One of the Hebrew words for crowded is צפוף[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/צפיפות-2.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/צפיפות-3.m4a” /]צפוף מאוד ברכבת התחתית.

It’s very crowded in the subway.

Likewise, crowdedness (also the physics term in Hebrew for density) is צפיפות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/צפיפות-1.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/צפיפות-4.m4a” /]צפיפות יתר מהווה בעיה של העידן המודרני.

Overcrowdedness constitutes a problem of the Modern Era.
