Avirah-” it’s not intelligible to an israeli. “The chiyuv is chal on the cheftza” – try saying that to a frei guy in Israel and see if he has any idea what you’re talking about.”

Other than the the fact that most words in that sentence are in English, an Israeli will definitely be able to understand since they can break up the word such as cheftza( which really is the only word thats complicated here) and understand. In any case a native Hebrew speaker without any Torah knowledge would understand that sentence 100% more than a non Hebrew speaker(American etc.) Especially if that sentence was all in Hebrew and not mostly in English.
