Overheard in my Israeli dance class

[tangofiction]

The teacher's young daughter is collecting ticket money at the front door. The lady in front of me, in a friendly voice to the little girl: "Ma nishma?"



The girl, with the embarrassed smile of second-generation migrant children everywhere: "I'm good, thank you."



Yep. We all talk that way.

Oh! In English... Super! However I don't understand all your words...

"Ma nishma?" What's that???

"Ma nishma?" = "How are you?" in Hebrew. (That's why the girl replied that she was fine.)
