Greetings, basic words and expressions

Most of the sentences below are used for the everyday life conversations, so they might come handy if you memorize them.


Greetings:

You can also start a conversation in Hebrew asking the question 'How is your peace?'.

Ani beseder (beseder means 'in order')


hakol tov (everything is fine)
