how to say “to undergo” and “to pass” in Hebrew
This is one of those words people typically learn in their first course in Hebrew, but it’s got meanings beyond the simple one.
לַעֲבוֹר (lah-ah-VOHR) means literally to pass, as in אֲתָּה תַּעֲבוֹר אֶת הַצּוֹמֶת (ah-TAH tah-ah-VOHR et hah-TSOH-met) – You (a male) will pass the intersection. This is a future-tense usage of לעבור. The word לעבור itself is a simple (קל) verb.
But לעבור can also mean to undergo, as in הִיא עָבְרָה נִתּוּחַ הַשָּׁבוּע (hee ahv-RAH nee-TOO-ahkh hah-shah-VOO-ah) – She underwent surgery this week. This is a past-tense usage of לעבור.
