Читать книгу Hebrew For Dummies - Jill Suzanne Jacobs - Страница 42

Hebrew has a set of pronouns for “this” or “that” that are specialized according to masculine singular (MS), feminine singular (FS), and masculine plural for both masculine and feminine (NB). Although nonbinary pronouns are in their nascence in Hebrew, I’m including them here along with binary gendered pronouns:

 זֶה (zeh; this [is]) (MS)

 זֹאת (zoht; this [is]) (FS)

 זאֶת (zeht. This is) (NB)

 אֶלָּא (ay-leh; these [are]) (MP/FP)

These words can function as the subject of an “is” sentence or as adjectives:

 זֶה מַפְתֵּחַ (zeh mahf-tay-ah): This is a key.

 הַמַּפְתֵּחַ הַזֶּה (hah -mahf-tay-ah hah-zeh)-: this key
