Can you keep a secret? You will not<\/em> believe what I heard. Well, it’s really no secret, but if you did have one, how would you express that? Let’s start with a rumor that has been going around and you want to know if it’s true…<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s true, you are learning Hebrew. So …<\/p>\n

Other ways to talk about rumors and secrets<\/h3>\n

\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b0\u05e2\ufb4b\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd \u05dc\ufb4b\u05d0 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05df \u05de\u05b7\u05d4…<\/span> – You’ll never believe what…

Maybe a rumor is not true?<\/h3>\n

\u05de\u05b7\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05de\u05b5\u05e8!<\/span> – I don’t believe it!

There’s a shorter way to say you don’t believe what is being told to you:
\n\u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b6\u05bc\u05d9\u05da\u05b8<\/span> – You don’t say! \/ I don’t believe it! (to a male)
\n\u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b7\u05bc\u05d9\u05b4\u05da\u05b0<\/span> – You don’t say! \/ I don’t believe it! (to a female)<\/p>\n

But if you still swear it’s true:
\n\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4<\/span> – I swear to you!, on my life!<\/p>\n
