Hebrew
Pronunciation
- Rhymes: -o
Etymology 1
Compare with Egyptian pj (“this”).
Adverb
פֹּה • (pó)
- here, this place, at this place, in this place
- אתה גר פה? ― atá gar pó? ― Do you live here? (addressing a man)
- נצא מפה בעוד חמש דקות. ― netzé mipó b'ód khamésh dakót. ― We'll set out in five minutes. (literally, “We'll leave from here in five minutes.”)
- באתי לפה לפני שעה. ― batí l'fó lif'né sha'á. ― I came here an hour ago. (literally, “I came to here an hour ago.”)
Usage notes
- Unlike English here, Hebrew פֹּה is not used by itself to mean “to this place”; for that, the preposition לְ־ (l'-, “to”) must be added (as in the third example above).
Derived terms
- אֵיפֹה (efó)
