"הברווז שלי נח."

Translation: My duck is resting.

[LettuceChu]

As a native speaker I have never used that sentence.

This will be my motto for life.
"My duck is having a rest."

So if you visit another country (or currently live outside of Israel) and someone asks you to speak Hebrew, you have a new go-to sentence. Or you could try to start your own slang. How's your duck today? ;)

ha-barváz shelí nach.

[Arancaytar]

The duck is probably tired from calling me so much.

[Wompa77]

Oh Danny Boy, the ducks, the ducks are calling...

[CarmiW]

"My duck is resting." seems closer to the meaning.

[Julie874766]

That's what I was thinking/wondering.

[tsuj1g1r1]

Well, if a gorilla can have a pet cat, why can't an owl have a pet duck?

[tu.8zPhLySD9eGoy]

Why wasn't 'drake' accepted? It's one of the hover-on definitions!

[FjTw16]

Even ducks have a rest, and I don't (

[IceCubeWater]

Is that even legal!?

[A-Lamanite]

"would my duck is taking a nap" work?

[emc752906]

No. "resting" and "taking a nap" are definitely not the same thing.

[IngeborgHa14]

Well, לָקַח תְּנוּמָה could work (תְּנוּמָה is a slumber, a nap), but sounds a lot like a loan translation. Maybe one better says מְנַמְנֵם (to nap, doze is נִמְנֵם).

[Corinnebelle]

Shhh!

[Dawn699669]

I rest my duck after I've cooked it!

[Walter375725]

Jokes aside, but what is wrong (grammatically) with
"my duck has a rest" ?

[Julie874766]

I don't know but it makes "rest" sound like a physical object. It sounds like the duck owns "a rest" whatever that would be.
