לְהִתָּקַע

 

 
The rain may be a blessing, but most people don’t like getting stuck in it for too long.
 
The Hebrew word for to get stuck is לְהִתָּקַע  listen and repeat
 
Using the above example:
 
נִתְקַעְתִּי בַּגֶּשֶׁם.
I got stuck in the rain.
 
להיתקע is a נפעל variety of the active-simple verbלִתְקוֹעַ  listen and repeat to insert, to thrust, to stick.
 
For example:
 
הַיֶּלֶד כִּמְעַט תָּקַע אֶת הָאֶצְבַּע בַּשֶּׁקַע.
The boy almost stuck his finger in the socket.
 
And to say, I’m stuck, it’s:
 
אֲנִי תָּקוּעַ  listen and repeat when the speaker is a male (as in this classic Israeli comedy routine)
 
and
 
אֲנִי תְּקוּעָה  listen and repeat when the speaker is a female.
