פחות

פָּחוֹת • (pakhót)

1. Less, fewer.

• This determiner has only one form: it does not inflect for gender or number, and it is always indefinite.

• יותר‎ (yotér, “more”)

פָּחוֹת • (pakhót)

1. Less, less often, with less intensity, to a lesser extent.

• In Modern Hebrew, when פחות modifies a definite adjective, the ה־‎ (ha-, “[definiteness marker]”) attaches to it, rather than to the adjective itself.
• פחות is typically used in concert with the preposition מ־‎ (mi-, “from”) (with a simple noun or pronoun) or the conjunction מאשר‎ (me'ashér, “from what”) (with an infinitive, prepositional phrase, or clause). These serve the same role in Hebrew that than serves in English.

• יותר‎ (yotér, “more”)
