Modern Hebrew grammar

Modern Hebrew grammar is partly analytic, expressing such forms as dative, ablative, and accusative using prepositional particles rather than morphological cases.

On the other hand, 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 infixation) and the declension of prepositions (i.e. with pronominal suffixes). That said, Israeli Hebrew is much more analytic than (Biblical/Mishnaic) Hebrew. For example, whereas the ancient Hebrew phrase for "my grandfather" was sav-í "grandfather-1stPerson.Singular.Possessive", in Israeli Hebrew it is sába shelí "grandfather of-me".

Because this article is intended to be useful to non-Hebrew speakers, all examples of Hebrew are represented using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Although most speakers collapse the phonemes /ħ, ʕ/ into /χ, ʔ/, the distinction is maintained by a limited number speakers and will therefore be indicated here for maximum coverage. In the transcriptions, /r/ is used for the rhotic, which is more commonly a lax voiced uvular approximant[ʁ].

The IPA transcriptions used here have been slightly modified to incorporate some punctuation — hyphens, commas, and so on — to indicate the structure of the example. Further, since the Hebrew writing system (its alphabet and niqqud) reflects not only phonology but also some grammar, Hebrew text is provided alongside IPA transcriptions in those cases where appropriate. The Hebrew text may appear with or without niqqud, as the example requires.
