Binyan Nif’al - Introduction

In Binyan ְפ ַעל ִנ we have some distinct characteristics:

Verbs associated with this Binyan have the same sound pattern
nI.. A.. in the past tense as the sound pattern of the name of Binyan Nif’al
(nIf'Al) suggests.

Binyan Nif’al includes many very useful verbs such as:

רַג ְסִנ ח ָת ְפִנ ר ַא ְשִנ סַנ ְכִנ

Was closed Was opened Remained Entered

nIs'gAr nIf'tAkh nIsh'Ar nIkh'nAs

Pay attention again: all of these verbs have the vowels for third person
in the past tense, which are the same vowels as in the name of the Binyan

nIf'Al and maintain the sound pattern: nI.. A..

The infinitive form usually begins with ִהְל and has three syllables and
the sound is

*L'HI...A...E... - ֵי ָֽי ִ הְל

Example:

To enter - סֵנָכ ִהְל

It is possible to write either סֵנָכ ִהְל or סֵנָכי ִהְל and likewise with other
verbs in this group.

* Please note that for verbs that start with a guttural letter the sound
pattern is slightly different.

Instead of L'HI...A...E..., the sound pattern is

L'HE...A...E... as in the following verb:

To fall asleep - ם ֵדר ֵ ה ָ ְל
