In Hebrew: 'Rainforest'

יַעַר גֶּשֶׁם
A rainforest is a place of astounding beauty and biodiversity. Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world's oxygen, according to Wikipedia.
The Hebrew term for rainforest is a literal translation of the English - יַעַר גֶּשֶׁם
, where יער
means forest and גשם
means rain.
An example in context:
"לִפְעָמִים קוֹרְאִים לְיַעֲרוֹת הַגֶּשֵׁם "הָרֵאוֹת שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם
The rainforests are sometimes called "the lungs of the earth."
