Grammatical nature of the word

Hi, and apologies for speaking English.

Is there a way to define correctly the grammatical nature of this word?

I would like to know if we can consider it as a verb, a noun, etc.

It seems difficult because it's a racine, but is it correct to define the grammatical nature of this word as an infinitive, by instance?

Sorry for the late response.

What is the problem defining "אָרַר" as verb in בִּנְיָן פָּעַל? As in the sentence:

"הַיֶּלֶד אָרַר אֶת שְׁכֵנוֹ"

What do you mean by "racine"? The grammatical root of the word? If so, the root of this verb is א־ר־ר.

If I didn't answer your question, please try to explain it to me. כחלון (שיחה) 00:31, 26 באוגוסט 2013 (IDT)

Thanks for your answer.

I would like root and not "racine", in effect.

But אָרַר is it not the conjugated form of the verb? I mean, the basic form of the verb is not with a ל?

In other words, what the difference between אָכֹל and אָכַל, for example? Thanks by advance, Automatik (שיחה) 20:26, 3 בספטמבר 2013 (IDT)

Sorry for the very late response. I haven't been around here for a while. You mentioned 3 different forms/inflections of the root:

1. אָרַר like אָכַל, אָהַב, שָׁתַה, קָנָה is the past tense in 3rd person. e.g.: אָכַל = ate, אָהַב=loved
2. לֶאֱכֹל like לֶאֱהֹב, לִשְתוֹת, לִקְנוֹת is the (inflected) infinitive. e.g.: לֶאֱכֹל = to eat, לֶאֱהֹב = to love. In Hebrew it's called "מקור נטוי" or "שם הפועל".
3. אָרֹר like אָכֹל, אָהֹב, שָׁתֹה, קָנֹה is the non-inflected infinitive. That is a rare form, and hardly appears in the spoken language, but only in ancient texts and "frozen" idioms. I don't think it can be translated to English, since the infinitive in English can't be inflected.

I hope this answers you question. Please let me know. Sorry again for the late response. כחלון (שיחה) 09:22, 4 באוקטובר 2013 (IDT)
