Summary
You'll hear it all the time โ when you're handed a music show ticket, getting the menu, or receiving your shopping bag from the cashier: 'tehenu' means 'enjoy.' Today Guy explains how to use this word and teaches us more words from the same root. Bonus: this root exists also in Arabic, so we can learn some greetings to use with Arabic speakers as well!
