[etni] Re: Fw: grammar question

"he died" should be translated "hu niftar" which (excuse the morbidness) implies the action of dying. Ask the kids to explain the difference between "met" and "niftar"... that's how I usually get out of it.

Can anyone explain how to explain to a Hebrew speaker the difference between "He is dead" and "He died". The Hebe translation is the same. הוא מת 

Thanks
