how to say “win-win” in Hebrew
A win-win situation is one in which both (or all parties) involved come out winners.
One of the words in Hebrew for to win is לְנַצֵּח (leh-nah-TSEH-ahkh). It’s a פיעל (pee-EHL) verb coming from the root נ.צ.ח (n.ts.kh) meaning eternity. I suppose there’s a feeling of everlasting that accompanies a win… as well as an act of conducting an orchestra (another meaning of לנצח).

Ktzat Ivrit is a win-win situation. I, the author, benefit from great publicity for Ulpan La-Inyan, from sponsorships and ads that sometimes appear, as well as from the pleasure of educating and entertaining you, receiving feedback like this:
“I also want you to know how much I enjoy the daily dose of Ivrit. You choose words that are not normally in daily conversation, but, when the root is shown, are recognizable. Thank you!”
