how to say “rights” in Hebrew

זְכֻיּוֹת 
Listen to this word pronounced


Every human being has rights.


זְכֻיּוֹת (zeh-khoo-YOHT) are what you’d call them in Hebrew.


The singular is זְכוּת (zeh-KHOOT), coming from the root ז.כ.ה (z.k.h), meaning merit. Some related words are זַכַּאִי (zah-KAH-ee) – innocent or entitled; and לִזְכּוֹת (leez-KOHT) – to win (a prize or a case).
