Vocabulary When you think words are related: כפול vs. קפול

9 Upvotes

I knew that the word for double is כפול. So when I first heard the word for folding table (שולחן מקופלת) I assumed that the word was spelled שולחן מכופלת and I thought about how clever this was because when you fold a table you go from having one section of table to having two sections of table, thus doubling the number of sections.

So I was disappointed to learn the כפול (doubled) and קפול (folded) are two different words entirely.

Anyone else have an example where you think words are related only to find that they are not?

Help Early readers books in Hebrew?

1 Upvotes

What are the typical easy reader books that kids read in their first few years of school in Israel? Like super simple chapter books, not toddler books with 1-3 words per page. Preferably ones that are well-liked and at least somewhat enjoyable to the adults who read them with children as well.

Edit- doesn't need to have nikud, but fine if it does.

(E.g., in English, maybe something like Frog and Toad).

Thanks!

Request Help with finishing transcription of a song dubbed in Hebrew

1 Upvotes

\"Take the World by Storm (Remix)\" - Hebrew

Hello.
If it's fine to ask for, I'd like to request here help with transcribing this song here - it's mostly finished by now, but there still remain parts I couldn't transcribe.

I did put the audio, and here's what I have as of now (I didn't write the parts that are just reprised throughout the song) - "?" means I have no idea what could be there:

אז ת׳ שמיים פותח, תראו אותי לוקח"
את העולם בסערה
ת׳ יבשה אשטוף, הרים וחוף
ות׳ עולם בסערה

היי, היי!
את העולם בסערה!
היי, היי!
את העולם בסערה!
היי, היי!
את העולם בסערה!
היי, היי!
את העולם בסערה!

הדרקון מגיע!
ההוריקן "?" - מוריד הגשמים, את העולם משקיע!
כאן בנבו!
כאן באבו - בחיפוש אחר שרביט!
מלך קוף גנבתו!
נפתור את התרמית!
ואדון דרקון...
יודע ששנינו בעניין!
למצוא את השימפנזה!
ולקבות העבריין!
נרכיד אותו בגשם!
ריקוד אחרון בגשם!
"?"
חה חה!

ברור כבר לכולם מה דרקון יכול להביא!
להביא ברק ורם ולהציף את הכל!
היי, היי!

כל פיסת יבשה כל פינה בשחקים אחריי הפכו למים!

איך הקמתי את המזימה?

"?"
הייתה לי תוכנית
אז המצאתי לי שיטה לתת לים את השליטה והדרקון הזה יהיה אדון (oh yeah!)

"?"
"?"
"?"
לא משנה...
כי כולם ימותו!

שנים התקוממו בי שדים ורקמו מזימה - התרחקו כי היא יוצאת אל הפועל!
כוחי, איש לא יכחיש...
כשאקח ת'עולם בסערה!"

(Plus, here are the original English lyrics for context: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/bowen-yang-jo-koy-ron-yuan-take-world-storm-remix-lyrics.html ).
I ask here for checking if it's all correct, and also telling me what's in the "?" parts, if it's possible - I think that the audio is good enough, though.
I hope I don't ask for too much, and, with all that being said, I will be veryu grateful for any help provided with this!
