תצפיתן שכונתי
Definition from
own experience or research:
הערה לכל התצפיתנים השכונתיים: אם אתם באמת רוצים לדעת מה קורה, נקשו על הדלת.
Example sentences:
"סיורים בלילות, תצפיתנים על הגגות ומוקד מבצעי שידווח למשטרה על כל תנועה חשודה" ברור שהציטוט לא קשור: התרגום שהצעתי הוא פרי מוחי, ולא קיים מלבדו ביטוי שגור למושג המקורי. (http://mynetjerusalem.co.il/)
