how to say “wonderful” in Hebrew

 

נֶהֱדָר
 

 

 
Like English, Hebrew has lots of words to describe something as great. Some of these are מְצֻיָּן    – excellent, מְעֻלֶּה    – excellent or of great quality, and נֶהֱדָר    – wonderful or glorious.
 
It can also mean beautiful.
 
For example:
 
אַתְּ נִרְאֵת נֶהֱדָר.
You (a female) look fantastic.
 
 
It’s the masculine נהדר and not the feminine נֶהֱדֶרֶת   , as the word is used here to describe how the woman looks, not the woman herself.
 
The root of נהדר is ה.ד.ר (h.d.r) meaning glory.
