Lehafil mone = Put on the meter
Pronunciation: Lay-ah-feel moh-nay
This helpful little phrase is what you would like to say immediately after entering any Israeli taxi cabs. Luckily, our hosts told us this before we ever needed to take a taxi, because they will rip you off otherwise. However, the driver is required to put on the meter if you asked. This phrase was so helpful! Sometimes, you just can't figure out which bus goes where you want and a taxi is the best option, so saving the money from putting on the meter was great!

This is a great word of the week. I think you should ask each host how to say "put on the meter" in the local language.
