Questions & Answers about היקף העבודה כולל הריסה ואינסטלציה.

What does היקף העבודה mean literally?

Literally, it means the scope of the work.

This is a very common Hebrew noun structure called a construct chain (סמיכות):

• היקף = scope / extent
• העבודה = the work

So instead of saying scope of the work, Hebrew simply puts the two nouns together: היקף העבודה.

Is the first ה in היקף the Hebrew word for the?

No. In היקף, that ה is part of the word itself.

• היקף = scope
• ההיקף = the scope when the word stands alone

But in a construct chain like היקף העבודה, the first noun normally does not take the definite article. The whole phrase becomes definite because the second noun is definite: העבודה = the work.

So:

• היקף עבודה = scope of work / a work scope
• היקף העבודה = the scope of the work

Why doesn’t Hebrew use של here, like היקף של העבודה?
