Questions & Answers about אנחנו עורמים ארגזי קרטון ליד עגלת המשא.

Why is עורמים translated as are stacking? Isn’t it just present tense?

Yes. Hebrew present tense often covers both:

• simple present: we stack
• present progressive: we are stacking

So אנחנו עורמים can mean either one, depending on context. In this sentence, the natural English translation is usually we are stacking.

Why is the verb עורמים in the masculine plural form?

Because Hebrew present-tense verbs agree with the subject in number and gender.

• עורמים = masculine plural
• עורמות = feminine plural

The pronoun אנחנו can mean we for any group, but the verb shows whether the group is:

• all female → אנחנו עורמות
• male or mixed group → אנחנו עורמים

So this sentence suggests a male group or a mixed group.

Can אנחנו be omitted here?
