how to say “fertile ground” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

The Hebrew word for fruit is פרי
.

For example:

רחלי, אולי תאכלי פרי?

Racheli, maybe eat a fruit?

Fertility – or fruitfulness – is פוריות
. Likewise, fertile ground is קרקע פורייה
, a place for something to grow, either literal or figurative.

For example:

קיצוניות – קרקע פורייה לטרור.

Extremism – fertile ground for terror.

You may have noticed that פורייה is feminine. That’s because קרקע
 is feminine, even though it may not look it (doesn’t have ה-ָ
 at the end).
