Questions & Answers about הערך ברור.
It is usually pronounced ha-EREKH ba-RUR in Modern Hebrew.
- הערך = ha-erekh
- ברור = barur
The ע in הערך is often very light or even silent in modern Israeli pronunciation, though some speakers pronounce it more distinctly.
ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, the equivalent of English the.
So:
- ערך = value / worth / entry
- הערך = the value / the worth / the entry
In Hebrew, the article is attached directly to the word, not written separately.
In present-tense Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted.
So Hebrew often says something that is literally like the value clear, where English requires the value is clear.
That means הערך ברור is a completely normal Hebrew sentence.
