Unit 2: Add personal aspects to your Hebrew Track 17

Definite Article "The" = ‫ה‬

‫ה‬In Hebrew we add the letter in front of a word, when we want to specify

it – same as “The” (definite article) in English.

Example: A teacher = ‫מֹו ֶרה‬, The teacher = ‫ַהמֹו ֶרה‬

Saying my, your, etc. is actually causing specification.

‫ה‬That's why we need to use the as in ‫( ַה ְמ ַנ ֵהל ֶש ִלי‬my manager / boss)
