Grammar Notes

This/That/These/Those

Hebrew does not differentiate between "this" and "that" or "these" and "those", so the same word is used for both. There are two words for "these", with being a little more informal than .

For these words, they are treated like adjectives and are placed after the noun.

Each/All

mean both "every" when it is followed by a noun without a definite article and "all" when the following noun has a definite article attached:

  • – every day
  • – all night

The Same

There are four words for the same that are different depending on gender and number, but what they all have in common is that they are placed before the noun (but after prepositions) and the following noun has to have a definite article.

Double Negatives

Hebrew, like many languages, uses double negatives ("I didn't do nothing"). This means that expressions that contain "nothing", "no one", etc. also need to have in them

Impersonal Plural

If you want to express that "one should do this" or "this is done here" then conjugate the verb for the masculine plural and leave out the subject:

  • – apples are eaten/one eats apples
