how to say "takeoff" in Hebrew

המראה
I just came back from Ben Gurion International Airport, where I saw off my parents who are returning to the US tonight from a trip to Israel.




I'm proud of our super-cool airport.


The word for takeoff is הַמְרָאָה (hahm-rah-AH), which comes from the verb לְהַמְרִיא (le-hahm-REE) - to take off, as what planes and other flying objects do.

Tomorrow, expect the word for to land.
