A natural broad transliteration is:
ha-glazura meshane et ha-markam shel kli / klei ha-kheres
A few notes:
- את here is pronounced et
- ח in החרס is the throaty kh sound, like Scottish loch or German Bach
- כלי is ambiguous in unpointed Hebrew:
- kli = singular
- klei = construct/plural form, depending on context
So the exact pronunciation of כלי depends on the meaning you were shown.
No. Here את is not the preposition with.
In this sentence, את is the direct object marker. Hebrew uses את before a definite direct object, usually one with ה־ or another definite form.
So in:
הגלזורה משנה את המרקם
המרקם is the definite direct object, so Hebrew marks it with את.
Important contrast:
- את = direct object marker
- אִתּ־ / עם = with
You usually do not translate this את into English as a separate word.
