Questions & Answers about כשהכביש הזה מלא, קשה למצוא חניה ליד הבנק.
What does כשה mean here, and how is it built?
כשה means when here.
It is made from כש־ + the following word:
- כש־ = when / as / whenever
- הכביש = the road
So:
- כשהכביש הזה מלא = when this road is full
In normal writing, Hebrew often attaches כש־ directly to the next word.
Why is it הכביש הזה and not הזה הכביש?
In Hebrew, זה / זאת / אלה usually come after the noun they describe.
So:
- הכביש הזה = this road
- literally: the-road this
This is a very normal Hebrew pattern:
- הספר הזה = this book
- הבית הזה = this house
Why does Hebrew say הכביש הזה מלא? Can a road really be full?
