Let’s talk about one of the least intuitive words in Hebrew.

Please.

It’s not the easiest one to guess…

But here’s the good news:

It’s also the word for “there you go” (like when a waiter brings your food)

And for “you’re welcome”

One tricky word — three super useful meanings.

You’ll hear it everywhere in Israel.

Save the video so that you have it in your pocket whenever you need it

Then drop a comment if you’ve ever heard it used in a way that surprised you!

I'm new here. Here's my #introduction.

My name is Mim; I live in a tiny apartment in a tiny village amongst the fields and farms of rural #Nebraska.

I love sewing, drawing, playing the piano, baking, and crafting. I'm doing the #OdinProject with my daughter to refresh and relearn web development, the newest challenge in my life.

I believe in #manners, #creativity, #honesty, #positivity, #humor, #kindness, and #imagination.

I look forward to meeting you!

When someone asks a question and the person replys; the correct response is: Thanks! That's a minimum response and if 6 lettters are beyond your typing ability drag your heavy cursor and hit the star.
Ignorance is bliss execpt when it is just rude.
Courtesy costs nothing but pays in spades.

If Trump is your man,
you're surely no fan of heart,
conscience, and manners.

A quotation from Judith Martin

Miss Manners is amazed at the number of otherwise gentle souls who turn nasty when they are driving. And they all suffer from the wonderful, ostrich-like delusion that they cannot be identified because they are safely inside their cars. It seems silly to her to have to say what good driving manners are. They are the same as the simplest, most obvious of non-driving manners, except that each person is surrounded by thousands of dollars of treacherous metal.

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]

Trump’s ambush of Zelensky killed #diplomacy

Instead of analyzing its political impact, let’s focus on details of #manners, gestures. It may seem less important, but reveal more about underlying basic stance

The #behavior of 2 #arrogant, self-assured US politicians treating the leader of #Ukraine in extremely #disrespectful, #brutal manner. The only country whose representatives using such brutal language is #Russia

#Manners What is it, that prevents people from having the class, manners & education to say hi & thanks back, when I greet them & thank them for a follow, ratherh than the standard silent like. It's not rocket science, it's called SOCIAL media, these are so-called writers & communicators? SMH...

A quotation from Judith Martin

Etiquette systems of one kind or another govern all social intercourse, formal and informal, which is why faulty ones are able to do so much damage. A system that denies the innate human need for dignity to specific categories of people, typically the poor and the enslaved, fosters incendiary resentment.

A quotation from Chamfort

Madame de Tencin was gentle-mannered but quite unscrupulous, capable of absolutely anything. On one occasion people were praising the gentleness of her nature. “Yes,” an abbé commented, “if it was in her interest to poison you, I’m sure she’d choose the pleasantest poison possible.”
 
[Mme de Tencin, avec des manières douces, était une femme sans principes et capable de tout, exactement. Un jour, on louait sa douceur: «Oui, dit l’abbé Trublet, si elle eût eu intérêt de vous empoisonner, elle eût choisi le poison le plus doux.»]
