Questions & Answers about המונה החכם שומר את היסטוריית הצריכה.
In Hebrew, adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.
So:
- מונה חכם = a smart meter
- המונה החכם = the smart meter
The ה is the definite article, equivalent to the.
When a noun is definite, its adjective must also be definite.
So המונה החכם literally works like the meter the-smart, but in natural English that becomes the smart meter.
שומר is the present-tense form (historically a participle) of the verb לשמור, meaning to keep, guard, preserve, save, store.
In Modern Hebrew, there is usually no separate present-tense word for is / am / are.
So:
- המונה החכם שומר... = The smart meter keeps / is keeping / stores...
Hebrew just uses the present form directly, without adding a word like is.
Also, שומר is masculine singular, matching המונה.
