrew] means fire.
And just like in English, in American slang,
when you say fire it's like [speaks Hebrew], fire.
Then we have a very interesting one.
[speaks Hebrew] which means, what am, I a goat?
[Gal laughs]
And the meaning of [speaks Hebrew]
is basically, what am I, a dummy-dumb?
I'm not stupid. You know what I mean?
That's what it means. [speaks Hebrew]
[speaks Hebrew] It would mean in English
what all of the sudden.
I know, I know it doesn't make much sense
but [speaks Hebrew] in Hebrew means no way.
What are you talking about? [speaks Hebrew]
Okay.
[Gal laughs]
Okay, I don't know how to explain this
but this means [speaks Hebrew]
basically crap in Jews and [laughs].
And it's like, it's BS.
It's nonsense. It's [speaks Hebrew].
This one means [speaks Hebrew].
When something is [speaks Hebrew], it means it's amazing.
It's unbelievable. It's [speaks Hebrew].
Usually we say [speaks Hebrew]
which means kills the health. [laughs]
It kills your health. It's amazing.
I can't even say any other thing,
'cause it's [speaks Hebrew].
I hope I'm being a good teacher here.
Okay. That's a good one.
[speaks Hebrew] in English,
it means cabbage head.
Not like the doll, but it means
like you say, honestly, they hardly ever use it now.
They don't use it anymore.
It's like an old-school type of term
of someone who's not so smart.
Someone who's stupid and naive, maybe.
He's [speaks Hebrew].
Just as a bonus, I want to give you
one term that I love using,
and I use it all the time and it's positive,
that we say in Hebrew
and it means [speaks Hebrew],
which means in English, flying on you. [laughs]
And basically when you say [speaks Hebrew],
it means that I love you so much
or I adore you so much
or I'm mad about you.
[Gal speaks Hebrew]
So [speaks Hebrew] Vanity Fair.
