Yesterday we saw that there’s a special wear word for shoes: לנעול נעליים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/לחבוש-כובע-#.m4a” /] means to put on shoes.

There’s another such word for putting on a hat or head covering: לחבוש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/לחבוש-כובע-#.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/לחבוש-כובע-#.m4a” /]אני רק צריך לנעול נעליים ולחבוש כובע, ואני יוצא.

I just need to put on (my) shoes and to put on a hat, and I’m coming out.

לחבוש is a simple verb.
