"Is this okay?"

"Yeah."

"skibidi toilet has so much rizz, like, it's like a rizzler,

like, he's such a sigma."

no, I can't say that, can I?

Can I say this video is rizz?

[No].

No.

Hi everyone, it's Hadar.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

I have a guest with me, his name is Assaf.

And Assaf and I will talk about Gen Alpha slang.

So as a mother to two tween girls, I often come across this slang, so

I decided to bring a friend of mine.

His name is Assaf.

Say hi, Assaf.

"Hi."

And he will help us understand a little bit more about Gen Alpha slang.

Now, would you recommend people like me, who are obviously not Gen

Alpha, to use this slang regularly?

"No."

No.

Why not?

"Because you won't use it properly."

We won't use it properly, even after watching this video?

"Maybe."

You mean that if we use the slang, we're going to be very, um...

Ohio.

If you don't know what Ohio means, stay tuned because we

are going to talk about it.

If you're new to my channel, my name is Hadar.

I'm a non native speaker of English, and I'm here, with Assaf, to help you

speak English confidently and clearly, even if it's in – "Gen Alpha" – exactly.

Assaf, how many languages do you speak?

Um, four.

Four?

Five.

Oh my God.

Tell me.

Wait, no...

Ten?

Ten? No.

English, Spanish, Hebrew.

[Yes] Catalan.

[Catalan] And maybe French.

And maybe French?

Oh, and you know what you forgot?

Gen Alpha.

Yeah.

What language do you feel most comfortable in?

Hebrew or English.

Or English.

And what language do you think in?

English. English.

So cool.

Inside the brain of a multilingual child.

All right. So let's get started?

Yeah.

Okay, good.

So the first word that we are going to talk about is rizz.

What is rizz?

rizz is like, uh, you have charisma.

Charisma.

So it means like someone who is a charmer?

Yeah.

Yeah.

How do you call someone who has rizz?

A rizzler.

A rizzler!

Are you a rizzler, Assaf?

I don't know.

You're a rizzler.

You have rizz.

What is gyat?

A butt.

A butt.

I would ask you to put it in a sentence, but maybe we can skip to the next one.

Okay. So gyat is a butt.

Okay, good.

This is really interesting 'cause my daughters do that all the time.

What is mewing?

It's like improving your jawline.

Improving your jawline.

Yeah.

And why in the world an eight-year-old person needs to improve their jawline?

For photos.

For photos?

Okay, good.

To look good?

Yeah.

Okay.

And how do you do that?

Put your tongue on top of your gum, and then with...

here...

[the teeth] the teeth, you...

[clench your teeth].

Oh, I see this.

Got it.

What is Ohio?

It's like an insult.

It's an insult?

So if I say, "Oh, you're such...

you're...

how do you say it?

You're so Ohio?

You're such an Ohio?

So that means that you're what, like, ugh, like cringe?

Yeah.

Like the opposite of rizz?

Yeah.

So, like, you are rizz and I'm Ohio?

What else is an insult?

How about 'mid'?

Mid, yeah.

Yeah?

Mid.

Because if someone says, "Oh, you're so mid", that's not good.

So mid is like average, like middle, like somewhere in the middle.

But, um, it's an insult.

Kids, like, use it more as like really bad.

Really bad.

Because nowadays, average is bad, probably, right?

[Yeah].

So, we don't want to be mid.

We want to be rizz.

[Yeah].

skibidi toilet.

But when I say 'skibidi toilet', I'm just Ohio.

Okay, what else?

Aura.

Aura?

What's 'aura'?

It's like 'cool'.

[Cool?] Like, if you're cool, you're just cool.

And then you get like 10000 aura points.

[Okay].

You just get aura points.

Aura points?

I like aura points.

Can I get some aura points?

Okay.

Oh, I know one more.

Speaking of aura and cool and rizz – sigma.

What's sigma?

It's like you have aura.

Oh, you have aura.

Okay, got it.

So Sigma is like...

like a cool person?

[Yeah].

So I'm sigma?

Yeah.

He had no choice.

He had no choice.

Is there anything else you think people should know about you,

about Gen Alpha, about your slang?

I don't think so.

Okay, good.

Does that mean that we are done with the video?

Yeah.

Okay.

What was your first video?

If you see it now, you're going to laugh at me.

It was when I taught how to say 'world'.

I said, "how to pronounce world".

"World.

World".

This is how I spoke.

I'll show you later.

What do you think about making mistakes in a second language, in a language

that is not your native language?

How do you feel about it?

Embarrassing.

Embarrassing.

But do you think it's like, it's a bad thing?

It's Ohio or is it...

how do you deal with it?

You just say that it's not your native language or something.

So when you make a mistake in, let's say what, Catalan, then do you feel bad?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Okay.

But you know that because you speak so many languages,

it's okay to make mistakes.

You know that?

You know that making mistakes is a big part of speaking a second language?

The fact that you make mistakes means that you know another language.

You know that?

Yeah.

Good.

And knowing many languages is a powerful thing.

It's really rizz.

You know that?

Yes.

It's ri... It's Sigma.

Am I using it wrong?

Yeah.

You can't say rizz.

I can't say rizz.

Okay.

It's great.

It's just awesome.

It's fantastic.

Assaf, thank you so, so much.

It was great having you here.
