Conjugation of to understand
so here's a verb with a different conjugation from the' lomed - lomedet' pattern:
'mevin  - mevinah' is another frequent pattern in the conjugation of the present tense.
The 'neutral' ending is the masculine one and the 'ah' as is quite often the case the feminine one.
'rotzeh - rotzah' (want) is quite similar and will appear soon.

Adjectives
th second adjective: le'at and immediately the word yoter used for adjective graduation. These things will be discussed more thouroughly later in this course. Please just accept this one example here for the time being.  


lo

lo means no and not. More examples will follow soon.
