When you combine to succeed and to decide, you get a very common phrase: אני לא מצליח להחליט — literally, I am not succeeding in deciding, or I can’t make up my mind.
With the news changing frequently, many Israelis feel this way — should I book a flight? Should I buy more supplies? It’s that feeling of being caught between two choices while waiting for clarity.
In context:
אני לא מצליחה להחליט אם כדאי לצאת לחופשה עכשיו.
I can’t make up my mind (f) if it’s a good idea to go on vacation now.
The expression אני לא מצליח להחליט — I can’t make up my mind is a Level 4 expression in the Ulpan La-Inyan system.
