Questions & Answers about הנשים רוצות להביא קפה לעבודה, והן באות מוקדם.
Why is it הנשים and not just נשים?
ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, meaning the. So הנשים means the women.
- נשים = women
- הנשים = the women
In this sentence, the speaker is talking about a specific group, not women in general.
Why are רוצות and באות in the feminine plural form?
Because the subject is הנשים (the women), which is feminine plural. In Hebrew, verbs in the present tense agree with the subject in gender and number.
So:
- רוצות = want for a feminine plural subject
- באות = come / are coming for a feminine plural subject
Compare:
- הנשים רוצות = the women want
- הגברים רוצים = the men want
The ־ות ending is a common marker of feminine plural in present-tense verb forms.
