how to say “international” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
בֵּינְלְאֻמִּי
To create the word international, English takes the word national and appends to it the prefix, inter-.
Hebrew does the same, where the word לְאֻמִּי 
meaning national gets the word inter/between/among – בֵּין – added to the beginning, yielding בֵּינְלְאֻמִּי.
For example:
לִמְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵשׁ רָמַת יְצוּא בֵּינְלְאֻמִּי מַדְהִימָה בִּתְחוּם הַהַי טֶק.
Israel has an amazing level of international export in the field of high-tech.
And, apropos today’s date on the Israeli calendar:
בִּשְׁאָר העוֹלָם מְצַיְּנים אֶת “יוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּי לַשּׁוֹאָה”, וּבִישְׂרָאֵל מְצַיְּנִים אֶת “יוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן לַשּׁוֹאָה וְלַגְּבוּרָה”.
In the rest of the world, “International Holocaust Remembrance Day” is commemorated, and in Israel, “Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day” is commemorated.
