If you’ve got some rudimentary Hebrew, chances are you know the word for big – גדול[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לגדל-ילד-2.m4a” /].
The word’s root ג.ד.ל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לגדל-ילד-3.m4a” /] lays the foundation for many other words, one of which is the active-intensive verb לגדל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לגדל-ילד-4.m4a” /] – to raise a person, a plant, etc.
To raise a child is לגדל ילד[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לגדל-ילד-1.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לגדל-ילד-5.m4a” /]אני רוצה לגדל את הילדים שלי בסביבה חיובית.
I want to raise my children in a positive environment.
