A double session. The vocabulary of a civil-status form, four columns of everyday nouns, then the café dialogue and לִרְצוֹת in the present. Three people introduce themselves and you fill in their form. Ends with בָּא לִי, the way people actually say it in the street.
The five answers to the question. All agree like adjectives.

Most of these are construct pairs: two nouns welded together, no word for "of".
