כחול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/תכלת-#.m4a” /] is the common word for blue, but Israelis often use תכלת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/תכלת-#.m4a” /] to refer to particularly graceful things like the sea and the sky. תכלת is azure – basically sky blue.

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/תכלת-#.m4a” /]יש לה עיניים יפות, בצבע תכלת.

She has beautiful eyes, of the color sky blue.

A synonym for תכלת is תכול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/תכלת-#.m4a” /].

Watch today’s video for examples using תכלת.
