בוררות יכולה לפתור את המחלוקת.

Because בוררות is a grammatically feminine noun in Hebrew, and יכול / יכולה agrees with the subject in gender and number.

• בוררות = feminine singular
• so: יכולה
• not: יכול

This is true even though arbitration is not a person. Hebrew nouns have grammatical gender, and other words often have to match it.

Here is the breakdown:

• בוררות — the subject, arbitration
• יכולה — can / is able to
• לפתור — to solve / resolve
• את — the marker of a definite direct object
• המחלוקת — the dispute / the disagreement

So the structure is basically:

[subject] + [can] + [infinitive] + [direct object marker] + [object]

Because יכולה + infinitive is the normal way to say can / is able to in the present.

• בוררות יכולה לפתור... = Arbitration can resolve...
• בוררות תוכל לפתור... = Arbitration will be able to resolve... or Arbitration can resolve... in a future context

So if the sentence is a general present statement, יכולה is the natural choice.

לפתור is the infinitive, meaning to solve / to resolve.

The prefix ל־ often marks the infinitive in Hebrew, like English to:

• לכתוב — to write
• ללמוד — to study
• לפתור — to solve

So יכולה לפתור literally means is able to solve.

את is the direct object marker. It usually appears before a definite direct object.

It does not have its own English equivalent in this sentence. It is a grammatical marker.

So:

• את המחלוקת = the dispute as a definite direct object

Compare:

• אני רואה את האיש — I see the man
• אני רואה איש — I see a man

In your sentence, המחלוקת is definite, so את is used.

The prefix ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, meaning the.

• מחלוקת — a dispute / disagreement
• המחלוקת — the dispute / the disagreement

Because the object is definite, Hebrew uses both:

• את
• and ה־

So:

• את המחלוקת = the dispute (as a direct object)

It can mean both. מחלוקת is a fairly broad word and can mean:

• disagreement
• dispute
• controversy

In this sentence, because the subject is בוררות (arbitration), it sounds more formal or legal, so dispute is a very natural translation.

A common transliteration is:

Borerut yekhola liftor et hamachloket.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• bo-re-RUT
• ye-kho-LA
• lif-TOR
• et
• ha-mach-LO-ket

A couple of notes:

• The kh/ch sound in יכולה and מחלוקת is the throaty Hebrew sound, not an English k.
• Stress is usually toward the end of these words.

Yes, בוררות is feminine.

One clue is the ending ־ות, which is very often feminine in Hebrew, especially in abstract nouns.

Examples:

• אפשרות — possibility
• אחריות — responsibility
• בוררות — arbitration

This does not mean every word ending in ־ות works exactly the same way, but as a learner, it is a very useful pattern to notice.

The sentence uses a very normal, neutral word order:

בוררות יכולה לפתור את המחלוקת
subject + can + infinitive + object

Hebrew can move parts around for emphasis, but that changes the feel.

For example:

• את המחלוקת בוררות יכולה לפתור — more emphasis on the dispute

That is possible, but the original sentence is the most straightforward and natural version for neutral statement style.

It can mean both, depending on context.

In many cases:

• יכול / יכולה + infinitive = can
• more literally = is able to

So here:

• בוררות יכולה לפתור את המחלוקת can be understood as
• Arbitration can resolve the dispute or more literally
• Arbitration is able to resolve the dispute

Usually, in a sentence like this, it expresses ability or possibility, not permission.

English can is ambiguous:

• You can leave now = you are able to leave / you have permission to leave

Hebrew יכול/יכולה normally points more to ability or possibility. For permission, Hebrew often uses other wording depending on context, such as מותר.

So in your sentence, יכולה definitely means something like can / is able to, not is allowed to.
