Five Handy Expressions


Hi Everyone,

Using expressions and idioms makes our language sound reacher and more native-like.
I've picked five expressions that have the word 'hand' or 'hands' in them. 

Check it out:

1.
To bite the hand that feeds you
To be hostile to someone who has been kind to you.
להיות כפוי טובה, "לכרות את הענף שיושבים עליו"
2.
To gain the upper hand


to obtain control
להשיג עליונות (ידו על העליונה)
3.
To get your hands dirty
1.    To do something important that may not be pleasant
2.    To get involved with something illegal
1. ללכלך את הידיים בעבודה קשה
2. להיות מעורב בפעילות לא חוקית
4.
When things get out of hand
is when things don’t work out and get out of control
דברים יוצאים מכלל שליטה
5.

To be hands-on

To be directly involved in an activity or project.
להיות מעורב בצורה ישירה ומעשית

Now let's get our hands on it, shall we?




1.      My supervisor is really _____________; she gets deeply involved with every project and monitors it very closely.
2.      Fire fighters from more than six states finally    _______________   on the forest fire.
3.      Things got a little   ______________      at the meeting when the marketing manager lost her temper and started throwing accusations.
