Hebrew as a language has been described as analytical, however, the formation of verbs has been influenced by inflection. Regarding syntax, a sentence must contain a subject and one predicate -- verbs and complements are usually included, but not required. Hebrew has special present-tense structures. The verb "to be" cannot be expressed in the present tense. Regarding sentences with verbs, Hebrew contains a subject-verb-object order like that of English. In general, Hebrew nouns are met with a preposition. Its sentence types could be broken down into three categories: simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences. Verbs, too, is constructed differently from that of English. Hebrew verbs are fitted with buildings or constructions with roots as an infinitive.
On an empirical side, I know that Israelis love to use their bodies when they communicate. One example is the use of there hands. If one were to clench their hands such that their thumb rests on the inside of the middle finger, this means "wait." This technique is usually done within the context of frustration or extreme directness.
