הכידון נמצא מעל הדוושה.

ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, equivalent to the in English.

So:

• כידון = a handlebar / handlebar
• הכידון = the handlebar

In this sentence, both nouns are definite:

• הכידון = the handlebar
• הדוושה = the pedal

That is why both words begin with ה־.

Hebrew often does not use a present-tense word for is/are in simple sentences. But when talking about location, Hebrew frequently uses נמצא / נמצאת / נמצאים / נמצאות, meaning something like:

• is located
• is situated
• is found

So הכידון נמצא מעל הדוושה literally feels like:

• The handlebar is located above the pedal

In natural English, that is usually just translated as The handlebar is above the pedal.

Because כידון is a masculine singular noun.

The form of נמצא changes to match the noun:

• נמצא = masculine singular
• נמצאת = feminine singular
• נמצאים = masculine plural
• נמצאות = feminine plural

Since הכידון is masculine singular, נמצא is the correct form.

Yes, דוושה is feminine.

One common clue is the ending ־ה. Many Hebrew feminine nouns end in ־ה or ־ת, although this is not a perfect rule.

So here:

• דוושה = feminine singular
• הדוושה = the pedal

Even though דוושה is feminine, that does not affect נמצא in this sentence, because נמצא agrees with הכידון, the thing being located.

מעל means above or over.

It is a preposition of location. In this sentence:

• מעל הדוושה = above the pedal

It describes where the handlebar is in relation to the pedal.

A useful comparison:

• על = on
• מעל = above / over

So מעל usually suggests something is higher than something else, not necessarily touching it.

Because after a preposition like מעל, Hebrew does not use את.

את marks a definite direct object, but הדוושה here is not a direct object. It is part of a prepositional phrase:

• מעל הדוושה = above the pedal

So this structure is:

• noun: הכידון
• verb/adjective-like form: נמצא
• prepositional phrase: מעל הדוושה

No את is needed.

Yes, but this is a very normal and clear order.

The basic pattern here is:

• subject + נמצא + location

So:

• הכידון = subject
• נמצא = is located
• מעל הדוושה = location

This is one of the most natural ways to describe where something is.

Hebrew can sometimes vary word order for style or emphasis, but for learners this sentence is a good standard model.

הכידון is pronounced approximately ha-ki-DON.

Breaking it down:

• ה = ha
• כידון = ki-DON

So together: ha-ki-DON

The ה־ simply adds the. In normal pronunciation, it attaches directly to the noun.

It is pronounced approximately:

• me-AL ha-du-SHA

So:

• מעל = me-AL
• הדוושה = ha-du-SHA

The ה־ again is just the definite article the, pronounced ha here.

Sometimes in modern Hebrew, especially in casual speech, people may omit a present-tense copula in some sentence types. But with location, נמצא is very common and natural.

So:

• הכידון מעל הדוושה might be understood in some contexts
• but הכידון נמצא מעל הדוושה sounds more complete and standard

For learners, using נמצא in location sentences is a very good habit.

No. מעל can be followed by either an indefinite or a definite noun, depending on meaning.

Examples:

• מעל דוושה = above a pedal
• מעל הדוושה = above the pedal

In your sentence, the noun is definite, so it appears as הדוושה.

נמצא comes from the root מ־צ־א, which is related to finding.

In many contexts:

• מצא = he found
• נמצא = was found / is found / is located

In everyday modern Hebrew, נמצא is often used in a location sense, even if English would simply say is:

• הספר נמצא על השולחן = The book is on the table
• literally: The book is found/located on the table

So understanding that connection can help you remember the word.
