how to say “sophisticated” in Hebrew
If you know some Hebrew, you surely know the word for wise or smart – חָכָם/חֲכָמָה.
But sophisticated is more than smart. It takes smart to a whole different level. Thus Hebrew takes the root ח.כ.מ (kh.k.m) and adds a ת (t) to the beginning, taking the meaning of words derived to a whole new level.
You might say, הוּא אָדָם מְתֻחְכָּם – he is a sophisticated person. (I’ve omitted transliteration – if you need it, please go here.)
מתוחכם is an adjective derived from the פֻּעַל verb form. You can learn how to use this verb form by visiting our פועל page.
