אֵין מִיתָה לְמֶחֱצָה

ביטוי (אנגלית)

There is no half-death

הגדרה (אנגלית)

It is impossible to be half dead and half alive. Figuratively: something is illogical; it must be one way or the other, like the expression 'there is no half-pregnancy'.

("Just as there, there is no half-death, so here there is no half-flogging" - Makkot 5a)
