General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: love of a friend | | I think the transliterated phrase I want in Hebrew should be something like "Ahavas Chaverus" but I want to make sure I have the right gender endings. I am trying to thank my male friend for his concern for me. I am male and the entire sentence is "I accept your feelings of concern, empathy & Ahavas Chaverus" |
| | | אהבת חבר / אהבת רעים / אחוות רעים | Explanation:
Ahavas Chaverus is not proper Hebrew.
My suggestions would transliterate to:
אהבת חבר = Ahavat Chaver = love of a [male] friend.
אהבת רעים = Ahavat Re'im (Re'im is p. of friend) = love of friends.
אחוות רעים = Achvat Re'im (Achva = brotherly love, friendship, brotherhood, brotherliness, fellowship).

As Ron suggested, רעות could also work, but אחוות רעים connotes (to me) a deeper appreciation or bonding, if you will, whilst רעות is a very lyrical and beautiful word for friendship. |
