Table
A piece of furniture with a flat top.
ארוחת הערב על השולחן.
Dinner is on the table.
The word 'שולחן' (shulchan) can be traced back to the root 'ש-ל-כ', related to the idea of spreading or laying out, which fits the function of a table as a surface for placed items.
Used informally and formally in both spoken and written forms, 'שולחן' is a common term across Hebrew-speaking communities, found in dining, workplace, and educational contexts.
