how to say “a circle” in Hebrew
There’s a circle, meaning the shape – עִגּוּל (ee-GOOL).
But what I’m referring to is the type of circle people might sit around and tell stories, such as in this little cartoon:
This is called, in Hebrew, a מַעֲגָל (mah-ah-GAHL).
Likewise, a traffic circle is called a מעגל תְּנוּעָה (mah-ah-GAHL te-noo-AH). It’s also known as a כִּכָּר (kee-KAHR).
