- אתם = you, masculine plural / mixed group
- אתן = you, feminine plural
Why is the verb מבינות and not מבינים?
Because the subject אתן is feminine plural, and Hebrew present-tense forms agree with the subject in gender and number.

- אתם מבינים = you men / you all understand
This agreement is very important in Hebrew.
