Etymology[edit]
From English telephone and cognates in other languages.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Modern Israeli Hebrew) IPA(key): /ˈtelefon/
Noun[edit]
טֵלֵפוֹן • (télefon) m (plural indefinite טֵלֵפוֹנִים, singular construct טֵלֵפוֹן־, plural construct טֵלֵפוֹנֵי־)
- A phone, telephone.
- שיחת טלפון (sikhát-télefon): a phone call.

Usage notes[edit]
- (all senses): There is some disagreement about the appropriate niqqud (diacritics) to use for the /e/ sounds. The Hebrew Academy, in its examples of loanword niqqud, uses the tzeirei: טֵלֵפוֹן,[1] as does Reuven Sivan and Edward A. Levenston, The New Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew & English Dictionary, Bantam Books (1975), →ISBN. However, Shimon Zilberman, The Up-to-Date English-Hebrew Hebrew-English Dictionary, Zilberman (1994), uses the segol: טֶלֶפוֹן.
