how to say “frequency” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
Those of you who have studied some Talmud almost certainly know the Hebrew/Aramaic word for frequent – תָּדִיר (tah-DEER). When speaking of frequency, there are couple of words you might use, depending on the context.
To name a radio frequency or some other frequency in the physical sense, you’d use the word תֶּדֶר (TEH-dehr).
And if you want to talk about how often an event takes place, you’d use תְּדִירוּת (teh-dee-ROOT). For example, you might ask, How often (i.e., in what frequency) are the group meetings? – ?בְּאֵיזוֹ תְּדִירוּת הַמִּפְגָשִׁים שֶׁל הַקְּבוּצָה (beh-EH-ee zoh teh-dee-ROOT hah-meef-gah-SHEEM shel hah-keh-voo-TSAH?)
Frequently, however, is a different expression that I’ll introduce next week.
