Prepositions

Hebrew prepositions come in two kinds: tiny one-letter prefixes that glue onto the next word (בְּ, לְ, מִ), and standalone words (עַל, עִם, אֶל, שֶׁל).

Prefix Prepositions: בְּ, לְ, מִ

בְּ = in/at, לְ = to/for, מִ = from. They attach directly to the word.

Standalone Prepositions

These stay separate words, just like in English.

Prepositions + Pronoun Endings

Prepositions absorb pronouns as endings — 'to me' is one word.
