how to say “estate” in Hebrew
אֲחֻזָּה
The main street in Raanana is called אֲחֻזָּה (pronounced colloquially ). It means estate, and it comes from the root א.ח.ז (a.kh.z) meaning holding onto something.
Sometimes a mansion is called an אחוזה , as in:
, as in:זֶה לֹא בַּיִת – זֶה אֲחֻזָּה.
That’s not a house – it’s a mansion.
