הדוברת מדברת עם המשטרה.

הדוברת means the female speaker or the spokeswoman, depending on context.

It is feminine because the base word דוברת is the feminine form. Hebrew often marks gender directly on nouns and participles.

• masculine: דובר = a male speaker / spokesman
• feminine: דוברת = a female speaker / spokeswoman

The ה־ at the beginning means the, so:

• דוברת = a female speaker / spokeswoman
• הדוברת = the female speaker / the spokeswoman

Because in Hebrew, the verb in the present tense agrees with the subject in gender and number.

The subject here is הדוברת, which is feminine singular, so the verb is also feminine singular:

• הדוברת מדברת = the spokeswoman is speaking / talking

Compare:

• הדובר מדבר = the spokesman is speaking
• הדוברת מדברת = the spokeswoman is speaking
• הדוברים מדברים = the speakers are speaking
• הדוברות מדברות = the female speakers are speaking

So the matching feminine forms are completely normal.

They are related. Both come from the Hebrew root ד־ב־ר, which is connected with speaking.

• דוברת = female speaker / spokeswoman
• מדברת = speaking / talks

This is very common in Hebrew: words built from the same root often have related meanings.

A learner might notice that the words sound similar, and that is helpful rather than confusing here—they really are connected.

In Hebrew present tense, there is usually no separate word for am / is / are.

So:

• הדוברת מדברת literally looks like the spokeswoman speaking
• but it means the spokeswoman is speaking / is talking

This is normal Hebrew grammar. In the present tense, Hebrew often uses a participle-like form instead of a separate verb to be.

So the full sentence naturally means:

• הדוברת מדברת עם המשטרה = The spokeswoman is talking with the police

Hebrew present tense often covers both ideas.

So מדברת can mean:

• speaks
• is speaking
• sometimes even does speak, depending on context

In this sentence, both of these are possible translations:

• The spokeswoman is talking with the police.
• The spokeswoman talks with the police.

Usually context tells you which sounds better in English.

עם means with.

So:

• מדברת עם המשטרה = is talking with the police

It is the normal word you use for with in the sense of being together with someone or communicating with someone.

Examples:

• אני מדבר עם דן = I am speaking with Dan
• היא הולכת עם חברה = She is going with a friend

In this sentence, עם connects the speaking action to the person or group being spoken with.

משטרה is a feminine singular noun meaning police or police force.

With ה־, it becomes המשטרה = the police.

Even though English police often feels plural, Hebrew משטרה is grammatically singular and feminine. It usually refers to the institution or police force, not just one officer.

So:

• המשטרה הגיעה = the police arrived
  (literally feminine singular in Hebrew grammar)

If you want to talk about a single police officer, you would use a different word, such as:

• שוטר = policeman
• שוטרת = policewoman

In Hebrew, the definite article the is usually attached directly to the beginning of the noun as ה־.

So:

• דוברת = spokeswoman
• הדוברת = the spokeswoman

and

• משטרה = police
• המשטרה = the police

This is different from English, where the is a separate word.

You should think of ה־ as the Hebrew equivalent of English the, just written as a prefix.

A common pronunciation is:

ha-do-VE-ret me-da-BE-ret im ha-mish-ta-RA

A more detailed breakdown:

• הדוברת = ha-do-VE-ret
• מדברת = me-da-BE-ret
• עם = im
• המשטרה = ha-mish-ta-RA

The main stress is usually near the end of these words:

• doVEret
• daBEret
• taRA

It can mean either, depending on context.

Common possibilities include:

• female speaker
• spokeswoman
• female spokesperson

In modern Hebrew, דובר / דוברת is often used for an official spokesperson, especially in news or formal settings.

So this sentence could mean:

• The spokeswoman is talking with the police
• or more literally, The female speaker is talking with the police

Usually context determines which English translation is best.

This order is very normal:

• הדוברת מדברת עם המשטרה

It follows a common pattern:

• subject + verb + prepositional phrase

However, Hebrew word order is somewhat flexible, especially for emphasis.

For example, you might also see:

• עם המשטרה הדוברת מדברת
  This is much less neutral and sounds marked or emphatic.

For a learner, the original sentence is the safest and most natural pattern to use.

Because המשטרה is not a direct object here.

In the sentence:

• הדוברת מדברת עם המשטרה

the phrase עם המשטרה means with the police, so it is a prepositional phrase introduced by עם.

The marker את is used before definite direct objects, but not after prepositions.

Compare:

• הדוברת רואה את המשטרה = The spokeswoman sees the police
  (את is needed because the police is the direct object)

but:

• הדוברת מדברת עם המשטרה = The spokeswoman talks with the police
  (עם already introduces the phrase, so no את)

It works in both, but it may sound slightly formal because of הדוברת.

Why?

Because דוברת often means spokeswoman, which is a word common in news, official statements, and formal contexts.

So the sentence could sound like something from a news report:

• The spokeswoman is speaking with the police

Grammatically, though, everything in the sentence is standard and natural Hebrew.
