Questions & Answers about שדה הראייה רחב.
A common pronunciation is sde ha-re'iya rakhav.
A few notes:
- שדה here is usually pronounced sde, not sa-deh
- הראייה is ha-re'iya, with a small break between re and i because of the א
- רחב is ra-KHAV, with the stress on the last syllable and the Hebrew ח pronounced like kh in Bach or Scottish loch
If the sentence has niqqud, it would look roughly like שְׂדֵה הָרְאִיָּה רָחָב.
Because in Hebrew, simple present-tense sentences often do not use a word for is/are.
So Hebrew commonly says:
- שדה הראייה רחב
- literally: the field of vision wide
But the natural English meaning is The field of vision is wide.
This is called a nominal sentence. In the present tense, Hebrew usually leaves out the verb to be.
