Hebrew 2 - Lesson 24

Lesson 24 introduces new vocabulary that is used to describe colors. Colors terminology is used similarly adjective's terminology (look for adjective's rules in lesson #7). Note that many of the colors forms have a similar voweling structure.

Also lesson 24 introduces the form of combination of all ten pronouns with "Shell" (the Hebrew equivalent of "Of" ): Shelly, Shelcha and so forth. It was mentioned in lesson #17 that in Hebrew a pronoun cannot follow a preposition (to you, of him, and so forth) instead the preposition is assigned a pronoun ending.

The possession preposition "Shel" (of) is altered to sound like

"Shelli" (of me)
"Shell Cha" (of you(m/s))
"Shellach" (of you(f/s))
"Shello" (of his)
"Shellah" (of hers)
"ShellaNu" (of us)
"Shell Chem" (of you(p/s))
"Shellachen" (of you(p/s))
"Shellahem" (of them(m))
"Shellahen" (of them(f))
