how do you say “transparent” in Hebrew?
שקוף
Today I was on the phone when all of a sudden a quite powerful gust of wind came and slammed my office/bedroom door shut and shattering all the glass, yielding this:
The spots on the door are not stains; rather, they are specs of dust on my phone camera’s lens, which I have not yet been successful in removing.
So now, my office/bedroom door is transparent or see-through. There goes my privacy.
The upshot is I’ve got a word for you all: שָׁקוּף (shah-KOOF) – transparent. (masculine)
הַדֶּלֶת שְׁקוּפָה (hah-DEH-let shkoo-FAH) – the door is transparent. (here transparent is feminine, since it refers to the door, a feminine object in Hebrew)
And transparency, as in, “Facebook has a policy of transparency”? שְׁקִיפוּת (shkee-FOOT).
