1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks.
English: Stream
Hebrew: נחל (nakhal), though around here one is more likely to come across a ואדי (wadi)
Lincolnshire: Diy-akk [Dyke]
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called.
English: Cart. I know I should call it a trolly, but the first thing that comes to mind is cart, for some odd reason.
Hebrew: עגלה (agala), the full name being עגלת קניות (agalat kniot).
Lincolnshire: Trawlay [Trolley]

Lincolnshire: So-wa-fer [Sofa] or Sayy-tee [Settee]
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof.
English: I can't quite decide if I should say gutters or drains - probably because it isn't a word I use a lot. Maybe shingles, as they're designed to keep the rain sliding on down the roof?
Hebrew: מרזב (marzev). Roof tiles are called רעפים (re'afim).
Lincolnshire: Drey-an [Drain]
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening.
English: Gazebo when appropriate, patio otherwise (I blame this bit of vocabulary on my architect parents).
