how to say “verify” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
If you know some Hebrew, you likely know the word for truth – אֶמֶת (eh-MET).
 
Suppose a woman representing your credit card company calls to inform you that you and your family have won a trip to Euro Disney. She’d ask you to verify your details. This is how she might say it: 
 
אֲנִי רַק צְרִיכָה לְאַמֵּת אֶת הַפְּרָטִים שֶׁלָּכֶם (ah-NEE rahk roh-TSAH le-ah-MET et hah-prah-TEEM sheh-lah-KHEM) – I just need to verify your details.
 
לְאַמֵּת – to verify. It falls under the פִּעֵל (pee-EL) verb form. You can learn how to conjugate this verb by visiting the פיעל page on ulpan.com.
