how to say “to train someone” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
Following yesterday’s word, כִּשָּׁרוֹן (kee-shah-ROHN) – talent, I’ve got a related word from the same root (כ.ש.ר – k.sh.r).
 
To cause someone to be prepared for a task or to train someone is לְהַכְשִׁיר (le-hahkh-SHEER).
 
For example, אֲנִי הוֹלֵךְ לְהַכְשִׁיר מִישֶׁהוּ בְּרַעֲנָנָה (ah-NEE hoh-LEKH le-hahkh-SHEER MEE-sheh-hoo be-rah-ah-NAH-nah) – I’m going to train someone in Raanana… for the upcoming session of Ulpan La-Inyan.
