Perhaps you know the Hebrew word for a show – מופע[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להופיע-#.m4a” /] (or perhaps its synonym, הופעה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להופיע-#.m4a” /]).

These words come from the הפעיל verb להופיע[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להופיע-#.m4a” /] – to appear, which means to perform.

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/להופיע-#.m4a” /]הלהקה מופיעה כל יום בעיר אחרת בחוף המזרחי.

The band is appearing/performing every day in a different city on the east coast.
