As you have noticed, the
nouns change their form slightly adapting to the gender.
For the convenience of
arranging the material in this book, most of the examples in the
exercises are usually based on the masculine form.
However, when completing the
charts in Hebrew, please refer to the relevant gender (male or
female).
Remember: Nouns in Hebrew change according to gender.
Creating a Question Sentence
Using Hebrew Nouns
In order to ask a question in
Hebrew using nouns, the main thing is to use questioning
intonation.
In Hebrew we do not have the
structure: "Are you …? , Is he …? etc."
The words and the order of
the words can remain the same; what changes is the intonation.
For instance:
|

PHONETIC |
Hebrew |
|
àÇúÌÈä úÌÇìÀîÄéã. |
ATA TALMID. |
You are a student.
|
|
àÇúÌÈä úÌÇìÀîÄéã? |
ATA TALMID? |
Q. Are you a
student?
|
Exercise:
Answer the questions in the
chart following the example.

Are you a student?
|

|
|

|
|
|

Remember: Questions are created using the same structure as a
regular sentence, only the intonation changes.
