1 Minute Hebrew — מעלית

Hebrew: מעלית

Transliteration: ma’alit

Meaning: elevator

Example sentence:

יש מעלית בבניין הזה?

Yesh ma’alit ba-binyan hazeh?

Is there an elevator in this building?

Note: A very practical word — many older apartment buildings in Israel don’t have one, so you might use this a lot when asking about floors.

Keep it up — practice Hebrew a little every day and you’ll notice big progress!
