"You are welcome, good night."

Translation: אין בעד מה, לילה טוב.

[JacobPanko]

Could this not also be בבקשה,לילה טוב

[Spirit300]

Yes

[Pumbush]

I think you're right

[jdeclerck]

I don't understand, בבקשה has always translated as please.

[NRPL123]

In one of the other discussions it was explained that it can be used for either one. Looking them both up in this dictionary http://www.morfix.co.il/en/ it sounds like בבקשה can mean "certainly!" and אין בעד מה is like "Don't mention it" or "It was nothing" so you can see how either could be used for "you're welcome" :)

[JoshuaFrie919483]

It's a word with two different meanings

[dufay58786]

The audio does not work

[ZRf83]

אין
Means there is not.
What is בעד?
Is ברוח אתא welcome?

[Ember_7727]

Why isn't it...
בבקשה, לילה טובה?

[danny912421]

Because לילה is masculine, so it's לילה טוב.

[Ember_7727]

תודה

this must be a "saying" in Israel, as word for word, this makes no sense, especially if you are trying to say you are welcome! My class before and now my translator tell me that "you are welcome" is "בבקשה". I need some explanation for understanding of your answer.

What does this directly trabslate to?

[TitiLaCarotte]

It is the french equivalent of : "il n'y a pas de quoi", there is nothing to thank me for. literally: There is not of What... Another way to say: you are welcome...

[EmadelDin5]

How to pronounce בעד?

[NRPL123]

You can copy and paste here, for a recording of the pronunciation.

It sounds like beh-odd to me.

[KingYeshua]

What? I got an error, and it say that the write sentence is: אין בעד מה לילה טוב .. it is right?

[sarah0598]

I HAVE HEARD OF THIS FORM BUT IT SHOULD BE THE POSH LANGUAGE. IN USUAL CASE YOU SAY בבקשה,לילה טוב OR בכיף לילה טוב EVEN IF THAT MEANS WITH PLEASURE

[lebensfrei.]

please stop screaming, our baby is crying!

[TRIGGERED20]

אין בעד מה לילה טוב

[jack920385]

I put אחה and it comes up אין why it's so confusing

[danny912421]

Jack, I've already answered your question in three different threads! Please, read my replies and the other comments in the thread because you can always get some additional understanding from reading those.

"you are welcome" in English is a phrase, which is why it is not translated literally. That is why you don't use אתה (not אחה) here, but you use אין בעד מה, which literally translates to "there is nothing (to thank) for".

[Sun.of.GOD]

How does "אין בעד מה" translate to you are welcome? (etymologically speaking)

How do I type this in Hebrew on my PC? I did download the languages but, I do not see how to pull up a keyboard with the characters for Hebrew on it. Duolingo will not let me go past the question without typing in a correct answer. It just marks it incorrect and continues on to the same question. I will never have the correct answer without a Hebrew keyboard to type it in.

[danny912421]

I switch between languages by pressing ALT + SHIFT. You can try that or do a Google search for your specific PC, since not every computer works the same.
