Hifil Structure
In general, verbs conjugated in HifEil structure, express s thought of causing an action.
Invite a person, consider (regard) a person, operate a machine, manipulate people, explain an issue, dress a child.
As the case in Piel structure, verbs conjugated in HifEil are prefixed by a
"Mem".
Differently however, the prefix in HifEil is voweled with "Patach".
Also in HifEil, (and this is the primary rule when vowels are not used) is that the second to the last letter in any HifEil conjugated form is a "Yod". In HifEil, this "Yod" gives the "Ayin Ha Poal" of the verb an "Ee" sound.
The "Yod" is part of the infinitive form of the verb and is located also, second to the last.
Infinitive form of HifEil is prefixed with a "Leh" and is followed by a
Numbers 11-100(M)
The masculine form of numbers from 11 to 100 reminds in its structure forms that have been already introduced (such as single digit[m] and 11 to 100 [f]) . A number of things to remember:
The single digit mart of a number 11-19(m), is pronounced similar to a number 1-9(m).
The addition "Asar" (equivalent to "teen") is not the same as "Eser"(10).
20, 30, 40...... (multiplication of 10) numbers are mutual for both genders.
