Combining Preposition with a Pronoun

Previously we saw how to combine a preposition with a pronoun. The
structure is shown in the second column of the following table.
In Hebrew prepositions can be combined with pronouns to create a single
word.
The endings of these combined words are the same for all prepositions
corresponding to the pronouns. This can be seen in the second column of
the following charts.

‫ֶשל‬ ...‫ְל‬ General Pronoun
Mine ‫ֶשּ ִלי‬ )To) me ‫ִלי‬ structure
(To) you ‫ְלָך‬ ‫א ִני‬
Yours (m.) ‫ֶשּ ְלָך‬ ‫י‬ ‫א ָתה‬

‫ָך‬

Theirs (m.) ‫)ָל ֶהם ֶשּ ָל ֶהם‬To) them (m. pl.) ‫ ֶהם‬ ‫ֵהם‬

Theirs (f.) ‫)ָל ֶהן ֶשּ ָל ֶהן‬To) them (m. pl.) ‫ ֶהן‬ ‫* ֵהן‬

* Please note: The feminine forms of ‫ ֵהן‬/ ‫ א ֶתן‬and respectively ‫ ָל ֶהן‬/ ‫ ָל ֶכן‬are not in
use in modern Hebrew. Usually people use ‫ ֶשּ ָל ֶהם‬/ ‫ ֶשּ ָל ֶכם‬for both masculine and
feminine.

Examples:

...‫ֶשל‬ Do you want your coffee? ?‫א ָתה רֹו ֶצה ֶאת ה ָק ֶפה ֶשּ ְלָך‬
...‫ְל‬ .‫ֲא ַנחנּו אֹו ֲהבים ֶאת ַהמדינה ׁ ֶשלנּו‬
