Questions & Answers about במתקן למיחזור טקסטיל יש פסולת טקסטיל.

What does במתקן mean, and why is the ב־ attached to the word?

ב־ is the preposition in / at, and in Hebrew short prepositions are usually attached directly to the following word.

So:

• מתקן = facility, installation, site
• במתקן = in a facility / at a facility

This is completely normal Hebrew spelling. You do not usually write the ב as a separate word here.

Does במתקן mean in a facility or in the facility?

In unpointed Hebrew text, במתקן can mean either one. The writing looks the same.

With vowels, the difference would be:

• בְּמִתְקָן = in a facility
• בַּמִּתְקָן = in the facility

In this sentence, the meaning is probably generic, so an English speaker will often understand it as in a textile-recycling facility. But context could make it definite.

What exactly does מתקן mean here? Is it the same as factory?
