Hebrew Nouns: Hebrew Grammar Series (Part 2)

Introduction

Hebrew is a fascinating and complex language, with many unique grammatical features. In the first part of our Hebrew grammar series, we covered the Hebrew Aleph-Bet (Alphabet). In this second part, we will delve into the intricacies of Hebrew nouns, including their singular and plural forms, as well as the various noun cases.

Noun Gender

Hebrew nouns are divided into two main categories: masculine and feminine. The gender of a noun is determined by its ending, with most nouns ending in -o being masculine and those ending in -a being feminine. For example, the Hebrew word for “book” (sefer) is masculine, while the word for “woman” (isha) is feminine. However, it’s important to note that there are exceptions to this rule, and some nouns that end in -a are also masculine and vice versa. Case in point: The word for “father” (av) is masculine, despite the fact that it ends in the letter “vav” which is feminine.

Singular and Plural Forms

Hebrew nouns also have singular and plural forms, which are indicated by the addition of certain suffixes. The most common plural suffix for masculine nouns is -im, while for feminine nouns it is -ot. For example, the singular form of “book” is sefer, while the plural form is seforim. Similarly, the singular form of “woman” is isha, while the plural form is ishot. For example, the word for “house” (bayit) is masculine and its plural form is “bayitim”

There are also some irregular plural forms, which do not follow the regular rules. For example, the word for “child” (yeled) is irregular, and its plural form is yeladim. And it’s important to note that Hebrew nouns also have dual forms, which are used to indicate two of something. For example, the word for “eye” (ayin) has a dual form “ayinim”.

Hebrew Noun Cases

In addition to singular and plural forms, Hebrew nouns also have various cases that indicate their grammatical function in a sentence. The most common noun cases in Hebrew are the construct, the absolute, and the pronominal.

The Construct Case

The construct case is used when a noun is used in combination with another noun to indicate possession or relationship.

For example, in the phrase “the book of the teacher” (sefer ha-moreh), the word “sefer” is in the construct case, indicating that it is in a relationship with the word “moreh” (teacher). The construct case is formed by adding a prefix to the noun.

Another example: “the city of Jerusalem” (Ir ha-kodesh) where “Ir” is in the construct case indicating that it is in relation to “kodesh” (holy).

The Absolute Case

The absolute case is used when a noun is not in a relationship with any other noun.

For example, in the sentence “the teacher is writing” (ha-moreh yerachem), the word “moreh” is in the absolute case, indicating that it is not in a relationship with any other noun. The absolute case is formed by adding the definite article “ha” to the noun.

Another example: “The dog is barking” (Ha-kelev ra’ot) where “kelev” is in the absolute case, indicating it is not in a relationship with any other noun.

The Pronominal Case

The pronominal case is used when a noun is replaced by a pronoun.

For example, in the sentence “he is reading the book” (hu omed al ha-sefer), the word “sefer” is in the pronominal case, as it is replaced by the pronoun “al” (on). The pronominal case is formed by adding the preposition “al” to the noun.

Another example: “I am going to the store” (Ani holech el ha-makolet) where “makolet” is in the pronominal case, as it is replaced by the pronoun “el” (to).

HATIKVA (THE HOPE)
Israeli National Anthem
The lyrics of "Hatikvah" in Hebrew:

כל עוד בלבב פנימה
נפש יהודי הומייה
ולפאתי מזרח קדימה עין לציון צופיה.

עוד לא אבדה תקוותינו
התקווה בת שנות אלפיים
להיות עם חופשי בארצנו ארץ ציון וירושלים

The Lyrics of "Hatikva" in English:

As long as Jewish spirit,
Yearns deep in the heart,
With eyes turned East,
Looking towards Zion.

Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two millennia,
To be a free people in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

An English transliteration:

Kol od baleivav penimah
Nefesh yehudi homiyah,
Ulfa’atey mizrah kadimah,
Ayin letsiyon tsofiyah;

Od lo avdah tikvateinu,
Hatikvah bat shenot al payim,
Lihyot am hofshi be’artzeinu,
Eretz tziyon veyerushalayim.
