Questions & Answers about אני צריך עשר דקות כדי להגיע למשרד.
Because צריך agrees with the speaker’s gender.
- אני צריך = I need said by a male speaker
- אני צריכה = I need said by a female speaker
Hebrew adjectives and adjective-like words often change form depending on gender, and צריך / צריכה is one of them.
So:
- אני צריך עשר דקות... = said by a man
- אני צריכה עשר דקות... = said by a woman
Yes, very often.
Hebrew verbs in the present tense do not show person as clearly as past and future forms, so speakers sometimes include אני for clarity, but in many contexts you can say:
- צריך עשר דקות כדי להגיע למשרד.
This can still mean I need ten minutes to get to the office, especially if the context already makes it clear who is speaking.
Still, אני צריך is completely natural and often clearer for learners.
