Usage notes
- In Modern Hebrew, when the numbers three through ten modify a definite masculine noun and are directly preceding it, the construct form is used:
- תִּשְׁעָה סְפָרִים ― tish'á s'farím ― nine books
- תִּשְׁעַת הַסְּפָרִים ― tish'át has'farím ― the nine books
- The construct form is not used for higher numbers ending in nine, such as twenty-nine:
- עֶשְׂרִים וְתִשְׁעָה הַסְּפָרִים ― 'esrím v'tish'á has'farím ― the twenty-nine books
- In colloquial Modern Hebrew, the form תֵּשַׁע (tésha') is often used regardless of gender.
