how to say “sunglasses” in Hebrew

 

מִשְׁקְפֵי שֶׁמֶשׁ
 

 

 
The Hebrew word for glasses is מִשְׁקָפַיִם  , of the root שׁ.ק.פ (sh.k.p) having to do with visibility.
 
Sunglasses, likewise, are ׁמִשְׁקְפֵי שֶׁמֶש   – literally, glasses of the sun.
 
For example:
 
מֻמְלָץ לְהָבִיא מִשְׁקְפֵי שֶׁמֶשׁ לְבִקּוּרְכֶם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּחָדְשֵׁי הַקַּיִץ.
It’s recommended to bring sunglasses for your visit to Israel in the summer months.
 
 
Likewise, the more specific term seeing glasses is מִשְׁקְפֵי רְאִיָּה   in Hebrew.
