A common transliteration is:
mesibat hahakhlafot me'odedet shimush chozer
A few pronunciation notes:
- ח in החלפות and חוזר is a throaty sound, not a regular English h.
- ע in מעודדת is often very weak in modern Israeli Hebrew, so learners may hear me-odedet.
- Hebrew is usually stressed near the end of the word, so listening to native audio is especially helpful here.
Because מסיבת is the construct form of מסיבה.
Hebrew often links two nouns in a structure called סמיכות, roughly like X of Y. In that structure, the first noun may change form.
So:
- מסיבה = a party
- מסיבת = party of ...
Then:
- מסיבת ההחלפות = the swap party / the exchange party
A very common pattern is:
- feminine noun ending in ־ה
- changes to ־ת in construct
For example:
- מתנה → מתנת
- שנה → שנת
- מסיבה → מסיבת
