how to say “goat yogurt” in Hebrew

יוֹגוּרְט עִיזִּים

While the Hebrew word for yogurt is the borrowed-from-another-language יוגורט
, the word for goat – עז
– is authentically Semitic. Its plural is עיזים

, so that goat yogurt is יוגורט עיזים
.

For example:

במקום חלב אני אוכל קורנפלקס עם יוגורט עיזים.

Instead of milk I eat breakfast cereal with goat yogurt.

(mainly for the digestive benefits)

Now, עז refers to a female goat. Watch today’s video for the names of male and kid goats.
