Instead of memorizing lists, you can learn the core “mental image” behind a light verb. For example:
- zadan: Represents a “quick, sudden impact” or spark (e.g., knocking on a door or smiling).
- gereftan: Represents “closing a fist around something,” which covers possession (learning), blockage (getting hoarse), or being overcome (catching fire).
- keshidan: Represents “pulling or extending” over space or time (e.g., breathing or waiting).
