Binyan Nif'al

Binyan Nif'al – Future Tense

‫ְל ִה‬In Binyan Nif’al we omit the infinitive form prefix , while

maintaining the sound pattern of the infinitive form:

...EE...A...E...

‫ְל ִה‬Instead of the we use prefixes corresponding to the pronouns. As an

example let’s use the verb:

to get in - ‫ְל ִה ָכ ֵנס‬

‫ְל ִה ָכ ֵנס ← ָכ ֵנס‬

Pronoun  ‫היא ← ִת הּוא ← ִי א ַנחנּו ← ִנ‬/‫* ֲאני ← ֶא ַא ָתה‬
Prefix
‫כ ֵנס‬+‫כ ֵנס ִנ‬+‫ִי‬ ‫כ ֵנס‬+‫כ ֵנס ִת‬+‫ֶא‬
Prefix 
‫ִיכ ֵנס ִנכ ֵנס‬ ‫ֶאכ ֵנס ִתכ ֵנס‬

As we add the corresponding suffixes, the ‘E’ sound disappears:

Pronoun  ‫ּו‬+‫ּו ֵהם ← ִי‬+‫ַא ֶתם ← ִת‬ ‫י‬+‫ַא ְת ← ִת‬
Prefix & Suffix
‫ּו‬+‫כנס‬+‫ִי‬ ‫ּו‬+‫כנס‬+‫ִת‬ ‫י‬+‫כנס‬+‫ִת‬
Prefix & Suffix  ‫ִיכנסּו‬ ‫ִתכנסּו‬ ‫ִתכנסי‬

*Note that the music for ‫ ֲא ִני‬is "E..A..E..."
