The Israeli summer is long. The hot humid season in Israel lasts from June till August, but heat waves hit our little country as soon as the spring. The autumn is pretty warm as well, and so it feels like summer extends for too long. What gives us plenty of opportunities to gorge on ice cream and learn the variety of related Hebrew words.<\/p>\n

\u05d2\u05bc\u05b0\u05dc\u05c5\u05d9\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4<\/strong> (ge-li-da) = ice cream<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u05d2\u05bc\u05b0\u05dc\u05c5\u05d9\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4<\/strong> is fairly a new word in the Hebrew language, appearing for the first time in print in 1909. It was revived by Eliezer Ben\u2011Yehuda (1858\u20131922) from the archaic Hebrew word \u05d2\u05b0\u05bc\u05dc\u05c5\u05d9\u05d3<\/strong>, meaning \u201cicicle\u201d. Ben-Yehuda chose this word for its meaning, but also because it sounds similar to the Italian word for ice-cream \u201cgelato\u201d. He interwove the ancient word into the already exist pattern \u05dd\u05b0\u05dd\u05c5\u05dd\u05dd\u05b8\u05d4<\/strong>, and created a word for the modern sweet frozen food made of whipped cream.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell: \u05d2\u05bc\u05b0\u05dc\u05c5\u05d9\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4<\/strong> is a general name for all the sweet frozen desserts appearing in this article. It can be eaten in a cup, in a cone, on a stick or right from the box. It can be dairy, sorbet or vegan.<\/p>\n

\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong> (ti-lon) = Cornetto<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ice cream cones were already on the market at the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century. But companies failed to manufacture palatable cones filled in frozen ice cream that wouldn\u2019t become soggy. In 1959, an Italian ice-cream manufacturer finally produced the Cornetto. An Israeli milk\u2013woman who visited Italy was impressed by the new product. After returning to Israel, her dairy sold the sweet innovation to the Israeli crowd by the name \u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong>. The icy dessert became popular in Israel, and many other Cornettoes were sold under different brands and names. But \u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong> became a generic trademark for any ready ice cream cone for sale in Israel to this days. The original \u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong> is not manufactured anymore.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell: when eating in an ice cream parlor (\u05d2\u05b0\u05bc\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05d3\u05b6\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4<\/strong>), ice cream in a cone will still be called \u05d2\u05bc\u05b0\u05dc\u05c5\u05d9\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4. When buying frozen cone filled with ice cream (in supermarket, kiosk, etc.) it is called \u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong> (shil-gon) = popsicle, ice<\/strong>\u2013<\/strong>lolly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hebrew dictionaries define \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong> as a sweet frozen dessert on a stick. It can be creamy (basically an ice cream on a stick), or icy (frozen fruit concentrate on a stick). In the dictionaries this Hebrew word for ice\u2013lolly is punctuated with the vowel \u201ci\u201d. But most of the people pronounce it with the vowel \u201ca\u201d \u2013 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong> (shal-gon). I\u2019ve never heard anyone use the correct pronounciation. Fortunately, the Academy of the Hebrew Language accepts both of these pronunciations.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell: the Hebrew word for popsicle is \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong>. Nowadays, this word is less common among Israelis than the two next terms.<\/p>\n

\u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 (ar-tik) = generic trademark for \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/h5>\n

In 1952, a couple of Belgian Jews established a creamy popsicles factory in Israel. They called it \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7<\/strong> after the English name \u201cArctic\u201d. Their first popsicle was vanilla ice cream on a stick coated in a fine chocolate shell. The factory created more kinds of popsicles during the 50\u2019s, all under the name \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7<\/strong> wrapped in tin wrap decorated with polar bears. Not too long after, a competitor company by the name \u05e7\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/strong> (kar-tiv, a combination of the word \u05e7\u05b7\u05e8<\/strong> meaning \u201ccold\u201d with the word \u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/strong> meaning \u201cquality\u201d) was established. The two companies soon merged to one company called \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05c5\u05d9\u05e7\u2013\u05e7\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05c5\u05d9\u05d1<\/strong>. Their variety of \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05d5\u05ba\u05e0\u05c5\u05d9\u05dd<\/strong> (shal-go-nim, plural form of \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong>) was very popular among Israeli kids, but the company was accused of evading taxes, and was closed in 1971. Leaving the Israelis with two generic trademarks \u2013 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7<\/strong> and \u05e7\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/strong> \u2013 that become even more popular than the authentic Hebrew word for popsicle \u2013 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/strong>. In spoken Hebrew, \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 is designated for ice cream popsicle, while \u05e7\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/strong> is designated for ice\u2013lolly (frozen sweet fruit concentrate).<\/p>\n

In a nutshell: \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05c5\u05d9\u05e7<\/strong> is the spoken Hebrew word for ice cream on a stick, and \u05e7\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/strong> is the spoken Hebrew word for ice\u2013lolly.<\/p>\n
