In Hebrew: 'Reputation'
שֵׁם, מוֹנִיטִין
- names of, I thought it appropriate to introduce another important word related the common word, name - שֵׁם.
A reputation in English can also be called a good name or a bad name. The same is true for Hebrew.
For example:
 |
| לְקֶרְמִיט יֵשׁ מוֹנִיטִין
Kermit has a name for himself |
הִיא נוֹתֶנֶת שֵׁם טוֹב לַמִּשְׁפָּחָה שֶׁלָּהּ.
She gives a good name to the (her) family.
יָצָא שֵׁם רַע עַל הַפּוֹלִיטִקָאִי שֶׁשִּׁקֵּר.
A bad reputation has begun circulating (literally, went out) about the politician who lied.
(a loan word - from which language, I do not know).
לַחֶבְרָה הַהִיא יֵשׁ מוֹנִיטִין בַּשּׁוּק הַבֵּינְלְאֻמִּי.
That company has a reputation/renown in the international market.
(bad) to the phrase: מוֹנִיטִין רַע.
