how to say “winemaker” in Hebrew
יֵינָן
Wine is so basic to human culture that the word for it spans a wide variety of languages. In Italian and Spanish it’s vino, in Russian it’s вино (also vino), in Japanese it’s ワイン (sounds like vine), in Zulu it’s iwayini, and in Hebrew it’s יַיִן .
.And a vintner or winemaker is a יֵינָן.
For example:
כְּשֶׁהוּא הָיָה יֶלֶד, אָמְרוּ לוֹ שֶׁלֹּא כְּדַאי לוֹ לִהְיוֹת יֵינָן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל.
When he was a boy, (they) told him it’s not worthwhile becoming a winemaker in Israel.
