Questions & Answers about העבודה החדשה מתחילה מחר בבוקר.

Why do both העבודה and החדשה have ה־ at the beginning?

Because in Hebrew, when a noun is definite, an adjective describing it is usually definite too.

• עבודה = work / job
• העבודה = the work / the job
• חדשה = new
• החדשה = the new

So העבודה החדשה literally matches the job the new, which is how Hebrew expresses the new job.

If you said עבודה חדשה, that would mean a new job.

Is עבודה feminine? Is that why the adjective and verb look feminine too?

Yes. עבודה is a feminine singular noun.

Because of that:

• the adjective is feminine singular: חדשה
• the verb is also feminine singular: מתחילה

Hebrew usually makes adjectives and many verb forms agree with the noun in gender and number.

So the pattern is:

• עבודה חדשה מתחילה
• feminine noun + feminine adjective + feminine verb
