Introduction to Prepositions

Additional prepositions with pronouns

Examples: You invite her – )‫ היא‬+ ‫ַאתה ַמזמין אֹו ָתּה ( ֶאת‬
‫ֶאת‬ I see you - )‫ ַאתה‬+ ‫ֲאני רֹו ֶאה אֹו ְתָך ( ֶאת‬

With - ‫עם‬ They study with me - )‫ ֲאני‬+ ‫ֵהם לֹומדים ִא ִתי (עם‬
He talks with her - )‫הּוא מ ַד ֵבר ִא ָתּה (עם היא‬
From – ...‫מ‬
What do you want from me? – ? )‫ ֲאני‬+ ...‫מה ַאתה רֹו ֶצה ִמ ֶמ ִני (מ‬

Note:
1) In modern Hebrew the preposition ‫( עם‬with) when is combined with

pronouns turns to ‫ ִאת‬. For instance, in modern Hebrew we use ‫( ִא ְתָך‬with
you)

instead of ‫עמָך‬.

2) When preposition ...‫( ִמ‬from) is combined with pronouns, the first letter ‫ א‬of
the pronoun in most cases turns to ‫מ‬.

For instance, instead of ‫( ֶמ ֲא ִני‬from me) - we say ‫ ִמ ֶמ ִני‬.

Remember: correct use of preposition is like
selecting matching Lego blocks to create the
structure you desire.

Make sure you use prepositions correctly in
Hebrew, otherwise you might end up creating sentences like the
following one:
