פה

See also: פ״ה‎ and Appendix:Variations of "pe"

Hebrew

Pronunciation
  • Rhymes: -o

Etymology 1

Compare with Egyptian pj (“this”).

Adverb

פֹּה • (pó)

  1. 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 (literally leave from here) in five minutes.
    באתי לפה לפני שעה.‎ — batí l'fó lif'néi sha'á. — I came here (literally 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).
