Line 27:

** ''haya racon iti'' 'I'd like'

** אפשר איתי ''efšar iti'' 'I can' (''efșăr lum'')

** You might hear ''yeš li [LANGUAGE]'' for 'I speak [LANGUAGE]':

*** ''Šalom, ha-yeš lăxa Azalis?'' 'Hello, do you speak English?

*** ''Yeš.'' 'I do.'

* Question particles (''ha2im'', ''ha-'' in more formal contexts) are usually retained. Questions don't have a different intonation from declarative sentences; they both have falling intonation. Question marks are not usually used.

* It also prefers some coincidentally Gaelic-sounding words, e.g. אַךְ ''ach'' 'but' and שָׂשׂ ''sas'' 'happy' (sounding like Judeo-Gaelic ''ach'' 'but' and ''sostă'' 'satisfied') instead of the synonyms אֲבָל ''aval'' and שָׂמֵחַ ''sameax''. כה ''ko'' is as common as כל כך ''kul káx'' for 'so (ADJ)'.

* Tenses are similar to our Modern Hebrew tenses but the ''haya okhel'' construction is more cpmmon.

** היה הוא אוכל = Past imperfective/progressive/conditional (corresponds to V'e ăg ~~îth~~)

** היה הוא אוכל = Past imperfective/progressive/conditional (corresponds to V'e ăg ith)

** הוא אוכל = Present

** הוא אכל = Past perfective
