Questions & Answers about אני לא רוצה לעלות במדרגות כשכואב לי הראש.
Because ordinary Hebrew spelling usually leaves out vowel marks.
So רוצה can be read as:
- רוֹצֶה = rotze = a male speaker saying want
- רוֹצָה = rotza = a female speaker saying want
So:
- אני לא רוצה can mean I don’t want said by a man
- אני לא רוצה can also mean I don’t want said by a woman
You tell the difference from context or from hearing it spoken.
In Hebrew, לא is the normal word for not, and it usually comes directly before the verb or verb-like form it negates.
So:
- אני רוצה = I want
- אני לא רוצה = I do not want / I don’t want
That is the standard word order.
