Usage notes

  • Usually and especially in the present tense, this verb is not used; the adjective צָרִיךְ (tsaríkh) is used in much the same way as a present-tense verb. For the past, future, and imperative forms; the corresponding forms of the verb הָיָה (hayá) + the adjective צָרִיךְ (tsaríkh) are used instead.
