לבקר (leh-vah-KEHR) is to visit. Thus, following the patterns of the active-intensive פיעל verb, a visit is a בִּקּוּר (bee-KOOR). Visiting the sick is ביקור חוֹלִים (bee-KOOR khoh-LEEM), while a visitor center is מֶרְכַּז מְבַקִּרִים (mehr-KAHZ meh-vah-keh-REEM).



Something that might help you remember the word ביקור is that it rhymes with the Hebrew term for acupuncture – דִּקּוּר סִינִי (dee-KOOR SEE-nee) – literally, Chinese puncturing.
