אישה מדהימה


Explanation:
Not sure what you find so bizarre about my reply, Eynati, but the reason I posted it- obviously- is that in my view 'מדהימה' and 'נפלאה' are both better than 'מפליאה'. There's no need to take this personally!

disagree  Eynati: You needed it, obviously. There is still nothing whatsoever wrong with mafli'a: check your dictionary.

  -> thanks for the lesson in button-pushing, you're quite right. As to the actual word in question- can we agree to differ and leave it at that?? There are no 'rights' and 'wrongs' here- just different views.

disagree  ShazamTranslate: 'מופלאה' might be better than 'מפליאה' which doesn't sound quite right. But i agree with Akiva that the best translation would be 'מדהימה'

  -> And you are making this bizarre statement because ...? What exactly is wrong with mafli'a? I can see I'll be dried out, waiting for an answer ...
