►►►I hope (that) you've studied your homework - אני מקווה
►►►שלמדתם את שיעורי הבית שלכם
►►►I hope you understood - אני מקווה שהבנתם
01:10 - how do we form the FUTURE for YOU (את אתה אתם
►►►אתן
)?
01:50 - Future is First, so we should take the first letter and put ►►►it in the first position, but… there is a problem of the first ►►►letter for "you" word! It's the same for all "you" pronouns –
►►►"ת"!
02:10 - What do we do? מה עושים?
►►►We will try – ננסה
►►►to take the second letter, may be? But the second letter is ►►►also the same!
►►►Do you see the problem? אתם רואים את הבעיה?
►►►Something is not ok! משהו לא בסדר כאן!
03:08 - what's the solution?
►►►First of all, one form out of the four takes "the pure" form, ►►►as it should have been, with only ת as prefix.
►►►Which? Masculine singular, of course! אתה!
►►►Will you come tomorrow? TAVO MAKHAR? תבוא מחר?
05:50 - solutions for the rest -
►►►we add "a patch" at the end!

►►►for אתם / אתן, for example, it's "u" at the end.
►►►You (plural) will study – TILMEDU - תלמדו
►►►You (plural) will ask many questions – TISH'ALU HARBE ►►►SHEELOT - תשאלו הרבה שאלות
►►►Talk to him at work! TEDABRU ITO BAAVODA - תדברו איתו
►►►בעבודה
09:40 - adding "patch" for את - "i"
►►►You (fem. Sing.) will study tomorrow – TILMEDI
►►►MAKHAR - תלמדי מחר
►►►If you will pay attention (notice) you will understand – IM ►►►TASIMI LEV TAVINI - אם תשימי לב תביני
11:37 - summary
12:00 - surprise! :)
►►►"Two in one"! Future=Imperative!

►►►TENASI LISH'OL OTO, ULAI HU YODEA

►►►לשאול אותו!
►►►TENASE LISH'OL OTO!

►►►TENASI LAASOT ET ZE!
►►►Try (addressed to masc. sing.אתה) to do it! תנסה לעשות

►►►Meaning? Something like "to have enough time to do ►►►something" :)
