Yesterday we saw the word for glue – דבק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/להדביק-#.m4a” /].
The three letters of דבק form a root that finds application in other words as well, including the הפעיל verb להדביק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/להדביק-#.m4a” /] – to stick.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/להדביק-#.m4a” /]תעשי לי טובה, תדביקי את המודעה הזאת על הלוח.
Do me a favor, stick this ad on the board. (spoken to a female)
להדביק can also mean to infect or to stick someone with a disease:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/להדביק-#.m4a” /]אח שלה הדביק אותה בשיעול.
Her brother infected her with a cough.
