The word for glasses – משקפיים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/השקפת-עולם-#.m4a” /] – comes from the root ש.ק.פ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/השקפת-עולם-#.m4a” /], one of the roots that mean vision.

In the הפעיל verb form, להשקיף[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/השקפת-עולם-#.m4a” /] means to look out on. Likewise, השקפה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/השקפת-עולם-#.m4a” /] means outlook, with השקפת עולם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/השקפת-עולם-#.m4a” /] meaning worldview.

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/השקפת-עולם-#.m4a” /]הם מסתדרים ביחד למרות השקפות עולם שונות.

They get along despite different worldviews.
