Step 3 : The indefinite article in Hebrew

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Hebrew, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns séfer, kisé and délet (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Hebrew, because in Hebrew, there is no indefinite article. So the word séfer can mean book or a book, the word kisé can mean chair or a chair and the word délet can mean door or a door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the indefinite article in Hebrew including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Hebrew nouns séfer, kisé and délet, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Hebrew).
