The simple verb לצאת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לייצא-2.m4a” /], of the root י.צ.א[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לייצא-3.m4a” /], means to go out. Thus an exit is a יציאה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לייצא-4.m4a” /].
As part of a global economy, Modern Hebrew needs a word for to export, so it plugs י.צ.א into the active-intensive form to create לייצא[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/לייצא-1.m4a” /].
For example:
