Today we learned a new verb form - verbs with four letter roots. These basically follow the Piel format, although there is no yud in the shoresh. They are commonly used for foreign words, or words that describe noises.

Example:

לקלקל - lekalkel - to spoil, damage, or break.

הוא מקלקל (present)

הוא קלקל (kilkel) (past)

הוא יקלקל (future)

Passive (huphal) form is מקולקל (mkulkal).

Another verb of this form was לפורסם - lforsam - to publish, to advertise.

Huphal form was מפורסם - mefoorsam - famous.

לסלוח - to pardon, to forgive - liloach

ליסבול -to bear, stand, suffer

סבלנות - patience

זה לו נסבל - niphal form - it's unbearable

קר לי - I'm cold

חם לי - I'm hot

טוב לי - it's good for me

מעניין לי - it interests me

קשה לי - it's hard for me

אני דומה לאבא שלי - I am like, similar to, my father
