Getting and making others happy… in Hebrew – http://ktzat-ivrit.ulpan.com

לשמח

The Hebrew word for happy is שָׂמֵחַ (sah-MEH-ah), or שְׂמֵחָה (smeh-HAH) for a female who is happy.

To make someone else happy is לְשַׂמֵּחַ (le-sah-MEH-ah). For example, it’s a mitzvah לְשַׂמֵּחַ חָתָן וְכַלָּה (le-sah-MEH-ah hah-TAHN ve-khah-LAH) – to cause a groom and bride to be happy.
