Questions & Answers about הן לא רוצות נעליים חדשות; הן רוצות רק קפה.
הן means they when referring to an all-female group.
Hebrew distinguishes between:
- הם = they for masculine or mixed groups
- הן = they for feminine groups
So הן לא רוצות... means they (feminine) do not want...
In everyday spoken Hebrew, many speakers use הם for almost everything, even for feminine groups, but הן is the correct feminine form and is common in careful or written Hebrew.
Because the subject הן is feminine plural, the verb must agree with it.
The base verb is לרצות = to want.
In the present tense:
- רוצה = wants / wanting (masculine singular)
- רוצה = wants / wanting (feminine singular is pronounced differently in context? Actually the spelling is the same, but agreement shows elsewhere)
- רוצים = masculine plural
- רוצות = feminine plural
Since the subject is הן = they (feminine), the correct form is רוצות.
