Breakdown of התלמיד שואל עוד שאלה, כי הוא לא מבין את התשובה.
Questions & Answers about התלמיד שואל עוד שאלה, כי הוא לא מבין את התשובה.
Because the prefix ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, equivalent to the in English.
- תלמיד = student
- התלמיד = the student
Hebrew attaches ה־ directly to the beginning of the noun instead of writing a separate word.
Hebrew normally does not use an indefinite article. English distinguishes between a question and the question, but Hebrew usually leaves the indefinite form unmarked.
So:
- שאלה = question / a question
- התשובה = the answer
In עוד שאלה, the noun שאלה has no ה־, so it is indefinite: another question or one more question.
