In this post we’ll be looking at the root \u05d3-\u05dc-\u05e7. As an example, we have the word \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 (le\u2019hadleek) “to light” or “kindle (a fire)”.<\/p>\n

This root is connected to fire or fuel. In fact, the word for fire is \u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4 (d\u2019leikah). And when a person lights a fire, he or she \u05de\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 (madleek) the fire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If there’s a light (when someone turns on a light or an electrical appliance), we also say that he \u05de\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 (madleek) it.<\/p>\n

When a flame or a light is lit, we say it is \u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b6\u05e7\u05b6\u05ea (doleket). If something is flammable, we say it is \u05d3\u05b8\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 (daleek). Speaking of flammable, I also mentioned that the word fuel comes from this root. In Hebrew, all types of fuel are called \u05d3\u05b6\u05dc\u05b6\u05e7 (delek) fuel, gas.<\/p>\n

The act of putting gas in a car is called \u05e7\u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05d3\u05b4\u05ea \u05ea\u05b4\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e7 (tidluk).<\/p>\n

A gas station attendant is called a \u05de\u05b0\u05ea\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b5\u05e7 (metdalek).<\/p>\n

This root is also used in other ways, such as an infection or inflammation is known as \u05d3\u05b7\u05dc\u05b6\u05e7\u05b6\u05ea (daleket) – because it has a burning or hot sensation, like a fire.<\/p>\n

Slang use<\/h3>\n

In Hebrew slang, the root \u05e7-\u05dc-\u05d3 express situations that involve a strong positive or negative emotion in a person.<\/p>\n

\u05d6\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b4\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9 – It angered him.
\n\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05e0\u05b4\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b7\u05e7 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b6\u05d9\u05d4\u05b8 – He had the hots for her.
\n\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05d7\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05de\u05b7\u05de\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1 \u05de\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 – He is a really cool guy.<\/p>\n
