How do you pronounce it?
hey siri
Did you know?
- While היי is used for 'hey' in this phrase, Hebrew speakers typically use שלום or היי to greet friends, but the word היי is actually a loanword from English.
- Because Hebrew does not use capital letters, the phrase היי סירי looks uniform in height, unlike the English 'Hey Siri' which uses capitalization to denote a proper noun.
- Hebrew is written from right to left, so while you say היי סירי in the same order as English, you read it from right to left on the screen.
