Prefixes and suffixes in Hebrew
- Prefixes and suffixes in Hebrew
There are several prefixes and suffixes in Hebrew which are appended to regular words to introduce a new meaning. In Hebrew, the letters which form these prefixes and suffixes are called "Utility Letters" (Hebrew: אותיות השימוש, "Otiyot HaShimush"). Ten of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet are considered "Otiyot HaShimush".
Prefixes
Prefixes in Hebrew serve multiple purposes. A prefix can serve as a conjunction, preposition, definite article or interrogative. Prefixes are also used when conjugating verbs in the future tense and for various other purposes.
Conjunctions
Interrogative
uffixes
Suffixes in Hebrew are used to form plurals of nouns and adjectives, in verb conjugation of all tenses, and to indicate possession and direct objects. They are also used for the construct noun form.

Due to noun-adjective agreement rules, plurals also apply to a noun's adjectival modifiers.
