The opening as it read in 2025
Grammatical rules of the modern-day Hebrew language The grammar of Modern Hebrew shares similarities with that of its Biblical Hebrew counterpart, but it has evolved significantly over time. Modern Hebrew grammar incorporates analytic constructions, expressing such forms as dative , allative , and accusative using prepositional particles rather than morphological cases . Modern Hebrew grammar is also fusional synthetic : inflection plays a role in the formation of verbs and nouns (using non-concatenative discontinuous morphemes realised by vowel transfixation ) and the declension of prepositions (i.e. with pronominal suffixes).

Modern Hebrew grammar is partly analytical , expressing such forms as dative , ablative , and accusative using prepositional particles rather than morphological cases . However, inflection plays a decisive role in the formation of the verbs, the declension of prepositions (i.e. with pronominal suffixes), and the genitive construct of nouns as well as the formation of the plural of nouns and adjectives.
