"We take the carrot from them."

Translation: אנחנו לוקחים מהם את הגזר.

[devoraw]

Why isn't אנחנו לוקחים הגזר מהם acceptable?

[CAA15]

For one, you need the indirect object first the direct object in Hebrew, or so it seems from what I have seen (אני נותן לו את הכריך instead of אני נותן את הכריך לו).

Secondly, you are missing the את.

[CAA15]

What is that part "from them" called grammatically?

[AlmogL]

It's a preposition + pronoun contracted.

[srh1056]

For "from them" when do we use מהם and when do we use ממנם? Or is the latter even a word?

[Art3mis_SRS]

מהם, I dont think the second one is a word

[Roland_G]

I thought לוקחים is an infinitive that means " to take"

[JasonFries2]

I believe the infinitive would be ללקוח.

[tamarw]

No it's לקחת.

[RivkaRosen]

This sounds like a nursery chant.
