how to say “echo” in Hebrew
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הד-1.m4a” /]הֵד
Appearing only once in the Bible, the Hebrew word for echo is הד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הד-1.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הד-2.m4a” /]החדר מרווח, אבל אני שומעת הד.
The room is spacious, but I (a female) hear an echo.
הד is probably of the Biblical-Hebrew root ה.ד.ד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הד-3.m4a” /] meaning loud noise, and thus related to the word הידד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הד-4.m4a” /] – hurray!
