I know it's the transliteration, but i dont speak hebrew so i dont know which is the right one, or if they are all correct? or if it doesnt matter one way or another?
Thanks

If you are saying it very slowly and carefully, you'd say "mitga'aga'at". Talking fast (think "wanna" in English), it would be "mitgagat". In normal speech, it would be "mitgaga'at" (the first "a" would be held out slightly longer than the second and third, with a millisecond pause between the last 2). So in a sense, they're all right. See my Hebrew in the original question.
The second word is closest (in English) to "eilecha". The first vowel sounds like a long "a" in English--but without the "y" sound at the end. The second one is a short "e". The first one could be a short "e", but the second one *cannot* be an "ay" sound. (Sfardim are more likely to use two short "e" sounds, Ashkenzaim a long "a" first.)

they're all the same- it really doesnt make a difference. people say it in all three of those ways- depending on who they are and where they're from!
trust me on this- i live in Israel and im fluent in Hebrew!

But as you said, it is translitaration, so all is correct.
