how to say “rustic” in Hebrew

It’s summer in the northern hemisphere. People are taking vacation, some traveling far, some near, and some just hanging out at home.

One popular type of destination is rustic – out in the country, perhaps in a cabin by a lake, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Rustic in Hebrew is כַּפְרִי (kahf-REE), deriving from the word כְּפָר (keh-FAHR) meaning rural village – so that כפרי could be said to mean country-esque.

You’ll find the word כפרי used in phrases such as:

נוֹפֶשׁ כַּפְרִי
rustic vacation/holiday
(NOH-fesh kahf-REE)

אֵרוּחַ כַּפְרִי
country hospitality
(eh-ROO-ahkh kahf-REE)

לֶחֶם כַּפְרִי
dark bread, rye bread (literally, rustic/country bread)
(LEH-khem kahf-REE)
