"I am not going out of the house because there are floods outside."

Translation: אני לא יוצא מהבית כי יש הצפות בחוץ.

'כי' & 'בגלל' have the same meaning

[AmirLFC]

That's right, but בגלל has to come with ש.

[AlmogL]

True, but only when followed by a sentence.

אני לא יוצא מהבית כי יש הצפות בחוץ.

אני לא יוצא מהבית בגלל שיש הצפות בחוץ.

אני לא יוצא מהבית בגלל ההצפות בחוץ.

[DL-Trolls]

It is still a controversy whether ש after בגלל is proper form. My understanding is that, classically, it is bad form, but these days so many people talk like this that the structure is becoming socially acceptable.

[chocolatandante]

I used בגלל שיש, and it was not accepted.

[Theresa754142]

Ani lo yotse me-ha-bayit ki yesh hatsafot bakhuts.

[Spring23Flower]

כתבתי כך: אני לא יוצא מהבית בגלל שיש הצפות בחוץ
ובכל זאת המערכת פסלה לי את התשובה

[Pumbush]

עדיף שתעשה ריפורט על דברים כאלה במקום לכתוב תגובה. יותר סיכוי שיטפלו בהם.

[MrsT637020]

What about using מתוך?

[LSadun]

Why is הצפות plural? Wouldn't there be just one flood outside?

[DL-Trolls]

It might be currents of water like multiple streams on a property during a storm.

[japhno1]

Why מהבית (with explicit article ה)?

I thought that מ (meaning "from") and ה (the article) usually merge to ...מ.

Why not this time?

[Carole838966]

Why doesn’t מ and ה become מ here

[Theresa754142]

Only ב כ ל merge with the definite article ה and take its ah sound.

The rule about how to pronounce “from”: “From” is usually mi but before gutturals א ה ח ע ר it may change to “meh” but even there if you say mi, you won’t sound strange to most Hebrew speakers. (YardenNB)
