מְכוֹנַת צִילּוּם
The Hebrew word for
to copy
is להעתיק
, a
הפעיל verb
. Nevertheless, a copy machine is מכונת צילום
– literally, a
photography
machine
(or photocopier).
In context:
הנייר תמיד נתקע במכונת הצילום שלנו.
The paper always gets stuck in our copy machine.
This phrase מכונת צילום
takes the word מכונה
– machine – and turns the ה
into a ת
, because this is a “machine of photography.” The ה
becoming a ת
expresses this “of” relationship, which in Hebrew we call סמיכות
(“juxtaposition,” or the construct state).
