Questions & Answers about לכל תא יש מספר.

What is the word-for-word breakdown of לכל תא יש מספר?

• לכל = ל־
  • כל, literally to every / for each
• תא = cell
• יש = there is / there exists
• מספר = number

So the literal structure is roughly for each cell there is a number.

Why is לכל written as one word?

Because ל־ is a prefix preposition in Hebrew. It attaches directly to the following word.

So:

• ל־ = to / for
• כל = every / each / all

Together: לכל = to every / for each

With vowels, it would be לְכָל.

Why is there a ל־ at all? Why not just כל תא יש מספר?
