alyse barantine
Hebrew translation:shuk peirot
Explanation:
This is an exact translation. However. most people who go shopping in the fruit(and vegetable) market don't usually refer to the "fruit market." They usually just say they're going to the shuk. "Shuk" is sufficient to indicate the traditional type of open-air market
where fruits and vegetables (and other kinds of items and merchandise) are sold. The corresponding Arabic term is "souk" and conveys the same meaning and basic connotations. N.B. "Shuk" also refers to "market" in the general sense, e.g., "Shuk ha-hon," "capital[financial] market."

Shouk Peirot


Explanation:
Shouk Peirot is the exact translation. However, in Israel,all the fruit markets are part of a vegetable market and you do not hear people saying that they go to the fruit market (Shouk Peirot) but to the vegetable market (Shouk Yerakot)
