This is the 527th most frequent Hebrew word.
מקווה
A ritual bath in Judaism used for purification.
In this sentence, 'מקווה' is used as a verb meaning 'hope'.
אני מקווה שהמסיבה תהיה כיפית.
I hope the party will be fun.
Here, 'מקווה' refers to the noun meaning 'mikveh', a ritual bath.
עליך ללכת למקווה לפני החתונה.
You need to go to the mikveh before the wedding.
Again, 'מקווה' functions as a verb meaning 'hope', emphasizing a personal wish.
