דְּפוּס הִתְנַהֲגוּת
Check out our spring and summer courses
Efrat, Ramat Beit Shemesh and Tzfat
The other day, we saw that the Modern Hebrew word for printing is דְּפוּס (deh-FOOS), which also can mean pattern.
Yesterday, we saw that behavior, in Hebrew, is הִתְנַהֲגוּת (heet-nah-hah-GOOT).
A pattern of behavior is a דְּפוּס הִתְנַהֲגוּת (deh-FOOS heet-nah-hah-GOOT).
Since this phrase is comprised of two words connected in an "of relationship" - the construct state or סְמִיכוּת (smee-KHOOT) - the plural will appear in the first word, but not the last.
For example, behavior patterns are דְּפוּסֵי התנהגות (deh-foo-SEH-ee heet-nah-hah-GOOT), as in נִתַּן לְהַבְחִין דפוסי התנהגות בַּדּוֹלְפִיניִם - one can (it is given to) distinguish behavior patterns in the dolphins (nee-TAHN leh-hahv-KHEEN deh-foo-SEH-ee heet-nah-hah-GOOT bah-dohl-FEE-neem).
