Hebrew

Etymology

From תת־ (tát) +‎ תַּרְבּוּת (tarbút). A calque of English subculture, of German Subkultur or similar.

Noun

תַּת־תַּרְבּוּת • (tát-tarbút) f

1. a subculture

   Synonym: תַּרְבּוּת מִשְׁנֶה (tarbút mishné)

Usage notes

• Whereas English terms starting with the prefix sub- are relatively common, Hebrew terms for the same concepts that use the roughly equivalent תַּת־ (tat-) prefix are less so. In this case the synonymous תַּרְבּוּת מִשְׁנֶה (tarbút mishné) is about five times more common.
