Food & Dairy | | English term or phrase: mussels | | what to know how to say mussels in hebrew. |
| | | צדפה שחורה | Explanation:
Pronounced tsidpah shkhora. Tsidpa is clam or oyster, shkhora is black. Lacking a name in Hebrew, Zilberman translates it as a black clam in his dictionary. Obviously, restaurants can use the French word in transliteration if they wish, but I doubt that it'll catch on. I imaginae that one day the Academy will invent a word for it and ten or twenty years later it'll be the only name. |

Explanation:
This is the term used in Hebrew - it's actually the French word for mussel, which is moule, with the standard Hebrew masculine plural suffix, eem, and the stress is on the first syllable.
