Questions & Answers about כן, אני זוכר שקנינו הרבה גבינה, אבל רק קצת ביצים.
Why is it אני זוכר and not אני זוכרת?
Because זוכר must agree with the speaker’s gender.
- זוכר = masculine singular
- זוכרת = feminine singular
So a male speaker says אני זוכר, and a female speaker says אני זוכרת.
This is very common in Hebrew present tense, because present-tense forms often change for gender.
What does the ש־ in שקנינו mean?
The prefix ש־ means that in this sentence.
So שקנינו is literally that we bought.
Hebrew often attaches ש־ directly to the next word instead of writing it separately:
- שקנינו = ש + קנינו
It introduces a clause, just like English that in I remember that we bought...
