how to say “character trait” or “product feature” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
I think it’s reasonable to assume that nearly everyone on the planet – if not everyone – has admirable as well as less-than-admirable character traits.
 
The word תְּכוּנָה (te-khoo-NAH) can refer to such traits, as well as non-human traits or features. For example, לַגִּרְסָה הַחֲדָשָׁה שֶׁל “חֲלוֹנוֹת” יֵשׁ תְּכוּנוֹת חֲדָשׁוֹת (la-gheer-SAH hah-khah-dah-SHAH shel “khah-loh-NOHT” yesh te-khoo-NOHT khah-dah-SHOHT) – The new version of Windows has new features.
