Binyan Nif’al

‫בניין נפעל‬

Moving from Infinitive Form to 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. Follow the arrows
to find the prefixes used for each pronoun.

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+‫ֵהם ← ִי‬ ‫ּו‬+‫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..."
