חן
kheyn
charm, grace, magnetic appeal · noun (masculine)
Not beauty. The other thing, the thing the plain cousin has that the pretty one doesn't, and everyone in the family quietly knows it.
זי איז נישט קיין שיינקייט, אָבער זי האָט אַזאַ חן אַז אַלע קוקן אויף איר.
“She's no beauty, but she has such kheyn that everyone looks at her.”
Who in your life has real kheyn and no obvious reason to?
