How do you say these 5 words in Hebrew?
Did you ask your lawyer for a copy of your mother-in-law’s ‘neck’ rather than a copy of her ‘will‘? Have you asked your pharmacist to recommend something for your kafkafim (sandals) instead of your kaskasim (dandruff)?
Here are a few more Hebrew words we often confuse and are worth learning:
| Hebrew | Transliteration | English Meaning |
| צבע | Tzavah | He painted |
| צבא | Tzava | Army |
| צואר/צוואר | Tzavar | The neck |
| צואה | Tzava | Last will and testament |
| צבה | Tzaveh | Swollen or distended |
