هي تفرز الملابس.

هي is the third-person feminine singular pronoun. In English, that usually means she.

It can also mean it when referring to a grammatically feminine noun, but in this sentence, if the meaning shown is about a female person, it means she.

In Arabic, present/imperfect verbs usually begin with a prefix that shows the subject.

Here, تـ is the prefix used for forms such as:

• she
• you masculine singular

So by itself, تفرز could potentially mean she sorts or you sort. The pronoun هي removes any doubt and makes it clearly she.

Yes. The verb form already tells you the subject is third-person feminine singular, so تفرز الملابس can already mean she sorts the clothes.

Adding هي can:

• make the subject more explicit
• add emphasis or contrast, like she sorts the clothes
• help clarity in simple learning examples

So هي is not always necessary, but it is perfectly normal.

It is in the imperfect form, which often corresponds to the present tense in English.

Depending on context, it can mean things like:

• she sorts the clothes
• she is sorting the clothes
• she sorts clothes regularly

Arabic does not always separate simple present and present continuous the way English does.

Its root is ف ر ز, which carries the idea of sorting or separating.

The basic past-tense dictionary form is فَرَزَ, meaning to sort / to separate.

So تفرز is the present/imperfect form built from that verb.

الملابس means clothes or clothing.

It has the definite article الـ, so literally it is the clothes. In actual translation, English may say:

• the clothes
• clothes
• sometimes clothing

The most natural English choice depends on context.

Because Arabic and English do not always use definiteness in exactly the same way.

So although الملابس literally includes the, an English translation may sometimes choose clothes instead of the clothes if that sounds more natural in context.

A very literal translation is She sorts the clothes.

Yes, Arabic word order is more flexible than English.

For example:

• هي تفرز الملابس = She sorts the clothes
• تفرز الملابس = also She sorts the clothes

Since the verb already shows the subject, the pronoun can be omitted. Starting with هي often makes the subject more explicit or a bit more emphasized.

That is a very normal issue in Arabic.

Most Arabic texts leave out short vowels, so readers rely on:

• context
• knowledge of the word
• vowel marks in textbooks or dictionaries

For this sentence, هي is read hiya, and الملابس is read roughly al-malābis. The exact short vowels in تفرز are normally learned from the verb itself, not from the bare spelling alone.

Yes. Arabic pronouns reflect grammatical gender, not just natural gender.

So هي can mean:

• she for a feminine person
• it for a feminine noun

In this sentence, the correct translation depends on what the subject refers to. If it refers to a woman or girl, then هي means she.

In fully pronounced formal MSA, yes: the words can take grammatical endings, especially the direct object.

But in normal Arabic writing, these endings are usually not shown, so learners commonly see the sentence simply as:

هي تفرز الملابس

That is completely standard.
