What does איזה mean here?
איזה means which or sometimes what kind of, depending on context.
So איזה ספר can mean:
- which book
- or more loosely what book
In this sentence, which book is the most natural understanding.
Why is it איזה ספר and not איזה הספר?
Because Hebrew normally does not use ה־ on the noun after איזה in this kind of question.
So:
- איזה ספר = which book
- איזה הספר is generally not the normal way to say it here
It works like English: you say which book, not which the book.
Why are אתה and רוצה both there?
