- (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.
