how to say “to reproduce” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

 

לְהִתְרַבּוֹת

 

 
If you know a bit of Hebrew, you probably know the word for a lot or much – הַרְבֵּה  listen and repeat – as in:
 
אֲנִי רוֹצֶה לָדַעַת הַרְבֵּה עִבְרִית.
I (a male) want to know a lot of Hebrew.
 
The root ר.ב.ה (r.b.h) also finds expression in the word for to reproduce or to become many, the reflexive-intensive verb לְהִתְרַבּוֹת  listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
הָאֻכְלוּסִיָּה הַזֹּאת מִתְרַבָּה בְּקֶצֶב מָהִיר מְאֹד.
This population is reproducing at a very fast rate.
