how to say “opinion” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
דֵּעָה
The Hebrew word for opinion comes from the root for knowledge – ד.ע.ה (d.a.h). The word is דֵּעָה.
For example:
הִיא בֶּן אָדָם מַשְׂכִּיל, וְיֵשׁ לָהּ דֵּעָה בָּעִנְיָן.
She is an educated person, and she has an opinion on the matter.
When connected to another noun or when there is a pronoun ending to the word, which is usually the case, the ה (h) at the end of דעה becomes a ת (t). For example:
דַּעֲתוֹ מְגֻבֶּשֶׁת הֵיטֵב.
His opinion is well-formed.
לְשַׁנּוֹת אֶת דַּעֲתִי…
To change my mind (opinion)…
