Questions & Answers about משיכת המזומן היא לא הוראת קבע.
Why is it משיכת and not משיכה?
Because משיכת is the construct form of משיכה.
In Hebrew, when one noun is linked to another in an of relationship, the first noun often changes form. This is called סמיכות.
- משיכה = withdrawal
- משיכת המזומן = withdrawal of the cash / the cash withdrawal
So משיכת here means withdrawal of ..., and the next word completes it.
Why does המזומן make the whole phrase משיכת המזומן definite?
In a construct chain, definiteness is determined by the last noun.
So:
- משיכת מזומן = a cash withdrawal / withdrawal of cash
- משיכת המזומן = the cash withdrawal / withdrawal of the cash
Even though משיכת itself does not take ה־, the whole phrase becomes definite because המזומן is definite.
