how to say “cow milk” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

חָלָב פָּרָה

The Hebrew word for milk is חלב
, as in:

אני שותה קפה שחור – בלי חלב.

I drink black coffee – without milk.

The word for cow is פרה
, so that חלב פרה
is cow milk (or חלב בקר

– cattle milk).

For example:

לא כולם מסוגלים לעכל חלב פרה.

Not everyone is able to digest cow’s milk.

Israeli kids grow up on something called שוקולד פרה
– cow chocolate. Watch today’s video to find out what that is.
