how to say “a request” in Hebrew

בקשה

If you know some Hebrew, you surely know the word for please: בְּבַקַשָּׁה (be-vah-kah-SHAH). This word means, literally, in request.

The word for a request, likewise, is (bah-kah-SHAH).

I’m taking בַּקַשּׁוֹת (bah-kah-SHOHT) for daily doses of Hebrew, people. Just hit the “comments” section below and send me some. And if you’d like to dedicate your word/phrase to someone, add that in the comment. I just might honor your בקשה 🙂

שבת שלום! (Shabbat Shalom)
