In yesterday’s dose we saw that the Hebrew word for beard is זקן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/זקן-צרפתי-#.m4a” /].

The style that in English is named after a barnyard animal – a goatee – in Hebrew is זקן צרפתי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/זקן-צרפתי-#.m4a” /] – literally, a French beard.

For example:

I shaved most of my (the) beard and a goatee was left.
