↑ The form אנוכי \ אָנֹכִי ‎(anokhí) occurs many times in the Hebrew Bible, but is basically obsolete today. ↑ In Modern Israeli Hebrew, the form אָנוּ ‎(ánu, “we”) is the more formal, אֲנָחנוּ ‎(anákhnu) the more colloquial. 1 2 In colloquial Modern Israeli Hebrew, the nominally masculine forms אַתֶּם ‎(atém) and הֵם ‎(hem) are sometimes taken as gender-neutral and substituted for אַתֶּן ‎(atén) and הֵן ‎(hen), this is sometimes considered incorrect.
