Overview

This lesson focuses on the נפעל and its intense-reflexive התפעל.

When compared to English, the נפעל is somewhat elusive. Sometimes it is a passive (action done by someone), sometimes reflexive (action done to oneself), and sometimes is a perfectly active verb - not passive, not reflexive, and yet its form is נפעל.

This lesson tries to show examples in all categories, but, as already indicated in previous lessons, in many cases just memorize the most useful ones without worrying much abot the form.
