The Hebrew word for to separate two things from each other is the active-causative להפריד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/פרידה-2.mp3″ /], while to separate from one another is the נפעל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/פרידה-3.mp3″ /] verb להיפרד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/פרידה-4.mp3″ /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/פרידה-5.mp3″ /]נפרדנו.

We separated/broke up.

Likewise, the act of separation and saying goodbye – also a breakup – is פרידה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/פרידה-1.mp3″ /].

For example:

We threw her a goodbye party.
