When you want to say “about” in the sense of a topic (like “we talked about the movie”), you can use על (on). But if you want to sound a bit more specific or professional, like “regarding” or “as for,” you use לגבי.
לגבי comes from the word גב (back). It’s like saying “on the back of” a subject. While על is very day-to-day, לגבי is great for business or when you want to be very clear about what you’re discussing.
In context:
לגבי הדירה שפרסמת… היא מרוהטת?
Regarding the apartment you posted… is it furnished?
