Grammar Points

In this lesson, we will introduce parting greetings.

As we learned in the previous lesson, Shalom can mean both "hello" and

"goodbye." However, this is not the only way of saying goodbye in Hebrew!

A parting expression that we can use for all occasions is Leitraot, which literally

means "goodbye."

Let's look at another expression. The word Shalom as seen in the previous lesson

also means "goodbye."

We can also use Erev tov, the evening greeting that we saw in the last lesson,

when parting or saying goodbye at night.

Let's look at the components. The first word Erev means, "evening." Tov, which

in Hebrew is "good," follows Erev.

There are also several phrases for saying, "See you later." A more casual way of

saying, "See you later" or "See you soon" in Hebrew is Daber iti. This literally

means, "we talk." 

Cultural Insight

Quick Tip 1

 

The easiest way of saying your goodbyes in Hebrew is by using Shalom! This

word means both "bye" and "take care." Give a slight wave and a loud shalom!

And you'll be just like one of the locals!

Here is some trivia for you! Let's say you are in Israel and you have just said your

hellos to an old woman sitting under a tree, and realize someone has painted

that tree trunk white! Well, in Israel, tree trunks are often painted white with lime

wash primarily to fight ants. Besides, it looks nice and fits in with the scenery.
