how to say “peanut butter” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
חֶמְאַת בָּטְנִים
I recently discovered, thanks to my intern, Craig, that peanut butter is available in Israel. I suppose I should have known that, since the Hebrew term for peanut butter has been in use for decades.
The term is חֶמְאַת בָּטְנִים listen and repeat. The latter word, בָטנים listen and repeat, is one of the cases in which the קָמָץ listen and repeat kamatz vowel ָ is pronounced oh instead of ah in Modern Hebrew.
