Aramaic
Pronoun
אַתְּ • (ʾatt) m sg (plural אַתּוּן (ʾattūn), feminine אַתִּי (ʾattī) or אַתְּ (ʾatt), feminine plural אַתֵּין (ʾattēn))
- Alternative form of אַנְתְּ (ʾant)

Hebrew
Pronunciation
- (Modern Israeli Hebrew) IPA(key): /et/
- (Ashkenazi Hebrew) IPA(key): /eɪs/, /ɛs/
Preposition
אֵת, אֶת־ • (et, et-)
- Used to introduce a semantically definite direct object.
Usage notes
- In the event of a semantically indefinite direct object, את is simply dropped; no other preposition is used instead. Note that the choice to include or not include את is based on semantics rather than form; את is used when the direct object is a proper noun, or a personal pronoun (in which case it is incorporated into the form of את), or a noun phrase beginning with ה־ (ha-, “the”), or a noun phrase headed by a noun compound ending in one of these.
