#318 Save Me a Spot, Will You?

from Streetwise Hebrew

Is it okay to save an open parking spot for someone, shooing away other drivers? Well, that's what many Tel-Avivim do. It's called לשמור חניה, and it happens all the time. On this episode, Guy continues with the root שמר, explaining how to say 'watch your mouth?' in Hebrew and why you should never really say it.
