The smallest words in Hebrew have 2 letters. You can't have a one-letter word in Hebrew, like you can in English. There are hundreds of two-letter words in Hebrew, including:

  1. כן
  2. לא
  3. מה
  4. יש
  5. חן
  6. בא
  7. גר
  8. שב
  9. שם

WHAT IS THE longest hebrew word?

The longest Hebrew word is 20 letters: וכשלאנציקלופדיותינו - ukhsheleʾentsiklopediotéinu, which means: "and when to our encyclopedias" It's just the Hebrew word for "encyclopedias" with prefixes and suffixes. It's a bit of a stretch, since it's not common to add possesive suffixes to a foreign word. The 11-letter word "וְהָאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנִים" ("and the satraps") is the longest word to appear in the Hebrew Bible.
