how to say “exchange rate” in Hebrew
שַׁעַר חֲלִיפִין, שַׁעַר יַצִּיג
The Hebrew root ח.ל.פ (kh.l.p) means changing over, so that חליפין describes the exchange of quantities of goods or monies. With שַׁעַר meaning gate or that which things come and go through, שער חליפין is one of the official Hebrew terms for exchange rate. The other is שער יַצִּיג – literally representative rate, as the exchange rate is representative for a particular day.
