Israeli actress Gal Gadot is teaching her fans Hebrew slang.
In a new video posted on Oct. 13, the “Wonder Woman” actress shares phrases with Vanity Fair magazine’s recurring “Slang School” segment. Among the phrases she offers up are “Ma ani, ez?” (What am I, a goat?) — which she said is “basically, ‘What am I, a dummy?’ meaning “I’m not stupid,” and “Pa’am shlishit glida” (third time, ice cream). This, she explains, “basically means, third time’s a charm.”
Gadot also explains the phrase “para para” (cow cow.) Confused? Gadot says it’s synonymous with a common English phrase: “When you go and you do something ‘para para,’ you do it slowly but surely, one step at a time.”
Gadot is featured on the November cover of Vanity Fair promoting “Wonder Woman 1984,” which is scheduled for a December release. The actress, who also is slated to play Cleopatra in a new project with “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins at the helm, also is plugging “Death on the Nile,” in which she plays another Egyptian character. “Death on the Nile” will be released Dec. 18.
