לכל אדם יש זכות לבחור.

A fully vocalized version is:

לְכָל אָדָם יֵשׁ זְכוּת לִבְחוֹר.

A natural pronunciation is roughly:

le-KHOL a-DAM yesh zKHUT liv-KHOR

A few notes:

• כָל sounds like khol, not like English call
• אָדָם here means person / human being, not necessarily the name Adam
• זכות is pronounced zkhut, with a strong kh sound
• לבחור is livkhor, from the root בחר (to choose)

לכל is made of two parts:

• ל־ = to / for
• כל = every / all

So לכל means to every or for every.

Hebrew often attaches short prepositions directly to the following word. So instead of writing them separately, Hebrew writes:

• ל + כל = לכל

This is very common in Hebrew.

Hebrew often expresses every person has... with a structure that is more literally:

To every person, there is...

So:

• לכל אדם = to every person
• יש = there is / there exists
• זכות = a right

Literally, the sentence is close to:

To every person there is a right to choose.

This is a very natural Hebrew way to express possession or entitlement.

Here, אדם means person, human being, or individual.

In this sentence it is singular, but it is used in a generic sense, like English every person.

So לכל אדם means:

• to every person
• for each person
• every human being

Even though אדם can also be the proper name Adam, here it is clearly just the common noun person.

Because the sentence is speaking in a general way, not about a specific person or a specific right.

Compare:

• אדם = a person / a human being / person in general
• האדם = the person / the human being

And:

• זכות = a right
• הזכות = the right

In general statements like this, Hebrew often uses an unmarked noun without ה־.

יש means there is / there are.

But in Hebrew, יש is also used very often to express having.

For example:

• יש לי ספר = literally There is to me a book = I have a book
• לכל אדם יש זכות = literally To every person there is a right = Every person has a right

So יש is one of the key Hebrew words used to express existence and possession.

Because standard Hebrew usually does not use a regular verb for to have in the present tense the way English does.

Instead, it uses this pattern:

• ל־ + person + יש + thing

So:

• לי יש = I have
• לך יש = you have
• לכל אדם יש = every person has

This is one of the most important structural differences between English and Hebrew.

זכות means right, as in a moral, legal, or human right.

So in this sentence, it means that a person is entitled to choose.

A few useful related points:

• זכות is a feminine noun
• It can mean right in the sense of entitlement, not right as opposed to left
• For right opposite left, Hebrew uses ימין

Examples:

• זכות הדיבור = the right to speak
• זכויות אדם = human rights

Because after זכות (right), Hebrew commonly uses ל־ + infinitive to express the right to do something.

So:

• זכות לבחור = the right to choose
• זכות לדבר = the right to speak
• זכות לחיות = the right to live

This works very much like English the right to choose, except Hebrew marks the infinitive with ל־.

לבחור means to choose.

It comes from the root:

ב־ח־ר

This root is connected with choosing or selecting.

Some related forms:

• בוחר = chooses / choosing or voter depending on context
• בחר = he chose
• לבחור = to choose

So זכות לבחור is literally a right to choose.

Because the basic Hebrew infinitive is often formed with a prefixed ל־, which usually corresponds to English to.

So:

• לבחור = to choose
• לדבר = to speak
• לכתוב = to write

That means the ל in לבחור is not the same kind of ל as in לכל אדם.

• In לכל אדם, the ל means to/for
• In לבחור, the ל is part of the infinitive form to choose

They look the same, but their grammatical roles are different.

Yes, that word order is possible.

Hebrew word order is somewhat flexible, and both of these are natural:

• לכל אדם יש זכות לבחור
• יש לכל אדם זכות לבחור

The version you have, לכל אדם יש..., puts a little more focus on every person right at the start.

So it feels like:

As for every person, there is a right to choose.

It is a very natural and slightly emphatic way to phrase a general principle.

It is singular in form but general in meaning.

• אדם is singular: person
• לכל אדם means to every person

English does the same thing:

• Every person has rights
• Each student must choose

So even though the noun is singular, the meaning applies to all individuals one by one.

Yes. כל אדם means every person or each person.

But in this sentence, Hebrew uses לכל אדם because the structure with יש requires the idea to every person:

• כל אדם זכאי לבחור = every person is entitled to choose
• לכל אדם יש זכות לבחור = every person has the right to choose

Both are good Hebrew, but they use different grammar.

It is natural Hebrew, but it sounds somewhat formal or principled, because it talks about a general right.

You might hear it in:

• discussions of law
• ethics
• politics
• education
• human rights

In very casual speech, people might say something similar in a simpler way depending on context, but this sentence itself is perfectly normal and idiomatic.

Yes. It is a very common Hebrew pattern:

• זכות + infinitive

This means the right to do something.

For example:

• זכות לדעת = the right to know
• זכות להצביע = the right to vote
• זכות לבחור = the right to choose

So this sentence is useful not only on its own, but also as a model for many similar sentences.

To negate יש, Hebrew normally uses אין.

So:

• לכל אדם יש זכות לבחור = Every person has the right to choose
• לכל אדם אין זכות לבחור = Not every person has the right to choose / Every person does not have the right to choose depending on context

However, be careful: in English, negation can be ambiguous. In Hebrew too, context matters.

If you want to say clearly no person has the right to choose, you would usually say something more explicit, such as:

• לאף אדם אין זכות לבחור

That means:

No person has the right to choose.

Sometimes, yes, but the tone changes.

• אדם = more neutral, general, and suitable for formal statements
• בן אדם = often more conversational and everyday

So for a principled statement like this, אדם is the better choice:

• לכל אדם יש זכות לבחור

Using בן אדם here would sound less formal and less elegant.
