turns/over/into-(ל-)I've been adding meanings from Pealim if they have them. Why not learn as much as possible, but then I think if people type the answers that might be tricky. The ל at the end indicates that the preposition should be used with the word. Only way I could get it to go to the end of the phrase was with the extra dash.
Is there a limit on the phrase size for definitions. Occasionally Pealim has a long one. I'm not actively looking for phrases, just picking them up as I check words.
I have a question - when is a preposition a conjunction. I usually assume conjunctions are when you join a letter and a word or a word to a word. A phrase is when words are separated by a space. But by this definition - most prepositions are conjunctions?
In Hebrew when you touch someone, you touch in someone. So then you'll use the preposition ב with the next word. Yes, in Hebrew most prepositions are "conjunctions". However technically since Hebrew uses single letters for a lot of words you need to learn what those words are to know what part of speech they are.
