how to say “tastefully” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
בְּטוּב טַעַם
Get talking… in Hebrew.
For weeks, there’s cement, wood planks and metal shards all over. But over the next few months, the place starts to look like a house, and eventually the interior designer waves her magic wand… and the family enters their new home.
The woman of the house runs from room to room emitting screams of delight, as the man comments, הִיא עִצְּבָה אֶת הַבָּיִת בְּטוּב טַעַם (hee ee-tseh-VAH et hah-BAH-yeet beh-TOOV TAH-ahm) – she designed the house tastefully.
Note that the vowel in the word טוֹב, meaning good or well (tohv), changes from oh to oo in בטוּב טעם. That’s because, in this phrase, טוּב is part of a two-word unit, meaning literally, good of taste.
