how to say “fruit” in Hebrew
פְּרִי
The Hebrew word for fruit very closely resembles the English word, though the Online Etymological Dictionary doesn’t see the connection.
The Hebrew word is פְּרִי
, and like in English, is used both literally:תַּפּוּחַ הוּא פְּרִי.
An apple is a fruit.
and figuratively:
נִרְאֶה אִם הַמַּאֲמָצִים שֶׁלָּנוּ יָנִיבוּ פְּרִי.
We’ll see if our efforts will bear fruit.
The plural form is פֵּרוֹת , as in:
, as in:הִיא הֵכִינָה סָלַט פֵּרוֹת.
She made fruit salad.
