Suits in different langueges

In hebrew

 

pic (not a hebrew word)

Lev

Yahalom

Tiltan

I seem to remember a different word for spades, but don't remember what (my hebrew isn't that great). Something like "alleh". I'm not sure, though. But I had never heard the word "pic". I totally believe you, that people use it, but my grandparents were sticklers for not substituting non-hebrew words, so I know that they used something else, if only I could remember what it is. :angry:

You remember correct, many use "alle" and sometimes "alle Shahor"

alle is a leaf

Shahor is black

The problem is that clubs are also kind of a leaf (which is called tiltan), So this name isnt that great.

Whist players use pic for spades, bridge players use the english terms.
