לאשר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/אישור-#.m4a” /], a פיעל verb, means to confirm or to validate.

For example:

Please confirm (intention for) arrival by the end of the month.

Likewise, אישור[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/אישור-#.m4a” /] is confirmation. Israelis use this word all the time, often referring to a certificate of confirmation, as in:
