אחרי שריפת הביסק מוסיפים גלזורה.

Because שריפת is the construct form of שריפה.

Hebrew often links two nouns together in a structure called סמיכות (construct state), like:

• שריפה = a firing / burning
• שריפת הביסק = the firing of the bisque

So שריפת means firing of ... and must be followed by another noun.

This is very similar to how English says the firing of the bisque rather than just firing.

In a construct phrase, the definiteness is usually marked on the second noun, not the first.

So:

• שריפת ביסק = bisque firing / a bisque firing
• שריפת הביסק = the firing of the bisque

Even though שריפת does not have ה־, the whole phrase becomes definite because הביסק is definite.

This is a very common Hebrew pattern.

ביסק is a loanword from the world of ceramics. It refers to bisque, meaning pottery that has already gone through an initial firing, or the bisque firing stage.

So in this sentence, שריפת הביסק refers to the bisque-firing stage in pottery work.

A learner should know that this is not everyday vocabulary; it is more technical or studio-related.

Hebrew often uses the 3rd person plural to express a general action with no specific subject stated.

So מוסיפים literally means they add, but in many contexts it really means something like:

• you add
• one adds
• people add
• they add in a general instructional sense

In English, this is common in recipes, instructions, and technical descriptions. So here it functions like an impersonal instruction: After the bisque firing, glaze is added or you add glaze.

Because את is normally used only before a definite direct object.

Here, גלזורה is indefinite:

• מוסיפים גלזורה = they add glaze
• מוסיפים את הגלזורה = they add the glaze

So if the speaker means glaze in a general sense, את is not used.

No, גלזורה is also a loanword, used especially in ceramics.

A more traditionally Hebrew term is זיגוג, but in actual studio or craft language, גלזורה is very common.

So a learner should not be surprised that this sentence contains specialized borrowed vocabulary.

Because Hebrew has two common ways to say after:

1. אחרי

   • noun phrase
   • אחרי שריפת הביסק = after the bisque firing

2. אחרי ש־

   • clause
   • אחרי ששורפים את הביסק = after firing the bisque / after they fire the bisque

The sentence you have uses the more compact noun-phrase version, which sounds natural in technical or procedural language.

The sentence is:

• אחרי שריפת הביסק = after the bisque firing
• מוסיפים גלזורה = they add glaze

So the order is:

time expression + verb + object

This is very natural in Hebrew. It is similar to English sentences like:

• After the bisque firing, they add glaze.

Hebrew word order is somewhat flexible, but this version sounds normal and clear.

It is usually pronounced roughly as sreifat or srefat, depending on the speaker and level of precision.

The important thing for a learner is that when שריפה goes into construct form, it changes shape:

• שריפה → שריפת

That final ת is a typical sign of this noun pattern in construct state.

Yes. Very easily.

Because מוסיפים is being used impersonally, the sentence can sound like:

• a technical description
• a recipe-style instruction
• a process explanation

So depending on context, it may mean either:

• After the bisque firing, glaze is added or
• After the bisque firing, you add glaze

Both are natural interpretations.
