How to Say "Eyes" in Hebrew - How To Say Guide

עיניים

The English phrase "eyes" is translated into Hebrew as עיניים.

How does it change in a sentence?

The word עיניים is a dual noun, which is the standard way in Hebrew to express a pair of organs.

The expression עין הרע, meaning 'the evil eye', is deeply embedded in Jewish culture and folklore. Many people wear a blue 'hamsa' or a blue eye charm to ward off this perceived spiritual danger.
Hebrew uses the word עין to refer to a 'spring' of water because ancient people viewed the water emerging from the ground as the 'eye' of the earth.
If you are looking at someone's 'eyes' in a poetic or biblical context, the Hebrew term might imply more than just sight, often suggesting 'insight' or 'understanding'.
