Keilu- כְּאִלּוּ
Pronunciation: Ke-ilu
Literal translation: as if, as though
You know how like a lot of English speakers like add like to every like other word?
Ke-ilu is the Hebrew version of the word “like”. It is a helpful word to string sentences together and will make you sound more Israeli.
Ke-ilu can also be used as a way to say “I mean”, so you wouldn’t be wrong to start an explanation with this word.
