how to say “rainforest” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
יַעַר גֶּשֶׁם
A rainforest is a place of astounding beauty and biodiversity. Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world’s oxygen, according to Wikipedia.
The Hebrew term for rainforest is a literal translation of the English – יַעַר גֶּשֶׁם
, where יער means forest and גשם means rain.
An example in context:
לִפְעָמִים קוֹרְאִים לְיַעֲרוֹת הַגֶּשֵׁם “הָרֵאוֹת שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם.”
The rainforests are sometimes called “the lungs of the earth.”
