Question words "Where?"

Question words "Where?"

A. Griber

In this lesson, you will learn the question word אֵיפֹה? (Eyfo) - "where?", Which is used to obtain information on the whereabouts of a person, object or object.

You certainly remember the famous song "Spinning, spinning blue ball":

"Where is the street where this house,

Where is this girl that I love?

Here is the street, so this house,

Here is a young lady that I love. "

Do you want to translate the song into Hebrew? You are welcome:

, אֵיפֹה הַבַּיִת, אֵיפֹה הָרְחוֹב

(Eyfo habAyit, eyfO harehOv,)

"Where is the house where the street"

? אֵיפֹה בַּחוּרָה שֶעָלַיי לֶאֱהוֹב

(EyfO Bakhur SHE-Alai leehov?)

"Where the girl should I love?"

, הִנֵה הַבַּיִת, הִנֵה הָרְחוֹב

(HIne habAyit, hinE harehOv,)

"That house, that street"

.הִנֵה בַּחוּרָה שֶעָלַיי לֶאֱהוֹב

(HinE Bakhur SHE-Alai leehov.)

"This girl I should love."

Meet the new words:

Word שֶעָלַיי (SHE-Alai) consists of the union שֶ (she-) - "that which is" a word עָלַיי (alli) - "I have / should I (do something)", which consists of an excuse עַל (al) and a plurality of objects pronominal suffix י ַ (-ay; vocalization "Patach and the letter" Yod ").

Word לֶאֱהוֹב (leehov) - "love" - a form of the verb infinitive (infinitive).
