Grammar Notes

This word was introduced in Letters 1, but this is a good time to review it.

does not have a meaning; its job is to indicate that the following statement is actually a question. It is completely normal to leave it out, although it might come across as a tiny bit informal.

You cannot have along with any other questions; these words replace it with more specific questions.

Which

There are three forms for this word:

  • – singular masculine
  • – singular feminine
  • – plural

However, native Hebrew speakers may only use the singular forms or only the singular masculine in informal conversations. Duolingo will in general accept only the proper gender and number for "which".

The rule

Question words come first; the word order otherwise stays like a statement. A yes/no question is just a statement said with a rising voice.

whatwhowhere
whenwhyhow
how much/manyto wherefrom where
/ / which (masc. / fem. / plural)

Each sentence shows the rule. Listen, say it after the voice, then tap the grey bar for the meaning and a note on the rule. The pattern quiz blanks out the key form.
