Description:

"Let's stay in touch," "Something has to change," "It's not you, it's me" – all languages have these disingenuous, non-committal and empty phrases. So how do we say them in Hebrew?

Words and expressions discussed:

Ata achshav kvar lo muchan lehitchayev – אַתָּה עַכְשָיו כְּבָר לֹא מוּכָן לְהִתְחַיֵיב

Chayav – חַיָּיב

Mashehu chayav le-hishtanot – מָשֶהוּ חַיָּיב לְהִשְתַנוֹת

Ani chayav lalechet – חַיָּיב לָלֶכֶת אֲנִי

Kama ani chayav/ chayevet lecha? – כמה אֲנִי חַיָּיב / חַיֶּיבֶת לְךָ?
