Usage notes
[edit]- In Modern Hebrew, when the numbers three through ten modify a definite masculine noun and are directly preceding it, the construct form is used:
- חֲמִשָּׁה סְפָרִים ― khamishá s'farím ― five books
- חֲמֵשֶׁת הַסְּפָרִים ― khaméshet has'farím ― the five books
- The construct form is not used for higher numbers ending in five, such as twenty-five:
- עֶשְׂרִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה הַסְּפָרִים ― 'esrím vakhamishá has'farím ― the twenty-five books
- In colloquial Modern Hebrew, the form חָמֵשׁ (khamésh) is often used regardless of gender.
