how to say “accounting” in Hebrew
ראיית חשבון
After finishing working tonight I walked up the hill from the German Colony to Katamon (both Jerusalem neighborhoods) for the evening prayer… and to get some air. On the way back I walked with a good friend of mine, דּוֹרוֹן (Doron), who is an accountant. We had a good conversation… and I got material for the daily dose of Hebrew (as well as tomorrow’s).
The Hebrew term for accountant is רוֹאֶה חֶשְׁבּוֹן (roh-EH khesh-BOHN) – literally, one who sees account(s) (רואָה חשבון – roh-AH – for a female).
The term for the discipline of accounting is רְאִיַּת חֶשְׁבּוֹן (reh-ee-YAHT khesh-BOHN).
If the underlined link bothers you, just visit the site to see the dose of Hebrew without the underline.
