אנחנו ממשיכים ללכת כאילו אין מבוי סתום.

Yes. Hebrew often allows the subject pronoun to be omitted, because the verb already shows person and number.

So both of these are possible:

• אנחנו ממשיכים ללכת...
• ממשיכים ללכת...

Including אנחנו makes the subject more explicit. It can sound a bit clearer, more emphatic, or more natural depending on context. In everyday Hebrew, dropping it is very common.

ממשיכים comes from the verb להמשיך, which means to continue.

In this sentence, ממשיכים is the present tense, masculine plural form, agreeing with אנחנו when the speakers are a group that is masculine or mixed-gender.

So:

• אני ממשיך / ממשיכה = I continue
• אנחנו ממשיכים = we continue

In this sentence, it works like we keep on or we continue.

Because להמשיך is often followed by another verb in the infinitive to say continue doing something.

So:

• ממשיכים ללכת = continue walking
• ממשיכים לדבר = continue talking
• ממשיכים לעבוד = continue working

The ל־ on ללכת is the normal infinitive marker, like to in English.

Because the infinitive of הלך is ללכת.

One ל is the infinitive marker, and the root itself begins in a way that gives this standard form. So although it may look unusual at first, ללכת is just the normal dictionary form meaning to go / to walk.

This happens with a number of common Hebrew infinitives, and it is something learners usually just get used to recognizing.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Hebrew ללכת often covers both to go and to walk. In this sentence, either interpretation may work depending on the wider context:

• literal movement: we keep walking
• broader motion/progress: we keep going

So the verb is a little broader than English walk alone.

כאילו means as if or sometimes like.

Here it introduces a comparison or attitude:

• כאילו אין מבוי סתום = as if there is no dead end

So the sentence describes continuing to walk while behaving as though no obstacle exists.

In spoken Hebrew, כאילו is also very common as a filler word, somewhat like like in English, but that is not what it is doing here. Here it has its full grammatical meaning: as if.

Because אין is the normal Hebrew way to say there is no / there are no / there isn’t / there aren’t.

So:

• אין מבוי סתום = there is no dead end

By contrast, לא is used to negate verbs and many other sentence elements:

• אנחנו לא הולכים = we are not going / walking

So in this sentence:

• אין negates existence
• לא would not be the natural choice here

It is a two-word expression:

• מבוי = alley, passage, lane
• סתום = blocked, closed, sealed

Together, מבוי סתום means dead end.

It can be used:

1. Literally
   a street or passage that does not continue

2. Figuratively
   a situation with no way forward

So this phrase is very common and useful beyond just physical streets.

Because מבוי is a masculine noun, so the adjective must agree with it.

• מבוי סתום = masculine singular
• if the noun were feminine, the adjective would usually be feminine too

Hebrew adjectives agree with nouns in:

• gender
• number
• definiteness

So סתום matches מבוי correctly.

Yes, it is built with Hebrew present tense, but present tense in Hebrew can often express an ongoing action, similar to English are continuing or keep continuing depending on context.

So אנחנו ממשיכים ללכת can feel like:

• we continue walking
• we are continuing to walk
• we keep walking

Hebrew present tense is often more flexible than English tense labels suggest.

Hebrew word order is flexible, but the original order is the most natural neutral one:

• אנחנו ממשיכים ללכת כאילו אין מבוי סתום.

Putting כאילו אין מבוי סתום first is possible in some contexts, but it sounds more marked or literary, and it changes the flow of emphasis.

For most learners, the safest pattern is:

• main clause first
• כאילו clause after it

Yes. The present tense verb would change to the feminine plural form:

• אנחנו ממשיכות ללכת כאילו אין מבוי סתום.

So:

• ממשיכים = masculine plural / mixed group
• ממשיכות = feminine plural

This is standard agreement in Hebrew present tense.

Not naturally in this sentence.

כאילו is the right word for as if.

כמו ש־ means like / the way that, but it usually does not replace as if in this kind of unreal or contrary-to-fact comparison.

So:

• כאילו אין מבוי סתום = correct for as if there is no dead end
• כמו ש־אין מבוי סתום would not sound right here

It can definitely be metaphorical.

Because מבוי סתום is commonly used figuratively, the whole sentence can mean something like continuing forward despite obvious signs that the situation has no solution or no exit.

So the sentence may describe:

• literally walking down a dead-end path
• metaphorically persisting in a hopeless situation

Hebrew speakers would understand both possibilities depending on context.
