Questions & Answers about היעד הבא שלנו הוא כפר קטן ליד הים, לא עיר גדולה.
Why do both היעד and הבא have ה־?
Because the noun phrase is definite: the next destination.
In Hebrew, when a noun is definite, an adjective describing it is usually definite too. So:
- יעד הבא = not correct
- היעד הבא = the next destination
This is a very common Hebrew pattern:
- הבית הגדול = the big house
- הספר החדש = the new book
Why is הבא after היעד instead of before it?
In Hebrew, adjectives usually come after the noun, not before it.
So:
- היעד הבא = literally the destination next
- כפר קטן = a small village
- עיר גדולה = a big city
This is different from English, where adjectives usually come first.
