How to say “value” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
ערך

The Hebrew word for value, as in “Ulpan La-Inyan courses are an excellent value”, is עֶרֶך (EH-rekh). 
 
To express that you respect a person – that you evaluate this person positively – you’d use the word לְהַעֲרִיך (le-hah-ah-REEKH). For example, you might say מְנַחֵם בֶּגִין הָיָה קָל לְהַעֲרִיך (meh-NAH-khem BEH-gheen hah-yah kahl le-hah-ah-REEKH) – Menachem Begin was easy to respect.


Don’t confuse להעריך with להאריך (with an alef), which means to lengthen.


Listen and repeat…
