7 terms

From the root י־ב־שׁ (y-b-sh); compare יָבֵשׁ (yavésh, “dry”).

Verb

ייבש / יִבֵּשׁ • (yibésh) (pi'el construction, passive counterpart יובש / יֻבַּשׁ)

  1. (transitive) To dry, to dry out: to cause to become dry.
    ייבשתי את זה. ― yibáshti et ze. ― I dried it.

Usage notes

  • Unlike English dry, Hebrew יִבֵּשׁ is specifically used when one person or thing is drying another. When a person or thing is becoming dry on its own, the related intransitive verb התייבש / הִתְיַבֵּשׁ (hityabésh) is used.
