Summary
Dropped your phone? Did the screen crack? The phone needs fixing! The Hebrew word you'll need to know is tikun, from the root ืชืงื . Use it when something needs to be fixed.
Tikunim (plural of tikun) also means corrections, amendments, alterations. Not familiar with the ืชืงื root and its related words? We can fix that!
