Aramaic

Pronoun

את

1. you (singular)

---

Hebrew

Etymology 1

Preposition

אֵת, אֶת־ (et, et-)

1. Used to introduce a semantically definite direct object.
2. (archaic) To, with.

Usage notes

• (used to introduce a direct object): 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.

Inflection

• The two senses are inflected differently.
• Furthermore, the inflected forms of the otherwise archaic sense “to” or “with” are still used, but now belong to the (suppletive) preposition עִם (im, “with”).
