Inseparable
Some Hebrew prepositions are prefixed to the word that follows them. These are:
ל (le) - to, toward, for *
ב (be/ba) - in, on, by *
כ (ke) - like, as *
מ (me/mi) - from, out of (also comes in separable form - מן)
- When prefixed to a noun the definite article is ommited.
Examples:
נתתי לדויד �?ת הספר (natati ledavid et hasefer) - I gave David the book
המפתחות במכונית (hamaftechot bamechonit)- The keys are in the car
צ�? מש�?! (tse misham) - get out of there!
�?ת - et
The �?ת preposition comes before the direct object - if the object is definite. This preposition doesn't exist in English.
Examples:
Definite - �?ני �?והבת �?ת הסרט הזה (ani ohevet et haseret haze) - I love this movie
Indefinite - �?ני �?והבת סרטי�? (ani ohevet sratim) - I love movies
