TZADI is the eighteenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
The numerical value of TZADI is 90
In modern Hebrew, the frequency usage of the letter TZADI is 1.48%
The TZADI sounds like the “tz” in preTZel
TZADI is one of five Hebrew letters differently written when appearing at the end of a word. The others are CHAF, MEM, NUN, and TZADI
Some call this letter TZADIK (which means ‘a righteous person’). The letter that follows TZADI in the Hebrew alphabet is the letter KUF (sounds like ‘k’ in kite), and so, when the Alef-Bet is recited, the ‘k’ sound of the KUF attaches itself to the TZADI. The proper pronunciation, according to most, is TZADI, though some dictionaries suggest both pronunciations are acceptable.
