"את שוברת את הצלחת?"

Translation: Are you breaking the plate?

[NaftaliFri1]

מזל טוב!

Traditionally, when a couple become engaged the mothers break a plate.

[2finalbriancells]

oh. I thought it would be strange asking whether you are breaking a plate since the answer would naturally be no.

[Carlahna1]

No daddy, I was just... Looking at it.

[zion11dotcom]

and it was like that when i got here

[mershadya]

So fast!

[Mathman2pi]

Can't it be "Did you break the plate?", which would seem much more viable to say in normal language. It's not like usually there's a plate breaker, whose role is to do so (unless it is the mother after an engagement as NaftaliFri1 stated).

[TimonMarek]

שברת את הצלחת?

[RachelRose590703]

I agree, I had the same answer and it was marked as wrong.

[danny912421]

Well, it was marked as wrong, because it is wrong. This is not Past tense, but Present tense. You can't translate this as "did you break the plate", because that is not what the sentence says.

[TroyCMoore]

Natural speech in any language allows for connected speech and even encourages it. For example, but /I need it/ becomes /I nee dit/ in English.
BUT does this Hebrew speaker need to do connected speech AND talk so fast??

[James376184]

Sudden animation in the speaker's voice... :P

[SpinergySy]

Okay I fell for it and made the mistake of "is the plate broken?"

[FyodorS.]

I was not able to distinguish the sounds in the beginning. Is it an actual Hebrew speech?

[danny912421]

What do you mean "actual Hebrew speech"? Is it real Hebrew? Well, yes. What else would it be?

[FyodorS.]

I mean this rate of speaking, dear.

[danny912421]

The speed? Oh, yes. Pretty normal. Israelis are known for speaking fast.
