how to say “these” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

אֵלֶּה, אֵלּוּ

The basic word for these is אלה
, as in:

אלה המשקפיים שאיבדתי!

These are the glasses I lost!

and

את באמת רוצה לקנות את אלה?

Do you (a female) really want to buy these?

There’s also אלו
, which people tend to use in order to sound smart. It’s used in exactly the same way as אלה.

These things are הדברים האלה
(or הדברים האלו
). For a full explanation of when to use ה and when not with אלה, watch today’s video.
