Questions & Answers about הפרווה נקייה.
How do you pronounce הפרווה נקייה?
A natural pronunciation is ha-par-vá ne-ki-yá.
- הפרווה = ha-parvá
- נקייה = nekiyá
The stress is on the last syllable of both words.
Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
In Hebrew, present-tense sentences like X is Y often do not use a separate word for is.
So:
- הפרווה נקייה = The fur is clean
This is very normal Hebrew.
If you wanted past or future, you would usually use forms of להיות (to be), for example:
- הפרווה הייתה נקייה = The fur was clean
- הפרווה תהיה נקייה = The fur will be clean
Why is it נקייה and not נקי?
