Hebrew to English translations [Non-PRO]
/ general, kids

Hebrew term or phrase: shalosh arba ve-

kids at play, basically.

Orly Har-Zion

English translation:Ready, set, go!

Explanation:
The literal translation is (as proposed by others here) 'three, four, and!' however, this does not impart the correct meaning. This is how kids count down to something such as starting a foot race, etc.
