Can't find this in any online dictionary (I'll check my print ones later). Since you're the one who added this, do you remember where you got it from? --WikiTiki89 20:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * The New Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew & English Dictionary, page 261. —Stephen (Talk) 00:50, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, I am only referring to the adjective meaning "smooth, polished". The verb has been moved to its lemma form at . I don't have access to that dictionary, if you still do, could you quote the entry for me? --WikiTiki89 15:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realized what you meant after I thought a little. The entry says: smooth, polished ...... (ת)
 * The next entry says: be smoothed ...... (פ) (‎)
 * Followed by: ease, comfort ...... (ז) —Stephen (Talk) 04:34, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm withdrawing this. --WikiTiki89 15:12, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Slang term from Arabic
Hey all,

I've seen that this word is used as an imperative for "look."

My Hebrew isn't great, so I'm wondering if this is true, and also how we deal with slang not recorded in dictionaries. I've often had trouble trying to find translations and this would be the ideal place to put them. Chaimish (talk) 03:50, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The etymon would be would be standard / . It's in this slang dictionary:
 * שׁוּף! ביטוי שנועד להפנות תשומת לב: ״שוף איזה יופי, חיים״ (משהו טוטאלי); ערבית: שׁוּף! (הסתכל!).
 * In general, Wiktionary's approach (per WT:CFI) is to document any words that can be attested in actual use (preferably in print); they don't have to be recorded in dictionaries. 98.170.164.88 04:38, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
