how to say “billboard” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger July 7, 2022July 7, 2022

If you’ll be in Jerusalem in August, don’t miss חוצות היוצר
– the Artist’s Colony fair, where you’ll find artwork from around the world as well as concerts by some of Israel’s rock stars.

חוצות
isn’t exactly a colony – the word refers to the outdoors in a poetic sense (בחוץ
is outdoors or outside in the everyday sense). And היוצר
means the creator in the artistic sense (not in the exclusively divine sense – that’s הבורא
).

The word for sign is שלט
, so שלט חוצות
is a sign in the outdoors – or a billboard.

For example:

יש שלטי חוצות ענקיים תלויים לאורך נתיבי האיילון.

There are gigantic billboards posted along the Ayalon Highway.
