how to say “caveman” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

 

הָאָדָם הַקַּדְמוֹן

 

 
Some of you may recall the 1992 movie Encino Man. It’s about a frozen caveman who is dug up in a suburban backyard and helps two high school seniors become the most popular kids in school. I recently watched the movie again and relived part of my childhood.
 
The Hebrew term for a caveman or prehistoric man is הָאָדָם הַקַּדְמוֹן  listen and repeat, where אדם  listen and repeat means man and קדמון  listen and repeat means ancient.
 
For example:
 
נִמְצָא שֶׁלֶד שֶׁל הָאָדָם הַקַּדְמוֹן בְּרָמַת הַגּוֹלָן.
A skeleton of prehistoric man was found in the Golan Heights.
 
Another term for caveman is a literal translation: אִישׁ מְעָרוֹת  listen and repeat – a man of caves.
