Is “sprouts” the most basic or common Hebrew word?
Definitely lo (No).
But is learning a language about your life, your interests, and the things you want to do, get, or find?
Heck, ken (Yes)!
I just started sprouting at home — and I’m obsessed.
These are my home-sprouted broccoli sprouts on a hummus sandwich, and yes, I had to learn how to say it all in Hebrew.
Because after moving to Portugal, and later to the U.S., I learned this the hard way:
The words that matter most in a new country… in a new language...
are the ones that matter to you.
So, here you go:
נבט
/'ne-vet/
One sprout
נבטים
/ne-va-’teem/
Sprouts
אני מנביטה
/a-'nee man-bee-'tah/
I’m sprouting (female)
אני מנביט
/a-'nee man-'beet/
I’m sprouting (male)
When Hebrew fits your life, it sticks.
That’s why I teach patterns — so you can plug in any new word that’s relevant to you and keep moving forward.
Do you sprout? Thinking about it?
