how to say "absurd" in Hebrew...


No connection to anything, just a word that popped into my head: the Hebrew word for absurd is מְגֻחָך (me-goo-KHAHKH).

For example, קוֹפִים עָפִים מִסָּבִיב לַיָּרֵחַ זֶה דָּבָר מְגוּחָך (koh-FEEM ah-FEEM mee-sah-VEEV lah-yah-REH-ahkh zeh dah-VAHR me-goo-KHAHKH) - Monkeys flying around the moon is something absurd.


You know what else is מגוחך?

Passing up the opportunity to learn to speak Hebrew with Ulpan La-Inyan - in Jerusalem, Raanana and possibly Tel Aviv, starting November 21.
