Questions & Answers about הפעולה הזאת חשובה.

How do you pronounce הפעולה הזאת חשובה?

A common pronunciation is:

ha-pe'u-LA ha-ZOT kha-shu-VA

A few notes:

• ה at the beginning usually sounds like ha-.
• פעולה is stressed on the last syllable: pe'u-LA.
• הזאת is usually ha-ZOT.
• חשובה begins with ח, a throaty sound that does not exist in standard English. If that is hard at first, an h-like sound is an acceptable beginner approximation.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?

In present-tense Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted.

So instead of saying:

• The action is important

Hebrew simply says:

• הפעולה חשובה

When you add הזאת, you get:

• הפעולה הזאת חשובה = This action is important

This is completely normal Hebrew grammar.

Why does הזאת come after the noun instead of before it?
