חלק ממנו לא ברור לי.

Here חלק means part or some part.

So חלק ממנו means part of it or part of him, depending on what ממנו refers to.

In natural English, this whole phrase is often translated as part of it or some of it.

Yes, ממנו literally comes from the preposition מן / מ־ meaning from, plus a pronoun suffix.

But in Hebrew, מן is also often used in expressions that mean of in English, especially after words like חלק.

So:

• חלק ממנו = part of it / part of him
• literally, something like a part from it/him

This is completely normal Hebrew usage.

Yes.

Hebrew does not have a separate everyday word for it the way English does. Instead, it uses the regular third-person pronouns based on grammatical gender.

So ממנו can refer to:

• him
• it for a masculine noun

If the thing referred to were feminine, Hebrew would usually use ממנה.

For example:

• הספר is masculine, so: חלק ממנו
• הכתבה is feminine, so: חלק ממנה

Because Hebrew often expresses this idea with ברור ל־ = clear to ...

So instead of saying:

• I don’t understand part of it

Hebrew very naturally says:

• Part of it is not clear to me

That is exactly what חלק ממנו לא ברור לי does.

A speaker could also say something with מבין or מבינה, but לא ברור לי is extremely common and natural.

ברור means clear.

לי means to me.

So ברור לי literally means clear to me.

This pattern is very common in Hebrew:

• ברור לי = clear to me
• קשה לי = difficult for me
• חשוב לי = important to me
• מותר לי = allowed for me / I’m allowed

So in this sentence:

• לא ברור לי = is not clear to me

Because that is a very natural Hebrew word order.

The sentence is built like this:

• חלק ממנו = part of it
• לא ברור = is not clear
• לי = to me

So literally:

• Part of it not clear to me

Hebrew often places the ל־ phrase, like לי, after the adjective or predicate.

You could sometimes move things around for emphasis, but חלק ממנו לא ברור לי is a very normal, neutral order.

Because it agrees with חלק.

חלק is a masculine singular noun, so the adjective/predicate is also masculine singular:

• חלק ... ברור

If the subject were feminine singular, you would usually get ברורה. If it were masculine plural, you would get ברורים. If it were feminine plural, you would get ברורות.

For example:

• הנקודה הזאת לא ברורה לי = this point is not clear to me
• החלקים האלה לא ברורים לי = these parts are not clear to me

Yes.

In present-tense Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted.

So:

• חלק ממנו לא ברור לי

literally looks like:

• Part of it not clear to me

But in English, we must say:

• Part of it is not clear to me

So the idea of is is understood, even though no separate word appears in Hebrew.

Yes, very often.

Even though חלק literally means part, in many contexts חלק ממנו is very naturally understood in English as some of it.

So depending on context, good translations could include:

• Part of it isn’t clear to me
• Some of it isn’t clear to me

Both can fit.

Sometimes yes, but it is not exactly the same.

• ממנו refers back to a specific masculine noun already mentioned
• מזה means from this / of this / of that, depending on context, and feels more like this or that

So if the sentence is referring back to a previously mentioned masculine noun, ממנו is usually the better choice.

Use מזה when you specifically mean something like from this or of this rather than simply referring back with a pronoun.

A common pronunciation is:

chélek miménu lo barúr li

Approximate stress:

• חֵלֶק → chélek
• מִמֶּנּוּ → miménu
• לֹא → lo
• בָּרוּר → barúr
• לִי → li

The main stress falls near the end of ממנו and ברור.
