"זה לא עובד."

Translation: This does not work.

[Gerardd88]

Now, this d at the end is definitely a real stop! It's such a stop that you can't even hear it :D I was lucky enough to get this sentence in the "Type what you hear" exercise. Does it sound correct to a native?

[AlmogL]

I agree, it's not audible and it should be.

[etieffen]

Yeah. It sounded "זה לא עובר" to me.

[JasonFries2]

So, working like doing a job and working like functioning properly are the same on hebrew?

[Linda118050]

Why can't you say "this is not work." It was marked wrong.

[jarrettph]

Oved is a verb.

[Linda118050]

So how would you say 'this is not work,' instead of 'this does not work'?

[Doda_Omi]

"This is not work" would be said, "זאת לא עבודה". (zot lo avoda) :)

[Linda118050]

Thank you

[Doda_Omi]

You're very welcome.

[StefanBerg524328]

Can you explain why? Are nouns ever with an ה, and how would it work with an masculine noun?

[Doda_Omi]

Yes, nouns can have a ה . :) For instance if I said "The work" it would be "העבודה".

Masculine nouns would be done similarly. "The dog" would be "הכלב." But "This is not a dog" would be "זה לא כלב". Does that help you?

[jarrettph]

That I don't know.

[TeribleT]

It had work as a choice. So when would it be applicable here then?
There's work.
I work.
You will work.
He doesn't work.
It used to work.
I have been at work (not a verb, but the rest?)

[Daiana.215]

Ah! This is similar to עבד (eved- slave). Easy way for me to remember this new verb

[VforBBforV]

Is this the kind of thing a person would say to their partner if they wanted to finish their relationship?
