The word &#x5D0;&#x5EA; serve as the marker of a definite direct object and has no corresponding particle in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why I like this saying so much. First of all, it is as an excellent example and attestation to the collective memory of the Jewish people. It references an event or a tale thousands of years old, and it employs the plural pronoun &#x2018;we&#x2019;. On top of that, it conveys optimism mixed with more than a hint of complaint, which at least for me is the essence of the Jewish spirit. By the way &#x2013; have you ever noticed the only difference between complaint and compliant is where you put the I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, the main reason I like this expression is much use and value it has for me as a Hebrew teacher, particularly for beginner students. It all comes down to the words &#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5E8;&#x5E0;&#x5D5; and &#x5E0;&#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5D5;&#x5E8; which are two conjugations of the same verb &#x2013; &#x5E2;&#x5B8;&#x5D1;&#x5B7;&#x5E8; (Avar) &#x2013; to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verb &#1506;&#1464;&#1489;&#1463;&#1512; (avar) is based on <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Binyan&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;The Hebrew word for &amp;#039;building&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;structure&amp;#039;.

By most basic I mean the leanest, as it primarily employs vowel changes to conjugate, and has no consonant-based prefixes or infixes as an integral part of the pattern. It is the root at its purest from and in this case the root is &#1506;-&#1489;-&#1512; (Ayn-Bet-Resh) which means to pass. This root is an essential part of the Hebrew language and culture as it is also the basis for the word &lsquo;Hebrew&rsquo; itself &ndash; &#1506;&#1460;&#1489;&#1456;&#1512;&#1460;&#1497;&#1514; (Ivrit). Just goes to show you we Hebrews went through so much &ndash; it is actually in our name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word &#1506;&#1464;&#1489;&#1463;&#1512;&#1456;&#1504;&#1493;&#1468; (avarnu &ndash; we passed) and &#1504;&#1463;&#1506;&#1458;&#1489;&#1493;&#1465;&#1512; (na&rsquo;avor &ndash; we will pass) is also a very simple and beginner friendly example of how Hebrew verbs express past and future. To say &ldquo;we passed&rdquo; we take the verb &#1506;&#1489;&#1512; and we add the suffix &#1504;&#1493; (which is also the final syllable of the words &#1488;&#1464;&#1504;&#1493;&#1468; and &#1488;&#1458;&#1504;&#1464;&#1495;&#1456;&#1504;&#1493;&#1468; meaning &lsquo;we&rsquo;), and to say &ldquo;we will pass&rdquo; we add the letter <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Nun&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.

When saying &#1504;&#1506;&#1489;&#1493;&#1512; (we will pass) the action of &#1506;-&#1489;-&#1512; is before the &#1504; and can be viewed as in the future, while when saying &#1506;&#1489;&#1512;&#1504;&#1493; (we passed) the core part of the verb is behind the &lsquo;we&rsquo; element. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is quite possible that in early development stages of Hebrew people use to say the pronoun and a fixed version of the verb separately. Meaning they said the pronoun after the verb to express completion or past tense (something like &#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5E8; &#x5D0;&#x5E0;&#x5D5; &#x2013; anu avar which gradually became &#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5E8;&#x5E0;&#x5D5;), and place the pronoun before the verb (saying something &#x5D0;&#x5E0;&#x5D5; &#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5E8; &#x2013; anu avar which gradually became &#x5E0;&#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5D5;&#x5E8;) to indicate the action hasn&#x2019;t occurred yet and it is still a head of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\">\n\n\n\n<p>The expression &#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5E8;&#x5E0;&#x5D5; &#x5D0;&#x5EA; &#x5E4;&#x5E8;&#x5E2;&#x5D4; &#x5E0;&#x5E2;&#x5D1;&#x5D5;&#x5E8; &#x5D2;&#x5DD; &#x5D0;&#x5EA; &#x5D6;&#x5D4; owes its revival and recognition in Modern Hebrew to one individual in particular &#x2013; Israeli iconic singer-songwriter <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Meir_Ariel\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Meir_Ariel\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meir Ariel<\/a>.
