Questions & Answers about התוכנית הקיימת ברורה.

Why is there no separate word for is in this sentence?

In present-tense Hebrew, you usually do not use a separate word for is / am / are.

So:

• התוכנית הקיימת ברורה literally looks like:
• the-plan existing clear

But in natural English it means:

• The existing plan is clear.

This is very normal in Hebrew. A form of to be is often omitted in the present tense.

Why does הקיימת also have ה־? Why not just תוכנית קיימת?

Because הקיימת is an adjective describing a definite noun.

In Hebrew, when an adjective comes after a noun and describes it directly, the adjective usually matches the noun in:

• gender
• number
• definiteness

So:

• תוכנית קיימת = an existing plan
• התוכנית הקיימת = the existing plan

Both words take ה־ because the whole noun phrase is definite.
