how to say “preparations” in Hebrew

 

הֲכָנוֹת

 

 
The word for to prepare something, in Hebrew, is the active-causative verb לְהָכִין listen and repeat. The root is כ.ו.נ (k.w.n), the same as many common Hebrew words including כֵּן listen and repeat yes and נָכוֹן listen and repeat correct.
 
For example:
 
הֵכַנְתִּי אֲרֻחַת עֶרֶב טְעִימָה מְאֹד.
I prepared a very tasty dinner.
 
Likewise, preparation is הֲכָנָה listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
הַהֲכָנוֹת בְּעִצּוּמָן לִקְרַאת חַג הַפֶּסַח.
The preparations are in full swing for the Passover holiday.
