Oversettelse - Hebraisk-Engelsk - קדימה, תחזיק את הראש שלך גבוה ...

Hey David,
קדימה
in this context means s/th like:
"come on"

i think the transelation would be more accurate this way: "go on, keep your head up high"

Yeah, "go on" would be even better

I agree with "go on", otherwise I think it's okay.

Actually Kadema is forward, and we use it as a command in the IDF. Lhitkadem is go on, so you see, I have to agree to disagree.

Your's right David, only the IDF doesn't speak English... and Hebrew words can have several meanings in English.
קדימה can mean "forward" if you use it in army context and can mean "go on,", "come on", etc. in other cases.
Saying that, you can use "forward" if you insist. It's not wrong of course.

Well, since I spent many many years in the IDF and it is used together with hold you head high, it is only natural to use that context.

Well, I see you have to discus it a little bit, haha. I can't say what's better, but I think that Come on sounds better. I don't know if that's the right translation, but it sounds better if you say it.

Come on, hold your head high.

Love,
Nicole

sorry. if they wanted to use that they would have said something else...like bohena.

Hello Dramati,

If I'm not wrong, I've send it like; COME ON, hold your head high.

I don't understand..

Love,

not accurate English translation. A lot of culture goes into the Hebrew. I guess in order to feel it you have to experience it...like when you are telling your troops to go forward and hold their head high...hard for someone who hasn't been there to know what it means. We also say Kedema (forward) after me...which is the credo of our officer corps...we lead and hold our head high against all the odds. Just an Israeli thing I guess.

Hello Dramati,

Okay ! Thank you for the explenation.

Love,
Nicole
