"בתי הכנסת שלהם גדולים ויפים."

Translation: Their synagogues are big and pretty.

[adisuissa]

i wrote "their synagogues are big and nice" and it was marked as wrong because i didn't write "Their synagogues are big and pretty". i speak fluent hebrew and fluent english and both "nice" and "pretty" mean "יפה " in hebrew.

You should use "report" for this. Moderators don't often read the comments, they are used for discussion.

nice is accepted now

If it's helpful to anyone - in Minnesota and I think generally around the USA - we would more likely refer to a building as beautiful, probably not pretty.

[Theresa754142]

True, unless it’s something like a pretty little cottage. The idea of a pretty synagogue was jarring.

This program is inconsistent with acceptable translations for בית כנסת, I usually say "temple" or "shul" in English, and I've noticed these words are sometimes okay and sometimes not.

[lags391]

Shul is not English and temple can refer to multiple religions, that's why it's so specific.

[IngeborgHa14]

Well, pagan temples are usually called a בֵּית־מִקְדָּשׁ instead.

[NoamKriten]

The literal translation is "synagogue". That's an English word with one specific meaning - a Jewish praying house.

Do you use די שול in Hebrew, too?
