Binyan Nif'al

Binyan Nif'al – Past Tense

In Binyan Nif'al, the easiest way to get to the past tense “kernel” is by

using present tense form. For example:

‫ ִנ ְכ ַנס‬ ‫ְל ִה ָכ ֵנס‬

And that's it! This basic sound pattern already sounds like the name of
the Binyan – Nif'al:

NI...A...

To this basic "kernel" we add the corresponding suffixes according to
the pronoun. As an example let’s use the verb:

to enter - ‫ְל ִה ָכ ֵנס‬
‫ ִנ ְכ ַנס‬ ‫ְל ִה ָכ ֵנס‬

Pronoun  ‫ ּו‬ ‫ ה ֵהם‬ ‫ִהיא‬  ‫הּוא‬
Suffix
‫ּו‬+‫ה ִנ ְכ ְנס‬+‫ִנ ְכ ְנס‬ ‫ִנ ְכ ַנס‬
Suffix  ‫ִנ ְכ ַנס‬
‫ִנ ְכ ְנסּו‬ ‫ִנ ְכ ְנ ָסה‬

Note that the kernel for ‫ הּוא‬is different from the kernel for ‫ ִהיא‬and
‫ֵהם‬

For the second chart, we use a slightly different “kernel”:

Pronoun  ‫ ֶתם‬ ‫ַא ֶתם‬ ‫נּו‬ ‫ֲא ַנ ְחנּו‬ ‫ ְת‬ ‫ַא ְת‬ ‫ ָת‬ ‫ַא ָתה‬ ‫ ִתי‬ ‫ֲא ִני‬
Suffix

Suffix  ‫ ֶתם‬+‫נּו ִנ ְכ ַנס‬+‫ ְת ִנ ְכ ַנס‬+‫ ָת ִנ ְכ ַנס‬+‫ ִתי ִנ ְכ ַנס‬+‫ִנ ְכ ַנס‬
‫ִנ ְכ ַנ ְס ִתי ִנ ְכ ַנ ְס ָת ִנ ְכ ַנ ְס ְת ִנ ְכ ַנ ְסנּו ִנ ְכ ַנ ְס ֶתם‬
