Particle Demonstrative
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Demonstrative particles are used to draw attention to the reader or the
|
|
listener.

|
Hebrew only has a few demonstrative particles, the two most common ones
|
|
are הִנֵּה and הֵ֣ן. This particle can be preceded by a conjunction.
|
|
While הִנֵּה and הֵ֣ן are often translated, the function of a
|
|
demonstrative particle is to draw attention to what comes immediately
|
|
after it. Because the purpose of this particle is often to draw the
|
|
attention of the reader to the following word, the particle itself can
|
|
often be left untranslated. This is similar to the :ref:`particle_direct_object_marker`
|
|
in the sense that the point of a demonstrative particle is often its
|
|
function and not necessarily its translation value.
