רחץ

See also: ר־ח־ץ

Hebrew

Root
ר־ח־ץ

Verb

רָחַץ (racháts) (pa'al construction)

  1. (transitive) To wash, to clean by washing, as an object or a body part.

Usage notes

  • Unlike English wash, this is not an ergative verb; an English sentence like “I don't like washing in cold water” would in Hebrew use the verb התרחץ (hitrachéts, wash (oneself)).
