Questions & Answers about הוא מרגיש טוב יותר כשהמורה מסבירה לאט.
Why is מסבירה in the feminine form?
Because המורה here is understood as female.
The noun מורה can mean teacher for either a man or a woman, so the verb form tells you the gender in this sentence:
- מסביר = explaining, masculine
- מסבירה = explaining, feminine
So:
- כשהמורה מסבירה = when the teacher explains, referring to a female teacher
If the teacher were male, it would be:
- כשהמורה מסביר לאט
What does כש mean in כשהמורה?
כש means when.
It is attached directly to the next word here:
- כש + המורה = כשהמורה
- literally: when the teacher...
This is very common in Hebrew. You will often see כש attached as a prefix rather than written separately.
A longer, more formal alternative is כאשר, which also means when:
- כאשר המורה מסבירה לאט
That means the same thing, but כש is more common in everyday Hebrew.
