Alright, so the other day I was thinking, “I wanna know how to say ‘film’ in Hebrew.” You know, just one of those random thoughts that pop into your head. So, I started digging around to figure this out.
First, I hit up some websites that have Hebrew phrases and stuff. I found a few that listed common words and expressions, but nothing specific about movies. They had all these proverbs and idioms, which were cool, but not what I needed. I skimmed through them, but nothing about movies, or going to watch movie.
- “Famous Hebrew Proverbs Hebrew Sayings”
- “Beautiful Hebrew Quotes More Hebrew Proverbs”
- “Best Hebrew Idioms Hebrew Expressions”
Then I remembered there are these shows everyone’s been talking about, like “Twenty-Five Twenty-One”. I figured maybe they have some quotes or something related to film. I checked out some quote websites and fan pages, but it was mostly just drama stuff, not really helpful for learning Hebrew words about movies.
I also stumbled upon a site with basic Hebrew phrases, like “Good morning” (bok-er tov) and “Thank you very much” (to-da). That was kinda neat, but still not what I was looking for. They had a list of “essential” Hebrew words, but again, nothing about film. Also, I saw “useful phrases in Hebrew” in one website.
So, I decided to be more specific. I searched for “Hebrew words for going to the movies.” That’s when I found something useful. There was this one site that had a whole section on movie-related words. Finally!
They had all the basics, like how to say “movie” (seret), “cinema” (kolnoa), and “popcorn” (popcorn, lol). They even had phrases like “Let’s go to the movies” (bo nelech la’kolnoa) and “What’s playing?” (ma makrin?).
Here’s what I learned:
- Movie – סרט (seret)
- Cinema – קולנוע (kolnoa)
- Let’s go to the movies – בוא נלך לקולנוע (bo nelech la’kolnoa)
- What’s playing? – מה מקרין? (ma makrin?)
So yeah, that’s how I ended up learning how to talk about movies in Hebrew. It was a bit of a journey, but I got there in the end. Now I can impress my friends with my newfound Hebrew skills, or at least ask them if they want to go see a seret. Haha!
