how to say “to travel” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

The basic Hebrew word for to travel – meaning to get from point A to point B – is the simple verb לנסוע
.

For example:

לאן אתם נוסעים?

Where are you guys going (by car)?

Note that נוסעים
means going in this case: לנסוע is to travel by vehicle or to go somewhere by vehicle, while ללכת
means to walk or to go somewhere by foot.

But that’s travel in the functional sense. What about the leisurely sense? Here the word is לטייל
, a פיעל verb.

For example:

טיילנו בכל איטליה – היה ממש כיף!

We traveled all over Italy – it was a lot of fun!

Hebrew has special words for to travel by various kinds of vessels. Watch today’s video for these.
