ByAmi Steinberger

This phrase is fairly common in Israel – אדם ערכי
, a person of values or a value-based person. It’s similar in meaning to אדם איכותי
– a quality person. More than one אדם ערכי are אנשים ערכיים

For example:

ערכי takes the word ערך
– value – and adds a י
to the end, turning it into an adjective.
