Tips and notes

Conjunction words in Hebrew are very simple and similar to English.

The conjunction word ""

The conjunction "("that) is attached to words exactly like " ", " ", " "and other prepositions that we've
already learned.

For example:

- I think that he is sleeping.

This conjunction word is always pronounced as "she". In our example the transliteration is:

Ani khoshev shehu yashen.

Another thing we should remember when we use conjunctions is that some of them require the conjunction
"".

For example:

= While (literally - in time that)

= I eat while (that) he is sleeping.

= When(ever) (literally - when that)

 = I go when(ever) (that) you go

When using question words as conjunctions, is essential:

I go where you go

The conjunction word ""

The conjunction word "("because of) requires the definite article "".

For example:

= I don't sleep because of the boy.

When this conjunction is related to a pronoun, we omit the " "and use the conjugation of this conjunction
word. This conjunction word conjugates identically to the first prepositions we learned, following the
singular pattern:

Hebrew Pronunciation English

Biglali Because of me
Biglalcha Because of you(singular masculine)
Biglalech Because of you(singular feminine)
Biglalo Because of him
Biglala Because of her
Biglalenu Because of us
Biglalchem Because of you(plural masculine)
Biglalchen Because of you(plural feminine)
Biglalam Because of them(masculine)
Biglalan Because of them(feminine)

Tips and notes

In this lesson we introduce the second group of prepositions, whose personal pronoun forms are based on a
plural stem:

Person Pronunciation Suffix

me -ay -
you (m) -ekha -
you (f) -ayikh -
him -av -
her -eya -
us -enu -
you (mp) -ekhem -
you (fp) -ekhen -
them (m) -ehem -
them (f) -ehen -

For example, with the word ( el), meaning "toward(s)", "to", we have the following:

English Pronunciation Hebrew

toward me elay
toward you (m) elekha
toward you (f) elayikh
toward him elav
toward her eleha
toward us elenu
toward you (mp) elekhem
toward you (fp) elekhen
toward them (m) elehem
toward them (f) elehen

Although Hebrew doesn't always make use of a word equivalent to "is" in English (eg. the cat is
small), when talking about locations of things, we often use the word ( literally "is found").

So "the shoes are outside" can be translated as "" . ("the shoes are found/located outside")
