Questions & Answers about אני לא רוצה לסבול.
How do you pronounce 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
Why is רוצה written this way? Does it change for men and women?
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.
