Hamutal, I have good news! |
Hamutal: |
Well, Tell (me) |
Sal'it: |
Doron got engaged! |
Hamutal: |
How nice! Are you happy? |
Sal'it: |
Very. I'm really overjoyed! |
Hamutal: |
Do you know his fiancee and her family? |
Sal'it: |
Her name is Neta, She's marvelous. She's studying medicine. |
Hamutal: |
Have you met your inlaws? |
Sal'it: |
Not yet. I'm a bit worried. I sent them a letter and suggested that they come over for dinner and they haven't answered yet. |
Hamutal: |
Did you send an email or by mail. |
Sal'it: |
I sent by mail. I thought that was more polite. |
Hamutal: |
Don't worry. As of late the mail really isn't functioning. |
Sal'it: |
Nevertheless. I sent (it) two weeks ago. I fear there's a reason to worry. |
Hamutal: |
If you're right then I'm sorry to hear that. And I'm also surprised! Your Doron is a fantastic fellow. |
Sal'it: |
I'm undecided. . . whether to ask Doron if he senses any unpleasantness from her parents' side. |
Hamutal: |
I hesitate to get involved, but I in your place (If I were) would wait. I wouldn't do anything. it's likely that there is a totally simple reason. Maybe they will call and apologize for not replying immediately. Actually I once had a similar experience . . .
|
Sal'it: |
Wait a sec. The mail just arrived. Look! a letter from them. I'm opening (it). Wait a minute. They will come! Oh what a relief!
|
Hamutal: |
No body is as wise as somebody with experience. Mazal Tov.ee you latter.

What is the word אֶת ?
See 2.15 for an explanation of ה "the"
When the word that the ה is attached to is a direct object, then אֶת comes before the word.(We often use violet or another color for things you haven't learned yet.)
