Questions & Answers about ההתראה בכתב מציינת הפרת חוזה.
Because one ה is the definite article the, and the other ה is part of the noun itself.
- Base noun: התראה = warning, notice
- With the: ה + התראה = ההתראה
This happens with other nouns too, such as ההודעה and ההחלטה.
In pronunciation, it comes out roughly as ha-hatra'a, so both parts are still there.
בכתב literally means in writing.
In Hebrew, a prepositional phrase like בכתב often does the job that English does with an adjective. So:
- התראה בכתב = a warning in writing = a written warning
You could also hear התראה כתובה, which also means written warning, but בכתב is very common in formal and legal language.
