אני לא רוצה לסבול.

A common pronunciation is:

ani lo rotze lיסbol if a man is speaking
ani lo rotza lisbol if a woman is speaking

More carefully:

• אני = a-NI
• לא = lo
• רוצה / רוצה = ROT-zeh (masculine) or ROT-zah (feminine)
• לסבול = lis-BOL

In normal Israeli speech, the stress usually falls like this:

• aNI
• LO
• roTZE / roTZA
• lisBOL

Yes. רוצה is a present-tense form that agrees with the speaker’s gender.

• A man says: אני לא רוצה לסבול
• A woman says: אני לא רוצה לסבול

Without vowel marks, both are written the same: רוצה.
The difference is in pronunciation:

• masculine: rotze
• feminine: rotza

This is very common in Hebrew: the spelling can stay the same while the pronunciation changes slightly depending on gender.

אני means I.

Hebrew verbs often show person, gender, and number, so subject pronouns are sometimes omitted. But in this sentence, רוצה by itself only tells you want in the present tense and gender/number, not always clearly enough to make the subject feel complete in all contexts.

So:

• אני לא רוצה לסבול = I don’t want to suffer
• לא רוצה לסבול can also be heard in conversation and means something like don’t want to suffer, with I understood from context

In everyday spoken Hebrew, dropping אני is possible, especially in informal speech, but keeping it is very normal and clear.

לא is the standard Hebrew word for not.

In Hebrew, when you negate a verb in a sentence like this, לא usually comes directly before the verb or verbal element being negated:

• אני רוצה = I want
• אני לא רוצה = I do not want / I don’t want

So לא רוצה is simply do not want.

לסבול is the infinitive, meaning to suffer.

The ל־ at the beginning is the normal marker used for many Hebrew infinitives, similar to English to:

• לכתוב = to write
• לאכול = to eat
• לסבול = to suffer

So the structure is:

• רוצה = want
• לסבול = to suffer

Together: want to suffer.

Historically and grammatically, ל־ is the same basic letter as the preposition to / for, but in infinitives it functions as part of the infinitive form.

So in a sentence like this, you should understand לסבול as one unit meaning to suffer, not as to + separate word in the way English learners might first imagine.

In other words:

• לסבול = infinitive verb = to suffer

You do not translate it piece by piece in a strict mechanical way.

The root is usually given as ס־ב־ל.

This root is connected with ideas of:

• suffering
• enduring
• bearing a burden

From the same root, you may see related words in different patterns. Hebrew often builds families of words from a three-consonant root, and סבל is the core here.

Pretty much, yes.

Hebrew:

• אני = I
• לא = not
• רוצה = want
• לסבול = to suffer

So the order is: I + not + want + to suffer

That is very close to English I do not want to suffer, except that Hebrew does not need an extra helping verb like do.

English uses:

• I do not want

Hebrew simply uses:

• אני לא רוצה

Because Hebrew forms negation differently.

In English, present simple negation usually needs do/does:

• I want
• I do not want

In Hebrew, you just put לא before the verb:

• אני רוצה
• אני לא רוצה

So there is no separate equivalent of English do here.

Yes, לסבול can cover both, depending on context.

It may refer to:

• physical suffering
• emotional suffering
• hardship in general
• enduring an unpleasant situation

So אני לא רוצה לסבול can sound broad:

• I don’t want to suffer
• I don’t want to go through pain
• I don’t want to endure this

The exact nuance depends on the situation.

It is neutral and completely natural in both speech and writing.

It is not slang, and it is not especially formal either.
You could use it in:

• everyday conversation
• a serious emotional statement
• writing
• subtitles
• therapy or medical contexts, depending on what kind of suffering is meant

The infinitive לסבול stays the same, but רוצה changes with the subject.

Examples:

• אני לא רוצה לסבול = I don’t want to suffer (male speaker)
• אני לא רוצה לסבול = I don’t want to suffer (female speaker; same spelling, different pronunciation)
• הוא לא רוצה לסבול = He doesn’t want to suffer
• היא לא רוצה לסבול = She doesn’t want to suffer
• אנחנו לא רוצים לסבול = We don’t want to suffer
• הם לא רוצים לסבול = They don’t want to suffer (masculine or mixed group)
• הן לא רוצות לסבול = They don’t want to suffer (feminine group)

So the main change is in the form of want.

Yes, depending on the exact meaning.

For example:

• אני לא רוצה לכאוב is not natural for I don’t want to suffer; כאב is more about pain itself, and this phrasing is less idiomatic
• אני לא רוצה לעבור את זה = I don’t want to go through this
• אני לא רוצה להיפגע = I don’t want to get hurt
• אני לא רוצה לסבול יותר = I don’t want to suffer anymore

So לסבול is a good direct choice, but Hebrew may choose a different expression depending on whether the suffering is physical, emotional, or situational.
