how to say “suggestion” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
To suggest is לְהַצִּיע (le-hah-TSEE-ah). 
 
A suggestion is a הַצָּעָה (hah-tsah-AH). 

For example, אֲנִי פָּתוּחַ לְהַצָּעוֹת לְתָכְנִית הָרַדִיוֹ שֶׁלִּי (ah-NEE pah-TOO-ahkh le-hah-tsah-OHT le-tohkh-NEET hah-RAH-dee-yoh sheh-LEE) – I’m open to suggestions for my radio program.
 
Yes, if you’ve got a piece of Israeli music that you always wished you understood – the words, the culture, the deeper meaning… send me a request to ami@ulpan.com and I just might play it with explanation on my RustyMike radio show – Wednesday at noon Israel time.
