The Adjective
|
|
|
The Adjective comes in four forms...
|
good.
m.s. - טוֹב f.s. - טוֹבָה m.pl. - טוֹבִים f.pl. - טוֹבוֹת |
|
|
When an adjective whose first syllable is vocalized by a קָמָץ(ָ) is made feminine or plural...
|
the קָמָץ (ָ) is changed to a שְׁוָא (ְ)
ex. גָּדוֹל m.s. - גָּ^דוֹל f.s. - גְּדוֹלָ^ה m.pl. - גְּדוֹלִ^ים f.pl. - גְּדוֹל^וֹת ^ indicates accent stress |
|
|
When an adjective is made feminine or plural, whose first syllable is vocalized by a קָמָץ(ָ) AND the קָמָץ (ָ)is preceded by a guttural...
|
...instead of changing to a שְׁוָא (ְ), the קָמָץ (ָ) becomes a חֲטַף-פַּתָּח (ֲ)
ex. חָכָם m.s. - חָ^כָם f.s. - חֲכָמָ^ה m.pl. - חֲכָמִ^ים f.pl. - חֲכָמ^וֹת |
|
|
Adjectives whose first syllable is vocalized by קָמָץ (ָ) lose it in the feminine and the plural because...
|
...there is a shift in accent. The קָמָץ (ָ) is a long vowel and must have the accent fall either on it or on the letter right next to it.
|
|
|
Adjectives ending in "ה" ...
|
...retain their initial קָמָץ (ָ)
|
|
|
Adjectives ending in "ה" retiain their initial קָמָץ (ָ) because...
|
the accent is not shifted and the "ה" is dropped when pluralized.
|
|
|
Adjectives whose final letter is a "ה"...
|
... have the "ה" dropped when pluralized.
ex: יָפֶה m.s. - יָפֶה f.s. - יָפָה m.pl. - יָפִים f.pl. - יָפוֹת |
|
|
Position of the Adjective.
The adjective always... אִישׁ טוֹב אֲנָשִׁים טוֹבִים אִשָּׁה טוֹבָה נָשִׁים טוֹבוֹת |
...follows the noun it qualifies.
ex. a good man - אִישׁ טוֹב good men - אֲנָשִׁים טוֹבִים a good woman - אִשָּׁה טוֹבָה good women - נָשִׁים טוֹבוֹת |
|
|
The agreement of the Adjective
The adjective must agree with the noun it qualifies in ... תַּלְמִיד טוֹב תַּלְמִידָה טוֹבָה תַּלְמִידִים טוֹבִים תַּלְמִידוֹת טוֹבוֹת הַתָּלְמִיד הַטּוֹב הַתַּלְמִידָה הטּוֹבָה הַתַּלְמִידִים הַטּוֹבִים הַתַּלְמִידוֹת הַטּוֹבוֹת |
...in gender, in number and in definiteness.
A good student (m.s.)= תַּלְמִיד טוֹב A good student (f.s.) = תַּלְמִידָה טוֹבָה Good students (m.pl.) =תַּלְמִידִים טוֹבִים Good students (f.pl.) =הַּלְמִידוֹת טוֹבוֹת The good student (m.s.) =הַתָּלְמִיד הַטּוֹב The good student (f.s.) =הַתַּלְמִידָה הטּוֹבָה The good students (m.pl.) =הַתַּלְמִידִים הַטּוֹבִים The good students (f.pl.) =הַתַּלְמִידוֹת הַטּוֹבוֹת |
|
|
The Plural of the Adjective.
When qualifying a masculine plural noun... |
...the adjective always ends in the suffix ים.- REGARDLESS of the ending of the noun it qualifies.
ex. לוּחוֹת גְּדוֹלִים - large blackboards |
|
|
The Plural of the Adjective.
When qualifying a feminine plural noun... |
...the adjective always ends in the suffix וֹת- REGARDLESS of the ending of the noun it qualifies.
ex. נָשִׁים יָפוֹת - beautiful women |
|
|
The adjective as a Predicate.
When an adjective serves as a predicate... .הַתַּלְמִיד טוֹב .הַתַּלְמִידָה טוֹבָה .הַתַּלְמִידִים טוֹבִים .הַתַּלְמִידוֹת טוֹבוֹת |
... it does not take the definite article in this case.
.הַתַּלְמִיד טוֹב = The student (m.) is good. .הַתַּלְמִידָה טוֹבָה = The student (f.) is good. .הַתַּלְמִידִים טוֹבִים = The students (m.pl.) are good. .הַתַּלְמִידוֹת טוֹבוֹת = The students (f.pl.) are good. |
|
|

Ex. Life -- חַיִּים |
There are a number of nouns which are plural in form but singular in meaning.
ex. Life -- חַיִּים |
|
|
Plural Nouns:

...the adjective must also be put in plural.
ex. חַיִּים יָפִים - A beautiful life חַיִּים טוֹבִים - A good life הַחַיִּים יָפִים - Life is beautiful הַחַיִּים טוֹבִים - Life is good |
|
|
חַיִּים יָפִים

|
|
The Position of the Adverb
An Adverb always... |
...follows the verb it qualifies.
ex. .הוּא עוֹבֵד הַרְבֵּה - He works a lot. |
|
|
The Position of the Adverb.
An adverb always follows the verb it qualifies, but... |
... there is no agreement with it in gender or in number.
ex. .הֵן עוֹבְדוֹת הַרְבֵּה - They (f.pl.) work (f.pl.) a lot. Note: the הַרְבֵּה remains unmodified regardless of gender or number. |
|
|
.הוּא עוֹבֵד הַרְבֵּה
|
.הוּא עוֹבֵד הַרְבֵּה - He (m.s.)works (m.s.) a lot.
|
|
|
.הֵן עוֹבְדוֹת הַרְבֵּה
|
.הֵן עוֹבְדוֹת הַרְבֵּה - They (f.pl.) work (f.pl.) a lot.
|
|
|
.הִיא עוֹבֶדֶת הַרְבֵּה
|
.הִיא עוֹבֶדֶת הַרְבֵּה - She (f.s.) works (f.s.) a lot.
|
|
|
.הֵם עוֹבְדִים הַרְבֵּה
|
.הֵם עוֹבְדִים הַרְבֵּה - They (m.pl) work (m.pl.) a lot.
|
|
|
The Adverb - הַרְבֵּה
This adverb may also be used adjectivally. In this case it... .יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה אֲנָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב .יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה נָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב |
...generally precedes the noun and does not require agreement in gender or number with the noun.
It is similar to the english expression "a lot of" ex. .יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה אֲנָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב - There are many (a lot of) men (people) in the street. .יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה נָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב - There are many (a lot of) women in the street. |
|
|
.יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה אֲנָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב
|
.יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה אֲנָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב - There are many (a lot of) men (people) in the street.
|
|
|
.יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה נָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב
|
.יֵשׁ הַרְבֵּה נָשִׁים בָּרְחוֹב - There are many (a lot of) women in the street.
