Relative Pronoun

A relative pronoun is a DMW; i.e. it introduces a dependent clause. Who, whom, which, that, what and whose are the relative pronouns. more A relative pronoun is one of the two kinds of DMWs. When the DMW is a relative pronoun, it indicates that the dependent clause is most likely adjectival.

Greek:

In Greek, the relative pronoun is declined for number, case, and gender. It is distinguished from the article by reason of the fact that it always has a rough breathing mark which the article usually does not. Study chapter 14 in BBG. Here is the complete paradigm:

Hebrew:

The word אֲשֶׁר is the relative pronoun in Hebrew; see page 8 here or this video. It usually follows the noun it modifies and introduces a relative clause. Its translation depends on the noun:

• if the noun is a place, it means “where”

• if the noun is a person, it means “who” or "whom"

• if the noun is an object, it means “that” “what” or “which”

In relative clauses, you will sometimes see a pronoun that refers back to the אֲשֶׁר. video or KHW 22.8a
